From director Josh Trank and screenplay of Jeremy Slater and Simon Kinberg & Josh Trank, based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby 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.

Although this cast is full of young lead actors, the most interest part of this film was the way how was developed each character evolution with great brotherhood for some characters especially when they were younger. I really enjoyed a tale of superhero beginnings with a very long predictable opening sequence. As boys growing up on Long Island, Reed and Ben are good buddies and the way the support each other. This film is very familiar, full of good visual effects and reasonably and easily watchable in the world of comic-book movies.

The Diary of a Teenage Girl is a fascinating film you can see it again and again

Like most teenage girls, Minnie Goetze (Bel Powley) is longing for love, acceptance and a sense of purpose in the world. Minnie begins a complex love affair with her mother’s (Kristen Wiig) boyfriend, “the handsomest man in the world,” Monroe Rutherford (Alexander Skarsgård). What follows is a sharp, funny and provocative account of one girl’s sexual and artistic awakening, without judgment.

The Diary of a Teenage Girl is based on Phoebe Gloeckner’s novel of the same name, hailed by Salon as “one of the most brutally honest, shocking, tender and beautiful portrayals of growing up female in America.” Although is related to a confused young woman, during 1 hr. 42 min. the spectator will enjoy many magnificent scenes from the sunshine of ’70s San Francisco. Minnie is the perfect combination of immaturity and youth full of emotions, sex and drugs so her womanhood might be inspirational or educational and parents might have a big responsibility to show the consequences of bad behavior of their children.

It is a complex film which reflects creativity of some animated images of Aline Kominsky-Crumb’s comics. This teenage girl is the only victim of a delusional mindset, little attention to her physical and psychological needs. Definitely is a film you can have a good learning and somehow create awareness that our teenagers should have the right path in life to have a happy life without having to face the misfortune that may cause the misuse of drugs or unbridled sexual life.
