There was once a time, long before LRF really started its own Marvel Universe, that writer Jack Ryder penned a few films set within the Disney Marvel Cinematic Universe. The first of those efforts was a film centering around the Inhumans, and featuring the cast of the network television series of the same name. Ryder's series quickly fell by the way side when the studio began its own Marvel Universe to compete with Disney's franchise.
Inhumans tells a highly convoluted story with too many characters and too many locations. I didn't care much for the film when it was released as it felt like an extension of a bad TV show (which it was) and didn't appear to add anything other than a bigger scale/budget and a few big names slumming it around a bunch of network television level actors. Eighteen seasons later, and I still don't think the film works. The biggest fault is in tying the film to a show that was already a failure on every possible level. Maybe if the filmmakers had gone with a new adaptation of the comic series it could have worked out, but Guillermo del Toro and Jack Ryder set the odds against themselves.
