The onslaught of comic book heroes continues with this origin story about a quartet of unusual characters. As such, it takes almost an hour before any transformations occur and by then, the audience is asleep. The writing is flat, the action (what little there is) is dull and the cool demonstration of their powers is in short supply. Despite the charisma of the talented cast (Miles Teller, Jamie Bell, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara), they’re given nothing to work with. Even the effects (the basic currency of any super hero flick) range from dumb to just OK. This has to be the worst of the genre so far.
