Dr. Doom Is Revealed In An All New Fantastic Four Trailer!

Trailers, trailers, and even more trailers. Man, this has been a hell of a week to be a movie fan! First Antman wowed us with a badass brawl on a toy train. Then Star Wars VII stole our hearts. Shortly after Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice made us get tingly in our naughty bits and now it's the Fantastic Four's chance to show us what they are made out of. Check the second trailer now.

Threes Things that Struck Me:

1. The younger cast kicks ass. Teller, Bell, Mara, and Jordan seem to have so seriously chemistry brewing. Especially liked the missed fist pump.

2. The Thing design is amazing. So much better than when Michael Chikilis painted himself in orange pigeon shit.

3. Dr. Doom's new look has to grow on me. Director Josh Trank has said he sees the Fantastic Four as a body horror film. So once I see how he came to look like that in context, perhaps I will be more into it. Also Toby Kebbell was the best villain in a movie last year (Koba in DOTPOTA) so I expect nothing less from him as F4's greatest foe.

These trailers have me excited. What are your thoughts so far? Who is your favorite member of the F4? Let us know in the comments or tweet at us @Caped_Informers or me @cstrand73. And make sure to tune in for our weekly Arrow, Flash, and Daredevil reviews. Fantastic Four comes out August 2nd.

'Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes' Thoughts/Review!

Last night the Informers got together to watch Matt Reeve's Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. Here's my quick thoughts and review. Mild-spoliers ahead!

What We Liked:

• Andy Serkis' performance as Caesar
• Toby Kebbell's Koba
• HUMAN WORK!
• Ceasar's son blue eyes
• MAURICE!
• Jason Clarke's Malcolm leading the human element
• Great message told through sci-fi
• Incredible special effects
• Post Simian Flu San Fran
• Realistic Ape movement
• Compelling story and character motivations
• Apes on Horses!
• Apes speech and sign language
• The original Planet of the Apes-esque score
• Matt Reeves' direction
• Tension created between Humans and Apes
• Parallels between both Ape and Human leaders
• The final showdown
• The end and where it leaves the Apes
• The chilling opening credits

What We Didn't Like

• The underutilization of Gary Oldman's Dreyfus
• Other humans weren't as compelling as Jason Clarke's Malcolm

          Wow! Just wow. We are huge sci-fi fans here at the Informers and it's great to see another amazing entry in the Planet of the Apes franchise. Andy Serkis and Toby Kebbell's performances are both incredible. Anyone who tells you that motion capture is not real acting is full of shit. These two actors make you feel for their characters and every time they speak you are on the edge of your seat. As for directing, Rupert Wyatt did a great job with Rise, but Matt Reeves tops him with this masterpiece. Reeves is able to create tension and story with characters that can only speak so limitedly. When the apes do speak, they volumes and that's a credit to the way Reeves and the writers set up the story. Jason Clarke was also a great addition as the human Malcolm. His arc was a interesting parallel to Caesar's. Overall I give this movie a 9.5 out of 10. Go see it! This is a summer must! After seeing this I cannot wait to see Toby Kebbell as Doctor Doom in The Fantastic Four. As well as see who Andy Serkis will play in Star War Ep. VII.
