00:00Dakota Johnson is sharing what she really thinks about Madam Web and all the criticism the film
00:04has received. When the Sony and Marvel movie was released last month, it flopped at the box office
00:09and was bashed by critics and fans alike. In a new interview, Johnson tells Bustle,
00:17it was definitely an experience for me to make that movie. I had never done anything like it
00:21before. I probably will never do anything like it again, because I don't make sense in that world,
00:26and I know that now. But sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something and it's one
00:30thing, and then as you're making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and you're like,
00:34wait, what? But it was a real learning experience, and of course, it's not nice to be a part of
00:39something that's ripped to shreds, but I can't say that I don't understand. During the film's press
00:43tour, Johnson also hinted that the script was radically changed from when she originally read
00:48it. The actress went on to tell Bustle that when it comes to making movies today, decisions are
00:52being made by committees, and art does not do well when it's made by committee. Johnson continued,
00:57films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them. You cannot make art based on numbers
01:02and algorithms. My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and
01:07executives have started to believe that they're not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bull.
01:12Even if films start to be made with AI, humans aren't going to want to see those. For more on this
