Here’s a simple question for you: would you rather have been the group behind the movie Fantastic Four or the one behind Ex Machina?
Sure, the superhero genre is much like the Human Torch -- on fire -- and Fantastic Four had the kind of hype usually reserved for WWE matches in the months leading up to its release, but the end product was a huge disappointment. And by huge disappointment, I mean Greg Oden, Sam Bowie and Michael Olowokandi all think it was extremely overhyped. On the flip side, there’s Ex Machina, the Muggsy Bogues of films, a small budget flick that was released with minimal fanfare and even fewer expectations, but that finished as both a critical and financial success.
