Chronicle (2012)

This is the superhero flick which landed Josh Trank the Fantastic Four reboot, to everybody’s disappointment (including his own). The movie is spectacular and it is an autopsy (this is the right word) of what happens when a timid teenager with family issues gains superpowers.

This is no Peter Parker story, by far. Chronicle received almost unanimous critical acclaim and brought back the studio a hefty profit. Josh Trank became a well-known director, while Dane DeHaan went on to play Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Michael B. Jordan became the Human Torch.
