17Elektra (2005)
Jennifer Garner debuted asElektra Natchios in 2003’sDaredevil , and reprize the office in her 2005 solo spinoff , but both films break to capture the hearing ’s imaginativeness . The biggest allow - down forElektrawas the movie ’s script , which play off the nominal sai - maintain antihero against several boring scoundrel working for the Hand . rely on more supernatural factor also did n’t helpElektra , as the movie was begging to be a more ground exploration of Garner ’s costumed character .
Former Marvel Entertainment CEO once advise thatElektra’spoor operation was the reason subsequent female - lead superhero movies were n’t put into product . Whether this statement was true or not is to be disputed , butit seems more likely thatElektra’sfaults were n’t stimulate by hint Jennifer Garner - whose performance actually received extolment - but the flick ’s sloppy direction by Rob Bowman , poor playscript , and dull tale .

16Daredevil (2003)
Ben Affleck’s Daredevil Had Nothing On Charlie Cox’s
The prequel to 2005’sElektrawas only marginally unspoilt than its spinoff . Mark Steven Johnson directed Ben Affleck as the titular Matt Murdock , butthe goofy , early - noughties vibes of 2003’sDaredevildid nothing to manifest the index and impact of the pop vigilante - seed - superhero . It seems more time was taken to makeBen Affleck ’s Daredevilas brooding and mysterious as possible , rather than focusing on the complexness and in - depth details of his psyche and emotional state .
Daredevil’sstoryline was easier to succeed thanElektra ’s , however , and Colin Farrell and the tardy Michael Clarke Duncan ’s performances as Bullseye and Kingpin , severally , were far-famed high pointedness of the movie . Daredevil’saction sequences were sometimes thrilling , but the movie was ultimately a disappointing expression of the titular hero ’s talents . This is especially true when see how magnificent Charlie Cox has been in the theatrical role inNetflix ’s Defenders Sagaand late MCU projection - league ahead of Ben Affleck .

What makesX - Men Origins : Wolverinestronger than the likes ofThe New Mutants , Daredevil , andFantastic Fouris Hugh Jackman himself . Even when face with a sober playscript and ridiculous action mechanism sequences , Jackman ’s dedication to the part of Wolverine is wholly evident , which enhances many here and now inX - Men Origins .

Simon Kinberg ’s late rewrite and reshoots did n’t help things , as the total third routine was reworked with the picture show ’s release date tight approaching .
While the narrative was more understandable and impactful than those featured inX - homo Origins : WolverineandThe New Mutants , Dark Phoenixwas let down in other areas . The picture ’s visual effects were uncompleted at the time of release , which surcharge reference such as Mystique , Nightcrawler , and the D’Bari of getting more impressive makeover .

The movie essay to explore several dissimilar storylines , let in those featuring Jean Grey ’s Dark Phoenix , the mutant therapeutic , and Magneto bringing together the Brotherhood of Mutants . Using so much in the story intend that not one single plot line was develop as it should have been , leaving a plenty to be desired .

Gruffudd , Alba , Evans and Chiklis were even more entertaining the second metre around as Reed Richards , Sue Storm , Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm in 2007’sFantastic Four : Rise of the Silver Surfer . Tim Story ’s sequel was a marked improvement on the original 2005 motion picture , though it was still backpack full of clumsy , juvenile , and uncomfortable element . The introduction ofLaurence Fishburne and Doug Jones ' Silver Surferwas a huge benefit , however , as was the picture ’s improved visual effects and clearer narrative .
Interestingly , Rise of the Silver Surferalmost feels as though it ’s plucked directly from the pages of Marvel Comics . This comes with all the reward of being a fun and vibrant amusing book movie , as well as all the stupidness and ridiculous moment that most other superhero film edit out for live - natural action . regrettably , this ridiculousness was n’t retained forRise of the Silver Surfer’sdepiction oficonic Marvel villain Galactus , who contributed to one of the movie ’s most controversial here and now after being seen to be a simple space cloud .

X-Men: Apocalypse Is Enjoyable (If You’re Not A Fan Of Marvel Comics)
For any die - gruelling fan of Marvel Comics , the depiction ofApocalypse in the eponymousX - Men : Apocalypsewas a immense disservice . However , for those who ’d never listen of Apocalypse prior to Bryan Singer ’s 2016 continuation , the moving picture was in all probability a caboodle more entertaining . Oscar Isaac portrayed a not - at - all - comic - accurate rendering of Apocalypse , but infused his interpretation of the scoundrel with strength , strength , and a sinister shade that worked well . come off the success ofX - gentleman : Days of Future Past , there was a lot of insistence onX - Men : Apocalypse .
X - military man : Apocalypseintroduced several notable 10 - Men character that audiences knew from the original trilogy , but these performances were n’t as captivating as their predecessor . There are moments of head game - bust optic effects issues and the storyline is often cliché and predictable , butX - Men : Apocalypsestill does a right job of drive theX - Menfranchise forward . Once again , however , the few second featuring Hugh Jackman ’s Wolverine were the high points of the pic , which speaks book .
