And here are the five most disappointing films of the year: Fantastic Four (choppy and
compromised superhero action), Sisters (corny comedy that's simply not smart enough), Southpaw (bogs down in boxing drama cliches), Pan (childish and manic kids» adventure), Black Mass (oddly unoriginal mob thriller).
Those films not only gave us great
action and original, relatable protagonists, they did so while maintaining an invigorating anarchic streak that allowed them to affectionately mock the homogenised, mythology - obsessed modern
superhero genre without completely
compromising their broader commercial prospects.
