The year 2015 is certainly looking to be an awesome year for comic geeks. From the highly successful Avengers: Age of Ultron to what I think is going to be a smash hit in Ant-Man, they have been offered some huge blockbusters. Which is probably why I keep forgetting about Fantastic Four (Fant4stic, yuk), which is silly because it’s been mired in so much fanboy controversy …
After watching the trailer for Jerry Jamerson’s Captive I was reminded of how each year on 18 June the team at Themovies.co.za are also held against our will as Kervyn celebrates his birthday by showing us slides of all the haircuts he’s had over his many many many many years.

I’ll be the first person to admit that the end result of his last cosmic flick, Prometheus, was pretty much a cluster-fudge of incredibly stupid moments in sci-fi. That being said however, Scott still directed a film that looked beautifully stupid. Technically, it was a fantastic piece of cinema. …
To borrow a popular bit of Internet jargon: Inb4 you tell me this is the same trailer we saw a few weeks ago.

And …
Oh those trailer people! Just like Batman V Superman, it looks like the new trailer for Fantastic Four was leaked ahead of schedule. So what’s a fan of cosmic radiation supposed to do? Well go ahead and release the official trailer and do some damage control, that’s what! So here’s the new trailer in all its glory, which may have …
Many so-called hardcore fans of Fantastic Four were quite upset over the casting for director Josh Trank’s upcoming reboot. Most of their aversion though had more to do with start Michael B. Jordan’s skin pigmentation than anything else. But why did Trank cast a black actor to play Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch, a traditionally white character? Well, because …
To say that Fantastic Four has had a rocky development process so far, would be an understatement. Controversy, fans getting whipped into a frenzy over casting decisions and rumours that parent company FOX wanted to bury the flick were running rampant. But through it all, Fantastic Four has also had a level of secrecy that is usually reserved for KFC …
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
