I'm in two minds about something at the moment, the Prince Charles Cinema in London is showing The Punisher with a Q&A with the director (she sounds like a bad ass too being a former point fighting & karate champion as well as being a director) for £7.50 (so it's far from breaking the bank) later today. I've seen it before with only a lukewarm thoughts about it as well as no one wants to go with me so I'm not sure it's worth the effort but at the same time it's likely to be an one-off with it never happening again and I know would enjoy the experience...
I saw Ant-Man earlier this week which I thought was a more mid-tier MCU movie.
On a larger note, I finally got around to watching Daredevil. Oh my god! Is this show great or what! The fact that this is confirmed in the MCU, it just shows that Marvel should take the more Mature approach to their properties, more often! It has also had some of the best action scenes I have ever seen on TV or in a movie!
So the Fantastic Four is getting bad reviews, currently 17% at Rotten Tomatoes, which I'm glad about.
I always felt the originals were getting bad rep for no reason, not that they were amazing or anything, but they were pretty nice and the cast was great, especially The Thing.
Re-telling of origin stories in the movies is always painful and disappointing. I didn't particularly like that with Batman, definitely not with the stupid reboot of Spiderman, and now this. Boring.
Hopefully they'll give up on it now and let it revert back to Marvel Studios. Of course, it could still end up making a ton of money, but let's hope not.

Everyone loves watching a train wreak lol
People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...
Fantastic Four is now at 10% on Rotten Tomatoes....lol. I hope it fails miserably at the box office so Fox can make a deal with Marvel to get them into the MCU.
I feel bad for the cast of the film, though. Such a waste of talent.
Writing was on the wall I guess with extensive reshoots, Josh Trank being mostly absent in post-production, awkward canned interviews from the cast and crew, and embargo lasting until the day before release.
Reviewers seem to indicate that it's about an hour of clunky, joyless exposition to set up a messy, unsatisfying climax. What a waste of talent, indeed.
As for the Deadpool trailer, I had the same problem with it that I do with all Deadpool material. It tries way too hard to be funny. The "topographical map of Utah" zinger was gold though, lol.
@NintendoFan990: Rumors are going around that not only did Fox rush this movie out just to hold onto the rights, but also that Marvel Studios has paid critics for the bad scores. The latter I find ridiculous. There are just way too many critics especially when it is getting reviews this bad. The movie is just plain bad! The director himself said that Fox sabotaged his efforts of creating a different and better movie but they wanted this not so fantastic vision. The thing that shocks me the most of all of this, is that this movie is somehow getting worse reviews than the originals and the first two Fantastic Four movies were complete garbage!
OT of the Fantastic Four:
I honestly wonder if Fox will keep the Fantastic Fours movie rights. Hopefully they'll make a deal with Marvel Studios and trade the Fantastic Fours movie rights for the X-Men TV rights and maybe some other stuff.
