Unfocused to the core, Capone will leave viewers with more questions than answers.
The 47-year old Al Capone, after 10 years in prison, starts suffering from dementia and comes to be haunted by his violent past.
Away from the hype and the Twitter hubbub and the behind the scenes stories, Fantastic Four is still a very bad movie. Hopefully, it hasn’t put the final nail in the coffin of perspective Fantastic Four adaptations.
Fantastic Four is a film that people wanted to hate from the start. First, there was the controversial casting of Michael B. Jordan as the traditionally white character Johnny Storm; shortly following this was the discovery that Victor Von Doom was a computer hacker instead of a brilliant inventor; finally, there was the casting itself, which involved younger characters just finishing high school, whereas most adaptations of the story present the Fantastic Four as adults.
Superhero movies have evolved into a Super Bowl-sized cinematic event. On the surface, the genre often only depicts the theme of the struggle between the Yin and Yang of a superpower. However, put a mixture of special effects and stirring comic book action on top of it, people will come running to theaters.
