For those of us hoping that Marvel's Inhumans would wash the terrible taste of Iron Fist out of our mouths, it worked. Unfortunately, according to early reports, it was like washing the taste of rotten spaghetti out with excrement.
For the uninitiated (I'm a huge comic fan myself and I know almost nothing about them) "Marvel's Inhumans" is about an interstellar royal family who roll deep and...uh, reign over things. There's Black Bolt, the king of the Inhumans, who basically can't speak because his voice at regular volume can shatter mountains (not the most exciting onscreen presence), his wife, Medusa, who can beat people up with her hair (Think Rapunzel, if she could use her hair to kick ass), Lockjaw, a giant, teleporting dog and some other members of the royal family with equally outlandish powers. After a military coup, they come to earth, where they get involved in hijinks and the kinds of silly misunderstandings and mix-ups that only aliens on a first time visit to earth can get into.
Still with me?
Screened in IMAX theaters for its first episode, apparently the big speakers, screen and crisp visuals only allowed the show to suck on a much larger stage. How bad is it? This series is currently sitting at 0% on Rottentomatoes.com. Ouch.
To give you some context, even Battlefield Earth managed 3%
Critics complained (lambasted, torched, hated, pick your verb) about the wardrobe, CGI, plot, dialogue, casting and sound. Even the SOUND got ripped. Yeesh.
Check out the third terrible trailer below and watch at your own risk on ABC.
