Sounded promising, was meh in reality. It was so formulaic and boring. You knew the outcome from the beginning, and none of the characters were particularly interesting, let alone likeable. Whereas Superman even made the dickhead green lantern likeable. I’ve always hated Superman and the surrounding characters but Tim Gunn made a FAR better movie out of less interesting characters (to me) than marvel made with beloved characters. Marvel just is losing what made it great. And that was the connection to the characters and heart. Superman has heart and likeable characters. Fantastic 4 had formulaic bullshit and characters that were boring.

Yeah, 3 days ago lmao. They’re starting to improve again though this doesn’t bode well.
That movie was mid at BEST. it’s overrated because it doesn’t suck compared to their recent trash, but it’s not actually good.
