I don't know about you, but so far 2017 has been looking really promising with movie releases. We are almost at the half way point of the year and I just want to make sure you have these films on your radar. I've also planned ahead and have a list of movies you want to see in 2018.
Now remember, all these film release dates are tentative and can be changed or sadly, cancelled at any time. Best way to check if the film is a scheduled as plan, will probably be to "like"its Facebook page or search it up on IMDb.

FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.
20th Century Fox has re-imagined the Fantastic Four Marvel characters in a new film. I am a fan of the 2005 version and its sequel, so I went in believing this would be the case again. I will say I didn't hate it, since hate is such a strong word but did I get blown away, no. Honestly I think that the whole premise just didn't connect with its characters and with us the audience. The movie felt like it was pieced together and the timing was very slow for the majority of the film.
In this Fantastic Four, the famous comic book characters are teenagers/young adults that are recruited to work together and complete a teleport machine. Which they are able to and then discover the machine actually traveled to a planet of unknown origins. The whole beginning and part of the middle of the film revolves around that mainly. This is one of my issues, I feel they focused to long on the pre-teleport building/back story and then the rest was rushed and choppy. So moving on after testing a chimp, they are told NASA will take over the machine and that's when Reed Richards, Johnny Storm and Victor Von Doom decided they are not letting anyone else take the credit over what they build. So they call Reed's old friend Ben Grimm, to join them in using the machine while everyone is asleep, they claim it will only be a few minutes and no one will find out.
This is when the movie begins to finally pick up some pace and elements of what I loved from the 2005 film show themselves. They arrive at this planet and instead of heading back right away, the scientists they are they decided to explore and that's when things go very wrong. The matter from that planet is interrupted that flows on the ground and Victor falls into this green substance and is left behind as the rest of the guys jump back in the machine and Sue Storm helps bring them back but not before they are all affected by this planet in some way, even Sue when the machine arrives back at the lab.
Now begins the next chapter of this movie, time passes and the military have been using Sue, Johnny and Ben as weapons and they need to find Reed, that escaped and has been hiding so they can travel back to the planet they are now calling Zero. Reed wants to find a cure for what happen to them but the military wants to harness the power that planet has. So finally Reed finishes the new machine and they travel back to planet Zero and guess who they run into a year later, Victor. They are shocked that he has survived and then realize Victor is not the same Victor anymore. Victor is now Doom and attacks the base when they bring him back, killing many including Sue and Johnny's dad. They now follow Doom back to planet Zero where he begins to suck our plant into planet Zero's atmosphere, with the plan to kill our planet. And well the Fantastic Four battle Doom until they can defeat him and that's pretty much how it ended, no fanfare, no whistles just 'The End'. It was a very weak ending, which I think they left possibly like that to create more movies.
I want to say go out and see this film this weekend, but I just can't mislead anyone. So my recommendations are wait for it to hit Redbox. I really wanted to be blown away but this film just didn't cut it. I think this is the first Marvel characters movie that I did not enjoy like the rest. We are huge Marvel character fans in my household and my boys were bored by this film also. It's funny to think that we thought Antman was the movie that would fall short and it didn't, we actually enjoyed it very much and this film that I had positive hopes for was the one that actually did not entertain us.
Release Day: May 22nd 2015 in 3D Director: Gil Kenan Writer: David Lindsay-Abaire Main Cast: Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Jared Harris, Jane Adams MPAA Rating: Rated PG-13 for intense frightening sequences, brief suggestive material, and some language Genres: Horror | Thriller Running Time: 93 mins
Legendary filmmaker Sam Raimi (“Spiderman,” “Evil Dead”, “The Grudge”) and director Gil Kenan (“Monster House”) contemporize the classic tale about a family whose suburban home is haunted by evil forces. When the terrifying apparitions escalate their attacks and hold the youngest daughter captive, the family must come together to rescue her before she disappears forever.
Poltergeist (2015) is the latest in the seemingly unending list of remade movies. It appears the Hollywood is all out of ideas for new movies, so it has decided to re-visit many of the classics from decades ago. Watching this latest version of Poltergeist is going to make you wish that the remakes would stop. I always try to say something good about a movie. I am mindful of how much effort it takes to make a film, but there is just not much good to say about this one.
It is a big disappointment given how much I enjoyed the original. The original still scares me. It ruined clowns for me. I can still hear Carol Anne's "They're hear." And this version just isn't akin to the original. It's changed, and not in a good way. You expect that it would be updated. This version has cell phones and drones. Right. No problem there. The problem is that there are other parts of the story that were not updated, but just changed. I didn't think the changes did anything to add to the story. Where was Carol Anne?! Why did they have to change her name? I didn't get it.
Also, the film isn't scary. It's a horror movie. It's supposed to be scary. I have a very low threshold for scary movies. Think big chicken. Well, I didn't jump during the film, not once. Poltergeist (2015) is rated PG-13, so you expect that the the gorie violence is left out. But, more than leaving-out the gorie violence, this film is down right tame. It could be rated PG, except for a few curse words. It is no more scary than a grade school haunted house.
The acting wansnt great. I usually like Sam Rockwell. (Rockwell plays Eric Bowden, the patriarch.) I didn't like him here. He has a scene where he sheds tears. I could hear snickering from the crowd in the theater. One of the snickers may have come from me. None of the other cast members were any better. I found myself laughing when I should have been shaking in my seat.
I wanted to like it. I love the original version. This isn't the original. And it's not as good as any of the new horror films. I watched Poltergeist (2015) in 3D. There is no need to pay the up-charge for 3D. Even the effects was underwhelming. If you think I've been too harsh, please go see it for yourself. Never take my word for it. Just don't say I didn't tell you so. Poltergeist (2015) is in theaters now.
Just released from 20th Century Fox, Constantine Films and Marvel Entertainment comes a new movie poster and the second official trailer of this summer's re-imagining of Marvel's FANT4STIC FOUR.
Great ready to see a new side to your favorite superhero team. You have Miles Teller as Reed Richards a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic, then Kate Mara as Sue Storm a.k.a. The Invisible Woman, the my favorite Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm a.k.a. The Human Torch and last but not least is Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm a.k.a. The Thing.
Below you can see this new scion-adventure trailer for Fantastic Four:
