Rating Summary
Just ridiculous enough to be believable, the inaugural episode of The Franchise is a well-paced and refreshingly restrained satirical take on what it takes to make a special effects heavy superhero film that is only one cog in a multi-billion dollar cinematic universe. It's cast is solid and believable as they skillfully balance between melodrama and farce and the overly dry -everyone's-an-unlikable-douche mockumentaries that have begun to define the genre.
