The overproduced superhero stuff is really looking like cheap fast food french fries.

Overproduced is another key word! When I see the Jupiter Ascending previews I'm thinking, Gods of mighty remove at least 50% of the visuals so I can actually focus on something!


Jupiter Ascending looks like a disaster.

When the studio first shuffled the date for Jupiter Ascending a lot later that was the first bad sign.
It seems like an enormous bomb, and probably well deserved. The studios just need to stop approving the production of this garbage.

The article is right that Sundance isn't really the best place to screen this.

I'm not expecting much aside from eye candy and the score, so, who knows.


And that Fantastic Four trailer sucks.

The Tim Story movies got lots of crap too, but they're looking pretty spiffy now big grin compared...

The only thing that can "save" Marvel films for me is to set them in the 1960's New York.

Fat chance of that happening!

Thanks for being a kindred spirit. Your post with others on this thread gives me a crumb of hope that rational people still exist.

It definitely does, which is no surprise, as Fox hired Mark Millar as a consultant for Fox's Marvel films. In the comics, Millar co-wrote Ultimate FF's origin, as well as several other issues of the title. Although many of the stories are enjoyable, they are quite a bit different from the classic FF. The most important distinction being that the Ultimate FF never had the family dynamic that you see in classic FF. By making Reed much younger, and reducing significantly Sue's role as a sort of mother to Johnny, the Ultimate FF felt like less of a family and more like four peers who got their powers the same way and are now working together. Not terrible by any means, but IMHO, it lost the uniqueness that made the original FF so special.

Problem with the film is that it's the same "dark, broody and mentally tormented" pulp we have been getting now since 1989, complements of two extremely overrated guys (Miller and Burton) and featuring performers chosen to look like they are still fighting puberty more than supervillains. The studios just don't get it that reason Iron Man was such a success (not in my book) was that it featured a grown up (played by someone who as an human in real life had gone through various experiences, had matured and has aged) in a film that didn't dwell on the dark and broody but went right against it.
For all its flaws (a terrible depiction of Dr. Doom and the rubbery Thing being the most glaring) I liked the two FF films even thought the best supervillain of all (Marvel, DC and anything else there is and might come), Doctor Doom was so very very badly portrayed and used.

Problem with comic books is first there was the kitsch wave as a result from Spawn's success then there was the Manga wave to combine in the toxic waste that is Mangasised Spawn kitsch featuring characters with baby physiques in overly shiny suits and garish settings.

So The Human Torch went from being Sue Storm's brother to just being "a brother"? Pathetic.
