Where Does the Josh Trank Fantastic Four Movie Rank Against Other Superhero Flicks?

You’ve seen me praise the film in my review.  Jenny liked it as well in her review.  The critics combined score over at Rotten Tomatoes was another story.  But again, I feel they missed the boat on this one.

To illustrate how wrong I think the critics are on this one, I decided to examine exactly where Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four ranked relative to the other DC/Marvel superhero movies in the post-Iron Man and Dark Knight era.

My findings after the jump.

Awesome Cosplay Of The Day: WOLVERINE

Ilya Artemov is called the Russian Wolverine….and there is no doubt in my mind of why he’s claimed that name. Ilya participates in cosplay events and can be found on Facebook for more glorious renditions of this famous character – even a sweet photo shoot of him in the costume from the X-Men movies. Worth the look if you ask me!
