I’d bet that I would have enjoyed this movie much more if I hadn’t just seen Superman. They take different approaches to the same idea: making classic superhero stories work in a more modern way. I really thought I’d enjoy the FF’s retro-future Earth more than I did, but there’s too much style and not enough substance.

I enjoyed it while I watched, but it isn’t lingering in my head.

Today’s fake poster is based on a different “Superlative and a Number” team.

This doesn’t look nearly as retro as the actual movie.

    @ga2so_2wba65 for some reason all the FF movies never work. It’s weird.

      I think it’s because they’re not really superheroes. They’re a mismatched family of science explorers.
