Fantastic Bore: FF Movie Slammed

[ZariusTwo]

http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=20532

This, I'm assuming, is why Fantastic Four feels very much like an extended episode of Charmed


LOL

[Mecha Cow]

Well, that article is written by the same guy who jizzed all over Revenge of the Sith, so I don't think he's in much of a position to say what is and what isn't a good movie.

Meh, Fantastic Four looks alright, I'll save my judgement for after I've seen it.

*E* What a sh*tty 'review'; He didn't even bother explaining why he thought the movie was bad, thus doing a great job at wasting my time.

Also, 500th post!

[Barkworm]

All the trailers of this movie have looked incredibly lame, I wouldn't be surprised if the movie actually was equally bad.
Jessica Alba is hot though. :lol:

[Peanut]

I'll see it before passing judgement. These know-nothing critics really don't matter to me.

[tekcop]

I'm not going to bother with the review, but I'm a huge Fantastic Four fan and I don't think I'll be seeing this movie in the theatres.

[Brodie]

This movie's preview is a better Fantastic 4 flick than the original.

[The Stryker]

The Trailers were terrible and make the movie seem like its going to be another Batman & Robin but im still gonna see it and if its good, Hey atleast our Expectations will be low.

[Hannah]

I thought the trailers were cool. o_O

[Dane E5R]

I agree, the trailers look fantastic to me. No pun intended, seriously.

[Mandi-chan]

I think it looks good, but may wait for the dvd release...

[Brodie]

Oh man, who ever ryhmed Four, with BORE?! HILARIOUS!

[raphael_is_cool]

The trailer, to me, looks like the film came into production this way:


INT. FILM STUDIO EXEC'S OFFICE - DAY

The WRITERS and STUDIO EXEC are sat at a desk, opposite each other.

EXEC: So, you guys have a film proposal?

WRITER 1: Yeah, you know what we need more of?

WRITER 2: Comic book movies!

EXEC (cautious): Go, on...

WRITER 1: Look at all these other films...Spiderman, Batman, Daredevil, Elektra...

WRITER 2: I wrote Hulk and Punisher!

EXEC (unimpressed): Oh...okay...

WRITER 1 (quickly changing tact): Well, anyway...all these films have one lead character. Imagine how much better it would be if you had four in one film! With a super villain!

EXEC: Hmm...go on...

WRITER 1: Fantastic Four! No one's done that yet!

EXEC: I always figured it might be hard to do a film like that...

WRITER 2: Nuh uh. All you need are some poorly cast, but attractive to most audiences, actors and have you seen what CGI can do these days?!

WRITER 1: I reckon they can even make big, spongy, orange suits look good!

WRITER 2: Definitely!

EXEC: It'll have explosions, too, right?

WRITER 2: Four times as many as your average action film

WRITER 1: The script will be excellent too. You see we've got one or two elements from the original

WRITER 2 (excited): Or should we say 'four'?!

WRITER 1: (to WRITER 2) Shut up
(to EXEC) So, yeah, some of what resembles the Fantastic Four that everyone knows and loves is there, but get this...

WRITER 2: ...we've filled it with so lots of cool, witty lines!

WRITER 1: People will be quoting it for weeks

EXEC: The Thing will say 'It's clobberin' time', won't he?

WRITER 1: Crap, totally forgot that. We'll add it in one scene...maybe in two scenes...

WRITER 2: But, yeah. You could definitely sell those push-button talking figures these lines are so quotable. Get this, at one point The Invisible Woman says...she says...she...I can't...

WRITER 2 can't stop giggling. WRITER 1 is smirking then decides to finish it off.

WRITER 1: She..She says 'look at me'

They all laugh uncontrollably.

EXEC: Sold!


Sorry, was bored and got a bit carried away... :P

[Brodie]

I liked Punisher.....

[raphael_is_cool]

I knew someone would pick at that. I've never seen it. I hear comic book fans like it. But I'm not sure if a film executive would see it as a big blockbuster film for a mass audience. I know it never even got any real promotion over here.

[Peanut]

I liked Hulk and The Punisher. In fact, I think Punisher was awesome. What exactly was so bad about it?

[GK Punk]

I haven't seen Hulk, but I liked the Punisher... Im looking forward to the FF, I think it looks neat.

[damnhooligan]

Well, I caught the preview at the theaters when I went to see War of the Worlds. Looks pretty cool, and actually made me want to see the movie.

I'm not sure if I can get used to Ioan Gruffudd's American accent though.

[愛]

I've seen previews in the theaters and on TV, and I'm looking forward to this movie. I love movies based on comics, mainly because I'm trying to make up for my lack of comics in my childhood.

And I liked Punisher.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Frankly IMO, Marvel movies can do no wrong. I'll be seeing this.

[Jester]

Frankly IMO, Marvel movies can do no wrong. I'll be seeing this.
I consider myself a marvel comics fan, so i will definatly see this movie. Heck, I've seem almost all the Marvel Comics movies...including the 94 FF and the 85 Captain America. Still need to see Howard the Duck...but that can wait....:P

[ZariusTwo]

Fantastic Flop


http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fantastic_four/

26%? Harsh judgment, this makes FF the Marvel equivilant of Batman and Robin, once more, the worlds' "greatest comic magazine", is handled absolutley f*cking poorly

[Brodie]

Frankly IMO, Marvel movies can do no wrong. I'll be seeing this.

See man-thing........

[ZariusTwo]

See man-thing........


...And Cormens' Fantastic Four

...And Electra

...And Nick Fury (Hasselhoff version)

[Brodie]

I wanna see the Sam Jackson version of Nick Fury....

Anyway. One good thing came out of this, the entire series on DVD, did anyone get it? Is it work the 30 bucks?

And I had heard that the original movie was coming out on DVD too...

[DrSpengler]

I picked up the Fantastic Four box set on tuesday. The first season is utter trash and I can't believe I suffered through the whole thing. My God, it was worse than I remembered it. And Michael Austin Green doing his endless rap during the Moleman episode...I'd sooner catch a bowling ball with my face than watch that again.

HOWEVER

Season 2 was literally fantastic. First off, they got rid of that sh1tty "On an outerspace adventure..." theme song and replaced it with an orchestrational theme that was really good. They also switched animation studios and changed character desgins for a more serious tone. Then they changed some voice actors (most noteably, the FIRED Austin Green) and to top it all of the destroyed the Baxter Building in the first episode so we'd never have to see that b1tchy landlady again.

The cameos from Marvel superheroes were great. We got Daredevil, Black Panther, Thor, Ghost Rider and cameos from the Avengers, Spider-Man and the X-Men. And th best one of them all, Hulk and Thing have a serious one-on-one battle. Awesome.

So yeah, for the second season alone I'd say the box set is worth the price tag. You just have to suffer through a tremendously awful first season in order to get to the perfectly awesome second.

[Jester]

...And Cormens' Fantastic Four

...And Electra

...And Nick Fury (Hasselhoff version)
The '94 FF was so lame it was great....:p an unintentional comedy....

Electra....yeah that was pretty much crap....

Nick Fury: Agent of Shield.....Saw it and was suprised how much I actually liked it...it was just campy enough to work for me....

Hey Zarius...u ever see the 85 Captain America? With JD Salanger's son....

[ZariusTwo]

The '94 FF was so lame it was great....:p an unintentional comedy....

Thanks to this recent farce, it's probably the best F.F movie ever :lol:

Hey Zarius...u ever see the 85 Captain America? With JD Salanger's son....

I OWN it, it's not as bad as people say it is, and does a decent job of showcasing Captain America's origin, and his early battles with The Red Skull, although the script is a little bland

[Jester]

Saw FF tonite...suprised at how good it was, great action, humor and heart....a great feel good comic flick....

I OWN it, it's not as bad as people say it is, and does a decent job of showcasing Captain America's origin, and his early battles with The Red Skull, although the script is a little bland
Although Cap was in costume for like 10 minutes....and Skull was Italian...:P

[ZariusTwo]

Although Cap was in costume for like 10 minutes....and Skull was Italian...:P

15 minutes in beggining, middle, and end respectivly, you mean :lol:



I just finished watching the downloaded film, absolute p*ss story wise, the only saving graces were the conclusion that sets up some possible new developments for the sequel, Chris Evans' accurate portrayal of Johnny Storm, and most of the directing, which were far above earlier efforts from the guy behind "Taxi", I hope he's attached to more of these, because for whatever faults the script had, the style made for compelling viewing.

The remainder of the movie seemed...generic, The Thing looked ugly, Sue, nothing but a rack of tits who occasionly turned invisible, and Doctor Doom was basicly Batman Beyonds' Blight meets G.I Joes' Destro.

As much as I think The Incredibles sucked, it's story, combined with the characterstics and direction of this movie, would have made for an ideal F.F effort, and far much more of an emotional investment from people expecting a genuine attempt to cut off the boaderline popcorn fundimentals that stifiled Electra, but no, it's just that, popcorn fodder

[Jester]

I actually caught myself thinking more of Willem Defoe's Green Goblin from Spidey....a stiffed buisness man with powers who uses the to get revenge....:P

And....
The ending seemed rather "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to me....the whole doom crated in a sea of other crates....although it seems that FF2 will take place most likely in Latveria....:P

[Spitfire]

I read about this movie over a year ago and I said to myself "This is going to suck" Then I saw something from it in a game preview and I said "Wow this looks like it's going to suck" then I saw a short TV spot for it where they showed some filming of it and I said "Wow this looks like total suck" A month or so later I went to the movies and saw a preview and I said "God this looks like a bunch of suck" Lastly I saw TV ads every commrcial break during my favorite Comdey Central programs and I said "Could this suck anymore? It's just a giant ball of sucking suck. a suck-fest if you will"
And Rotten Tomatoes has confirmed the suck. There is one movie on there I really like that they gave a bad review and that's Underworld. But other then that their correct 99% of the time. I like movie critics I hate video game critics

[Barkworm]

Why's that? I mean, video game reviews are a lot more based on objective points than movie reviews. If someone says the controls of a game are lousy, it's most likely a matter of fact but if someone doesn't like the plot of movie x it's often subjective.

[Spitfire]

Most games are reviewed to appeal to Casual gamers. I see people bash Devil May Cry 3 and says it's to hard, yet they praise God Of War. Their both bascially the same game except GOW is way easier. Games that take skill to play never get good reviews. GTA will get a great review but a good game like Mister Mosquito will get a horrible review because it's different...Not every reviewer does this though. Just every magazine, and 90% of the internet websties*If not all of them* My friend claims G-4 gives good reviews but I saw a show on there that said RE 4 had bad controls <_< The bottom line is people are shallow and dont like change. So if a game tries a new concept it rarely gets a good review. I don't care what anyone says everyone hates Nintendo and loves Sony. The PSP games out got rave reviews where the DS ones just got decent or horrible reviews. I like Kirby's Canvas Curse, NFS:U2, Star Wars 3, Yoshi's Touch And Go, Mr.Driller, and Mario '64. But because it's on DS it gets a bad review. I can play Ridge Racer on my PS2 if I need too. I don't want to play MGS with cards. But I guess everyone else does. So PSP games get great reviews and DS games get the iron fist. And I have played a PSP. Every game on PSP that is out in the US in fact and I thought they were all eh. Boring really, sure decent I guess. To be honest most of them just plain sucked. The PSP is more like an I-pod with a DVD player in it. But that's a different arguement
Anyways bottom line is critics in the gameing industry are biased to whatever company they like, shallow. In movies it's not like that. That is why I trust movie reviews. Game reviews steer me toward the wrong games and away from the fun ones. As where movie reviews have kept me from the crap and where the good stuff is. Reviews told me AVP sucked and it did. They told me Blade 3 sucked and it did. They told me Batman was good and it was. Easy as that

[BartAllen]

I saw fantastic four, i didnt pay to see it either. and while it wasnt the greatest, it could of been worse. and it does suck that alba was used for the T and A factor. when susan storm is a really interesting character. oh well.

[Ra]

Fantastic Four isn't really on my 'To See' list. I never really liked the cartoon, so why should I go and see the movie? To go to sleep excluded I mean

[ZariusTwo]

Fantastic Four isn't really on my 'To See' list. I never really liked the cartoon, so why should I go and see the movie?

Because it's not based on the cartoon, but on the comics?

[Raven]

seeing this movie just made me want to go see a good comic book film like Batman begins and Spiderman.
The changing of the orgin did nothing to the story, Doom still comes from his home country, and the others still got there powers.
This movie didnt really add or take away, its like they looked at one of the comic's and did it panel for panel....and changed Unnecessary things just to sell the movie. The final fight between Doom and FF was so boring, if I were to blink I would have missed it. Where was the story? there was nothing going on, sure we got to see what life was like as the FF, but I felt like I was watching a episode of the real world, and not a big buget movie. This movie really sucks, it could have been so much better, but instead of trying to make a good movie with a good story, they went the usaul route and made it gimmiky as hell, just so they could make some money. Terrible movie.

How does something look like Suck? Or a bunch of suck?



Anyways, not to step on this kid's longass hot topic pants, and his utter urge to struggle to be funny, F4 wasn't a "big ball of suck." Sure, the dialogue sucks, and the Thing sucked hardcore. That doesn't mean its a big ball of suckage, which would imply a black-hole of some kind. Chris Evans was awesome as Johnny Storm, cause Johnny is cocky and arrogant, and he was all these things. He attempted to be the character while everyone else tried to make it their own. I have to admit, the bridge scene was far better than the final battle, and there seemed to be more at stake. The costumes were alright, probably the closest to the designs of the comic books. The directing was great, far better than that of Resident Evil flicks, Elektra and probably Catwoman( I didn't see it, so the only one who could tell us is the DC fanboy, MP).


And why go by Rotten Tomatoes? It's just a bunch of idiots (Like you and I) who saw the movie and put in there two cents. I'm not trying to Defend the Fantastic Four as a definitive kickass comic flick, cause it's not, but jesus h. christ, chief, you guys are nuts. Just cause this isn't Spider-Man (which, thanks to Tobey McGuire, I hate) you guys piss and moan. ******** on that, it was a better attempt than Elektra and Catwoman.

And lets not forget the 94 version of the F4. This comic is something so weird it walks the very thin line between funny/cool and campy/stupid. The original movie was dogpuke, hilarious campy dogpuke, but this atleast tried to take itself more seriously, for the comic book's sake.

It's not that effin' bad.


Edit: And Jessica Alba was in her underwear, half you fanboys aren't ever getting laid. Fork over your 5 bucks.

You lost me right here. Mainly because I dispise Hot Topic and a associating me with it is just ludacris...gah the posers that shop there sicken me. They buy clothes for bands they dont listen to. Then they try to act badass because they have a Slayer shirt. It's pathic...and their pants suck. I USED to shop there about 3 years ago and the pants I did buy got all ripped up with-in 2 weeks....

[Jester]

Indeed Brodie, Jessica Alba is well worth the price of admission...:P

Come on guys....is this movie really worth fighting over??

[ZariusTwo]

Two cents=Opinions, ones several of the public happen to share, until I see some kind of moronic law that forbids freedom of speech and constructive reasoning, I think you're out of options where catergorsing is concerned

[Brodie]

My post said it was normal people (Notice the 'you and I'), and the two cents, i know what two cents means. I'm also stating that some people on here treat it like Rotten Tomatoes is Biblical Law.

Don't assume I'm saying people can't have opinions, because I'm not you.

[Anarky]

Okay, how much do you like this thread?

Anyways, I don't even know what Rotten Tomatoes is, aside from vegetables (actually they're fruits, but who cares) one shouldn't eat...

It often is with me, I agree with several of thier reviews upon watching the movies recommened

If you like it, fine, but don't take hissy fits because others did'nt

[Jester]

I think I liked it more cause I had low expectations....:P

[Dane E5R]

I was satisfied. Everyone portrayed their characters well, and it ended EXACTLY how I wanted it to. But yea, like Brodie said (sorta,) just because this wasn't a SPECTACULAR film like Spider-Man doesn't mean it wasn't a GOOD film. Seriously, you naysayers can't say you sat through that entire film and didn't laugh at ANY of the interactions between Johnny and Ben. And if you did, you've got some record breaking sticks crammed up your asses.
I gotta say, I'm shocked to hear that a lot of people didn't like the Thing. I thought he was excellent, especially his groggy voice. I was a little disappointed in Alicia Masters, though. As much as I was rooting for a black Alicia, she didn't seem much like the Alicia I was familiar with. She was just sorta.. There.

[Jester]

I think she was only "there" because she pretty much was....there wqsn't any real development of her character....although in a movie with this much to devlope some charcters devlopment is kinda left lacking....

[ZariusTwo]

you naysayers can't say you sat through that entire film and didn't laugh at ANY of the interactions between Johnny and Ben

I never have honestly, it was the same with the cartoon

Once more, I back up my opinion the film had more lows than hights, if you want to count how many "sticks are up my ass", try removing the foot that was stuck up your own whilst you were counting ;)

[Raven]

sorry to dissappoint, but I havent seen catwoman, I didnt feel like kiiling all my brain cells.

[Zachatello00]

i liked FF. It did what it needed to do. The problem is, I'm getting tired of watching movies about origins. I know the origins, that's why I'm seeing the movie. They kinda spent a whole lotta time doing nothing. But it was worth seeing. I'm just looking forward to the sequel.

[DrSpengler]

I saw it just a few minutes ago. It's kind've in the middle for me. Better than the likes of Daredevil and Hulk, but not as good as Spider-Man or X-Men.

They got a lot of things right, which I appreciated, and the things they changed didn't irk me as much as I had expected. My problem, really, was that there wasn't any real conflict untilt he end of the movie. And even then it was just a fight scene. I feel a little let down, but this wasn't the big super hero movie I was anticipating, anyway (that honor goes to the much superior Batman Begins).

[愛]

Saw it tonight with everyone's favorite comedian, Voltron. I say I'm in the middle about it, too. It was good, but it didn't size up there with Spider-Man or Punisher. I liked the little jokes here and there, and the characters were played fairly well. I'm not a big comic book person, so I didn't have anything to compare it to. Voltron told me it coincided with the comic a good amount, which is good. Overall, good movie.

[KROW]

I saw it Sunday afternoon, and I have only two gripes:

-- Reed's hair (I was expecting more white highlights)
-- Doom's voice (not very diverse and intimidating)

The rest I thought was quite entertaining. I liked the way the team was handled. As for the ending, I found it to be a bit rushed, but it was good altogether.

I not only await the sequel, but the crossover with Spider-Man (yeah, it'll never happen, but hey... :P )

[Zachatello00]

Avi Arad just confirmed the sequel as FF raked in 56 million this weekend. I'm excited about this because now that the origin is out of the way, they can just explode with action. I'm glad that Superman Returns won't have to do an origin story.

Eh Batman made more, $71.1 Million. And I have a feeling that's all the money FF is going to make. I mean it's cool if people like it but I don't think anyone is going to see it now. I have a feeling it's going to bomb, kinda like the other Marvel movies that fell short of Spider-man's sucess. People have seen FF now and since most of them didn't like it they will tell people not to see it.

[Barkworm]

Eh Batman made more, $71.1 Million.
Nope, Batman Begins only made $48,745,440.

[MrPliggins]

spoilers
This movie was entertaining. It had its flaws, yeah, but I don't think it's as bad as people are making it out to be. I wasn't bothered by the changes made from the comic, though I'm not really familiar with Doom's origin story. The Thing and The Torch were the strongest characters I think (despite the Thing's rubber suit, which was done pretty well for a rubber suit, but would have been better as cg rock).
Jessica Alba is great to look at, but from day one I just couldn't picture her as the Invisible Woman, and she just doesn't seem right for the role even after seeing the movie. The relationship between her and Reed didn't seem very believable and it seemed a little forced. It seemed the scenes of her getting naked were there just to show some Alba, and weren't really needed for the story.
Reed Richards was a bland character, one of the most uninteresting characters in the movie. Doom was ok, but I agree that his voice didn't seem right, especially after he put on the mask.
The story was a little slow at times, but it kept my attention. They spent too much time on the origin and them figuring out their powers. It wasn't one of those movies where I was looking at my watch constantly, so I give this movie a
3 / 5.

[KROW]

Reed Richards was a bland character, one of the most uninteresting characters in the movie.
I give Ioan Gruffud kudos then, because that's how Reed is in the comics. :lol:

[Spitfire]

EDIT: uhh nevermind

[Jo Dawn]

I happened to like the movie. (Despite Jessica Alba. SORRY ELITE!! *hugs*) Of course, Michael Chiklis is always awesome (ever watch the Shield? Sweeet.) and the guy from Nip/ Tuck (can't think of name offhand, hehe) that played Doom was really cool, though I thought he didn't have enough screentime!! (Though, do his eyebrow totally facinate anyone else? Hehe. ;) :) )

I don't read the comics; I've really only read a few. But I was never once bored with this movie. Johnny Storm and the Thing were PERFECT. And I love the fact that they sent more time on Ben Grimm's story than the rest. Good choice, as he is the most human of them all. It was heartbreaking. Well played by Michael Chiklis. I give him endless kudos. I may go see this one again... And I'm definately buying it on DVD when it comes out. :D

You're right, I'm sure not any single person ever will see Fantastic four, and No one will EVER buy the DVD, and no video store will ever buy multiple copies of the DVD or tape.

[Spitfire]

Anyone being most people. As in majority. You know? Like the majority of the people who saw Resident Evil thought it sucked. Just like the majority of the people who saw this movie*Not on this forum but the people I've talked to don't like it* Sure people will buy the DVD. I'm sure someone even bought House Of The Dead on DVD. Movies can be horrid and someone will always buy them. I'm just saying it ran it's course already in one weekend.

[Dane E5R]

Well, you also have to factor in merchandice sales. I'm pretty sure F4 is a movie kids will love, and that'll sell a lot of Thing feet.

haha last time I was at Wal-mart I was looking at those FF toys. haha their funny o_O They seemed to have alot too...but toy sales have nothing to do with the amount of money the movie itself makes. If you want to add all that in the movie is going to make money at hotels, pay-per view, rentals, DVD purchase, toys, cable showing, and video games. Everything makes money in the end X_X

[The Stryker]

Crappy Movies can make a mint just in DVD sales alone, Box office numbers are starting to become 2nd priority.

Eurotrip made alot of money.

So if FF is good even in the smallest margain it'll kill in DVD sales.not to mention Toys

What factors in most are the DVD and box office sales themselves. When the DVDs are made, rental stores buy various amounts. That still makes money for the movie itself. The movie is big, all things considered, regardless of how much people hate it.

I saw the movie last night, hate to say it...but I was bored! The trailer for this film was better lol!

The only part I liked about the movie was Ben and his story, the rest was kinda dull and slightly corny. I wanted to like it a lot more than I did, trust me.

[Pher]

Ive been watching the fantastic four cartoon ondvd, so i was hyped to see this movie, was it as good as x2? no but i definitly enjoyed in a summer with a lot of darker movies, a light hearted take on the fantastic four was definitly enjoyable

[marleynaki]

i saw the movie yesterday and for me was really good...
is the first movie and need told all history about how became in the fantastic four.

also is really funny this movie i like so much the jokes of the thing and human torch...

I saw it opening night and... it was eh. I didn't hate it, but it was the worst of the "modern" Marvel movies I've seen (keep in mind I haven't seen Elektra yet). Chiklis kept the movie interesting for me as Thing, and Alba was smokin' hot, but Reed was boring and Doom was the least intimidating movie villain since Richard Pryor's boss in Superman III. And will anyone besides comic fans get the crate being shipped to Latveria? Nobody in the (packed to capacity) theatre I was in seemed to understand the reference besides me. Ah well. Aside from the kinda weak fight at the end, the way Doom was portrayed was what killed the flick for me. He's like Marvel's Darth Vader, he ranked number 1 in a Wizard ranking of comic book villains a few years back, and yet this flick made him seem so weak.

Well, I wasn't expecting much. I'm not sorry I saw it, I just won't rush to get the DVD and will hope for better things from the sequel. I guess every comic movie just sucks now compared to Batman Begins, but what can ya do?

I just caught the flick the other night. It was amusing, but pretty juvenile. I laughed, I groaned, I smiled, I shook my head.

But dear God! Jules McMahon's eyebrows were scarier than Doom himself! They are a force to be reckoned with!

...but Reed was boring...

Mission accomplished!

I had a blast watching the movie though. It's been awhile since a good, fun superhero flick came out. 8/10

I was REALLY disapointed with this movie. I was soo pyched for it, cause I love the FF and I thaught the trailer looked good. But dammit, I saw it opening night, and was really let down. I was unimpressed by the acting, mainly Julian McMahon, cause Dr.Doom has such potential for being an amazing villian, and in the end, I didn't give two flying turds for him. Their seemed to be jump cuts, the action scenes weren't all that amazing, and the tone of the movie was too goofy in my opinion. As is the case with most people who've seen this movie, the only thing I actually liked about the movie was... the Thing. The one scene I actually liked was when Ben's wife sets her ring on the ground, and Ben goes to pick it up, but he can't because of his hands. That part actually moved me. But after that, the only movement I got from the movie was my ass getting tired from sitting. This movie had Spider-Man and Batman potential, but instead, we got something short of Daredevil and just barely above Elektra, if you get my meaning.
