The Fantastic Four (August 7)

Come on – you are also fooled by the first trailer into believing that Fox finally managed to find the correct formula for this comic book property.
Josh Trank directed one of the best small-budget superhero flicks, which was all about the characters and not about the special effects. Having him on board for Fantastic Four seemed like a good idea – it wasn’t and, by the second trailer, everybody realized that.
Fantastic Four didn’t make in its entire run the money made by respectable blockbusters in their first weekend (Ant-Man included). The first part of the movie was actually all right – what followed was a complete mess.
It was simply a waste of time and talent (given the names involved). But something good came out of it – Fox renounced the plans to make a sequel, thus paving the way for a deal with Marvel (yeah, this is wishful thinking at this stage).
