Marvel's worst, vs Fox's worst vs Sony's worst. Rank them and list why.
 
Inhumans is a TV show, its not really comparable to a full length film.

The worse is Gr2.
 
I didn't watch Fan4stic, but Inhumans is better than Ghost Rider Spirits of Vengeance. That being said, I've only see 1/4 of Inhumans because they haven't aired the remaining six hours yet.
 
Only one I'll have ever watched of the three is Fan4stic. And it's not Fox's worst. There is another... and her name is Elektra.

But I skipped Ghost Rider 2 and will skip Inhumans. I suppose Inhumans has less of a mark against it, since it really rests on Marvel Television and Ike Perlmutter's shoulders more than the MCU and Feige. But casual fans might get that distinction, and it probably was quite bad for Marvel's brand. Luckily for Feige, at least his next two movies look like major crowd pleasers that will be just in the nick of time.

Punisher also looks great and the leaked Infinity War trailer was also pretty good. It's really the next four.

GR2 has some actual artistic integrity and a few great flourishes of imagination. How the Rider is portrayed as an actual horror movie character is cool. The way he moves and looks. You can see the film makers and Cage actually put some thought into it.

Fant4stic is just a cynical cash grab POS. The contempt for fans is almost tangible. And it's just soooo booooring.
 
I agree. Elektra is a stupid story with 2 dimensional butchered characters, but it's at least competently shot. the photography is well done. And as bad as GR 2 was, it had Idriss Elba and a much better GR than in the first movie. I'm still struggling to find a positive point in Fant4stic. It's just plain bad. but it's also completely boring. It's not a so bad it's good movie, it's just a mess that will make 1 hour and 30 minutes of your life looks like a year.
 
I havent seen Inhumans but I refuse to compare the tv shows with films. Different standards and expectations.

F4stic stands as an absolute abomination over the other films because its a reboot. That means they had a chance to rectify the things they got wrong withthe first two films. They took a cheaper approach and they went in a direction completely wrong for FF. More importantly this film was released in the absolute peak era of comic book films. One thing to be a bad incoherent film with a poor vision but to not even give a **** like its 2005 again? No excuse for that

I actually like Fant4stic alot more than most superhero flicks. For me it was parts of a Stephen King flick blended with a Cronenberg movie and though it was flawed, I totally enjoyed it.
I'd say Fox's worst is The Wolverine. Outside of the fight choreography and the soundtrack there was literally nothing enjoyable about that boring piece of crap. I know that I was very impressed that it managed to make me appreciate X-Men: Origins, which I thought was impossible to do.

For me, Marvel's worst is tied between Spider-Man: Homecoming and GotG vol. 1. Inhumans may have look half-assed and uninspired but for me it wasn't nearly as corny, cheesy, bland or dull as the other 2. So I'll take Inhumans over those any day of the week. Inhumans actually has characters that I find interesting.

Also, I'd rather watch Ghost Rider 2 and be entertained as hell than watch any one of Raimi's crying-Man trilogy.

But that's me.
 
^ i strongly disagree with all your opinions and although I respect your right to freely express yourself, I have to ask if you are being serious or if you are trolling. It's hard to tell over the Internet. If you are serious, I apologize. If you are being sarcastic that was an effective troll. Kinda obvious but I admit I fell for it

hahaha! I always say what I mean unless I'm joking but I don't think sarcasm is funny unless its spoken/executed by British people. I think sarcasm is a waste of time for the most part, especially when written.
No need to apologize. You don't agree, fair enough. We can leave it at that.

It makes me laugh that you think an unpopular opinion is an obvious attempt at trolling doh. So thanks for the giggles.
 
"Crying-Man" trilogy got me, lord. Maguire is the queen of ugly crying.

You ever see something that makes you cringe so hard that you end up sharting your pants a little bit?...That was my experience watching Maguire's face on screen as a child.

He's totally the worst actor to ever play the character in my eyes but I mostly blame Raimi for that. He just absolutely butchered the characters for me with JJJ. being the one exception.
 
Ummmm honestly my call is....

1) Ghost Rider 2, there is some total crap in it, but I love some no-holds barred Nic Cage craziness. This is the best of the 3. I actually liked this film.

2) Inhumans, well I didn't think it was that bad after all - not great but not terrible.

3) Fantastic4, yeah, the first 10 minutes had some promise but it turned to **** after that really quickly, plus another dreadful version of Dr Doom.
 
Now that I've seen the first couple episodes of Inhumans, I can say, without question, Fant4stic is the worst.

Inhumans is dull and uninspired, but it along with Ghost Rider and Elektra have something FF is missing - actual stories.

Fant4stic is a directionless, incomprehensible mess. What is Doom's motivation? What is the whole point of what he is doing? What is the story? What is the primary conflict?

... and how does it actually end? What do the FF even do to 'defeat' Doom in the end? Did they defeat him? What happened?

The minimum thing any film needs is a story. Fant4stic has none.

It pretends to have a story by imitating elements of other films, but if you step back and look at it, there's nothing there.

Is it fair to compare Inhumans to actual movies?

MCU's worst IMO would be Thor's franchise which is far better than Fan4stic or Ghost Rider 2.

Personally, I think it's totally fair to compare it to MCU movies.
But to compare it to the likes of Fant4stic and GR2, maybe not so much.

However, the Thor franchise is my favorite next to Avengers.
 
I wouldn't include Inhumans, the same way I wouldn't include Clone Wars as a movie.
 
Fox's worst is probably Elektra. BY FAR! FAR! FAAAAAAAR!
Not that far...

Elektra was bad, the story was bad but at least you could still identify the character as Elektra. With Fan4stic's characters I can not (well not in those trailers anyway).

You can also view Elektra, DD, X3, Origins and the first two F4 films and fault the producers of Fan4stic for still not knowing better.
