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.
If you’re looking for a movie where your date curls up against you to try and hide from the film, skip horror movies and see this! Then enjoy 100 minutes of cringing.
Holy cow, this was painful to watch but irresistible- and much better than the last Paul Rudd A24 movie I saw.
Today’s poster was easy to the point of plagiarism (“let’s copy the look of one poster with images from the real one”) but too perfect to deny.
It turns out Marvel can still make fun movies with Captain America characters (as long as they aren’t actually Captain America). Let’s see if they can get two in a row with Fantastic Four.
Today’s poster was an excuse to try out a Photoshop trick I saw in a Youtube tutorial.
I see most superhero movies because I’m a sucker for them. It doesn’t matter how much nonsense they have; my brain goes into low-power mode and I accept it all.
But I something about the first two Venom movies made me skip them. After watching this one, I can say that was probably a pretty good idea. My brain just couldn’t downshift enough for this thing. It clearly wasn’t expecting to be taken seriously- Venom is constantly making jokes that would make your dad say “that’s a little corny, don’t you think?” – but the movie is so determined to use as many stale and dumb tropes that it forgets to find new dumb trope to keep people interested.
But as far as I know, it contains the first use ever of Chekov’s Hyperacid. I guess that’s something.
