I'm planning to watch this tomorrow with my girlfriend. Hoping that I can at least laugh at how bad it is although all these reviews are convincing me otherwise, and I actually paid to watch Morbius and regretted it 5 mins into the movie.

I think what "saved" the movie for me is that I went into the top corner of the mostly empty theater and wrote notes every time something stupid happened (so constantly)
there were some scenes where I legit wanted to talk out due to a combination of frustration and boredem. the notes absolutely saved me I have no idea how people are sitting through the whole thing. I DARTED out of the theater as soon as the credits started. i didn't want another second of this movie --- (|| ' ' ||) When have you ever seen three big, very smooth arcs . /|_|\ of hair sticking out of a person's forehead?

Madame Web breaks a 22-year-old Sony Spider-Man box office record during its 6-day opening. Since the release of 2002's Spider-Man starring Tobey Maguire, the Sony Spider-Man universe (SSU) has enjoyed a number of lucrative openings, including a $260.1 million domestic opening weekend gross for Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021. Despite being part of the SSU, Madame Web did not generate the same level of anticipation and excitement that usually exists for movies related to the popular superhero. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus ...

For me, there 100% is a wraparound effect where some movies can become so-bad-they're-good for one reason or another. Everything I've read so far seems to say that this thing only inspires apathy, which (to me) is the worst of all worlds. It's bad in all the non-fun ways and just cripplingly nothing in all the others. And yeah this one definitely has a bigger spotlight on it because it is Marvel adjacent and Sony wants these to become a thing. It's Sony's fetch.

Again, I have not seen this yet because I'm not confusing Sony by giving them money for this... Genny and I both have AMC membership because we watch a lot of movies, so checking this out didn't cost anything extra. But yeah, I watched nearly 120 horror films last year alone (just ones released last year too). I would say that for me though it is difficult to make a "so bad it's good" movie. The large majority of films that I'd say are bad are simply bad, and others are in this tier like Morbius and Web, just eh. There were like 3 times I laughed because something was actually bad enough to inspire it, but it's a 2 hour film so that's not much. Sony tried the laughably bad approach to Morbius because of the Morbin' Time meme and the general response to the movie, but I found Morbius to just be a pretty forgettable 90s vampire movie, not even "bad" per se. It's probably a better movie than Madame Web pretty easily though. This one was almost total apathy with nothing to take away. But again, I deem bad as like actually torturing me. I know some people (especially critics) praised Skinamarink for example last year but when I think of bad, I think of that. Pure unadulterated torture for like 90 minutes. --- :> Truly smilin' ...

That's a fair outlook.
But boring/apathetic/forgettable are way more damning than "bad" for me when it comes to movies. I can find weird masochistic enjoyment out of bad. Forgettable makes me angry I wasted time on things.

The way I understand it, Morbius was getting memed on because it was announced in 2020 and then delayed 2 years while Sony kept hyping it. Otherwise I don't get it.
As for whether a movie is so bad it's good, I'd put Batman & Robin in a borderline case since the actual plot is excruciatingly boring while the movie fails in tons of other ways (phony sets, bad costumes, dialogue full of one-liners and winks to the camera, awkward fight scenes) that get amusing because of how much they pile up. I think the first time I saw Armageddon I found it to be hilariously bad, but when I re-watched it I just found it mind-numbingly boring because of the sensory overload. Um hey Van Helsing has some cool fight scenes, but I'd call it a guilty pleasure at best and not really so bad it's good. --- Why do people act like the left is the party of social justice crusaders? ...

If it matters, no I don't think Armageddon is a bad movie because Roger Ebert told me to. I wasn't even aware what he thought of the movie when I first saw Armageddon. Also fwiw his former co-host Gene Siskel actually recommended it.
