I liked Cage as Big Daddy but I've not seen much other stuff he's been in. I didn't know he was hated, I thought everyone adored him.

I've always been under the impression that Nice Cage doesn't add anything to his movies that can't be done by just about anybody.

If Swiss cheese was a movie, it would be TDKR. |

Still not as ridiculous as what happened with Caesar. |

My brother convinced me (read: annoyed me until I gave in) to watch some Ledger Joker scenes. It's so bad, it's almost a comedy.

My brother convinced me (read: annoyed me until I gave in) to watch some Ledger Joker scenes. It's so bad, it's almost a comedy. The writing on that character was all over the place. It was a decent movie in some ways, but The Joker was far and away the part that most frequently took me out of the fiction. |

It's supposed to be grounded in reality, but it's hard with the amount of disbelief you have to suspend to believe the Joker. |

Michael B Jordan needs to be kicked in the nuts so hard
Michael B. Jordan MTV interview
Quote:
MTV: That’s surprising to hear, because you usually think with a big superhero movie that the film is basically built in a computer somewhere months in advance. Do you think this on-the-fly approach is a result of Josh Trank’s approach? Or how is that working?
Jordan: As much as everybody thinks that these projects are cemented in years before, they’re not. There’s so many things that you just can’t account for. You know, you can try and plan as much as you want, but you get there on game day and you get thrown a curve ball, I guess, hey, the game plan goes out the window. You’ve got to adapt.
Josh’s vision is very clear and he knows exactly what he wants, and he gives us room to adapt and to play. That’s what I kind of think sets us apart, is that this is going to be grounded and unconventional.
It’s not your typical superhero film, you know, we aren’t looking at this as like, being superheroes. We’re more or less a bunch of kids that had an accident and we have disabilities now that we have to cope with, and try to find a life afterwards – try to be as normal as we can.
MTV: You usually think of “Fantastic Four” as more Golden Age, kind of a “gee whiz!” approach, but this — and I don’t mean it in a bad way — sounds quite a bit angstier than the average Fantastic Four film.
Jordan: Yeah, I mean we’ve just got layers. We’re trying to make it relatable to people as much as we can [with these] larger than life, larger than this world themes.
It’s superheroes! You know, not just superheroes. It’s fiction. You’ve got to ground it as much as you can to make [audience members] feel relatable to these characters, no matter what age they are or what time of their life....
So it's Chronicle 2 with Fantastic Four names?
20th Century Fox's President of Production Emma Watts interview
Quote:
“Not so far. Certainly the audience seems to still be really enjoying it. We're making a big bet for 2015 with The Fantastic Four and director Josh Trank,” Watts said. “To me, the key is the originality of the filmmakers and the choices they make. Josh is another really interesting example, who is using the vision he gave us in Chronicle to reinvent a franchise he's loved his whole life. It's not that you can't make original ideas - you can, and we did it with Chronicle. The director is the key to not letting superhero movies go stale. That's the truth.”
When asked if The Fantastic Four will have some of the “found-footage feel” of Chronicle, Watts said “it can’t not have that feel” given Trank worked on both.
“That's his talent, that's what he does, and that's what excites him about it,” explained the executive. “It is a really interesting young cast, and he is the magnet that's brought them all together.”
Yeah... it's Chronicle 2 with Fantastic Four names.

"Room to adapt and play" is why Ledger's Joker sucked so hard. That, and the "nitty-gritty nature of comic book movies." *sigh*
Edit: It almost looks like F4 will be the next Dark Knight, just without the critical acclaim.

I think this new Fantastic Four reboot is going to make Nolan's Bat-films look brilliant by comparison. They're shaping up to be extremely bad, potentially "genre killing" films.

I don't understand the idea of comic book movies needing to be nitty and gritty. Comics have aliens that gain powers from a different sun, evil clones, stretchy people, and giant planet-eating monsters. You can't really ground those things in reality.

I don't necessarily see how nitty and gritty converts to reality, but whatever, lol. I'm not arguing that those films aren't taking a more realistic approach, but they do that in the non nitty and gritty ones too. In fact, every marvel film just about, if not literally every one, is based more so on the ultimate universe, which is meant to be the realistic version. It's not only the nitty and gritty films, lol.

Going into the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Sony seemed to be extremely confident about their Marvel Comics future. In fact, they were so confident that they bared their ambitions possibly a little too much by announcing two more Amazing Spider Man sequels, as well as Venom and Sinister Six spin-off films in the near future. However, once The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was released to a less than amazing film market, Sony's plans started to change rather quickly. First, there was word that The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was being moved back in favor of Sinister Six. Now, someone out there thinks that the future of the Sinister Six is finished before it even started.
That someone, unsurprisingly, is Umberto Gonzalez (aka "El Mayimbe") of Latino Review fame. Just when you thought Sony was safe, Mr. Gonzalez tweeted the following out to the world this morning, with little to no explanation:
RIP SINISTER SIX
— Umberto Gonzalez (@elmayimbe) July 19, 2014
That's a pretty bold statement. So what does Mr. Gonzalez have to back up his egregious claim that the Sinister Six are going to be covered in cobwebs? Nothing yet. Absolutely nothing else on his recent Twitter feed refers to the project, nor does he address the multitude of followers asking for further information. The tweet went out, the mic was dropped, and that's all he wrote.
But then, you look at the behavior of the Marvel Universe outside of the Marvel Studios nucleus. After all, Michael B. Jordan was recently reported as saying that The Fantastic Four is being changed "on the fly," and even Marvel Sony collaborator Alex Kurtzman seems to be vague about just what's going on in the post Amazing Spider-Man 2 world of Sony. There's a lot of troubling things that seem to be brewing at the two houses that are pitting Marvel franchises against their own family, and it's fair to say that the climate is an uncertain one.
Marvel Studios has been as busy as Marvel Comics has been with shaping its universe. With this strong example acting in the market, Marvel Sony and Marvel Fox seem to be lagging way behind by comparison, and without a strong game plan. Could Umberto Gonzalez's tweet be a sign of things to come? It's even money at this point. While his tweet wasn't a stone cold lock of the century, it is a sign that even industry reporters are starting to wonder just how the outer rings of the Marvel Universe are going to cope with the devastating competition that Marvel Studios is waging against opposing forces from outside (such as DC Comics) and within.
Here's hoping we still get that sweet sounding Sinister Six movie, which is currently unscheduled for release.
