Really, a hundred blessings to the previous series. Really, the worst movie I could see and the worst comic book movie that could be made!!!
Let me put your mind at ease: its only strong point is the presence of Michael B. Jordan, who is not faithful to the comic at all (in terms of appearance).
All the others are rubbish. It's evil...the actor...the script...the special effects and... you can't even look at the poster!

Worst current Marvel movie I've ever seen.
The most boring experience I've had since 2001.

It's amazing how bad they managed to make this movie. It took legitimate talent to make it this boring. There are no redeeming parts of this movie. Unless you have insomnia, it might be able to help that.

So boring which kinda disappoints me since I was looking forward to this movie since the film takes inspiration from The Ultimate comics.

Lo más curioso de esta película es que empieza muy bien, presenta guay a los personajes, hace que tengan química, pero después del accidente, es literalmente una catástrofe.

Se lían demasiado, una acumulación de absurdeces, CGI pochísimo y decisiones mal tomadas todo el rato.
Por lo visto tuvieron problemas entre director y productora, y se nota hasta la saciedad, demasiadas cosas fuera de plató.

· Cosas buenas: el arranque, sinceramente es bastante prometedor, hace que tengan química entre los personajes y que mole bastante, una pena que luego arruinen todo.
· Cosas malas: Doom es literalmente terrible, la madre que me parió, el guion es horrible, los diálogos más de lo mismo, el final, o en general la segunda mitad de la película es bastante mala, tiene un pésimo planteamiento y la resolución es demasiado rápida.

· Conclusión: se puede digerir, pero es bastante flojera, si te quieres ver algo de los 4 Fantásticos, mírate las anteriores, que por lo menos son más decentillas.

This is easily one of the most incompetent and boring films I have ever seen, period! The action is not only lacking, but when it finally happens, it's horrible! This movie has no excuse to have CGI and green screen that's as horrible as it is. Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park both came out in the early 90s and that CGI is FAR better than the **** in this film! None of the characters are even remotely interesting and there's legit no development at all, you don't even get to see them get used to their powers! There's no conflict between them and the villain until the very end. If you never got to see this movie, GOOD! Expand

I’m usually not a fan of mcu movies but this one is really horrible there isn’t anything to keep, characters are horrible, vilains is horrible, special effects are just...meh, but I think the worst thing is the plot (if it even exist).

It fine to make changes to the characters if they are for the better, unique, interesting, or entertaining. Unfortunately, FF doesn't do that.If DC made a Marvel movie.

Unfortunately, FF doesn't do that. The story plots along but it doesn't really know where it is going. Dr. Doom is a complete waste. Perhaps the most fundamental error is that it is boring. It's a popcorn flick that fails to be entertaining. Expand

No. Do not waste your time or money by watching this sad excuse of a movie. Nothing works here and it is not even remotely enjoyable for all of its faults. The 1994 film adaptation, while also terrible, is at least a whole lot more entertaining.

Outright Abysmal
Fant4stic had a very ambitious vision of a dark, gritty, and realistic Fantastic Four, But the studio completely destroyed Trank’s vision and his career.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fant4stic (2015), directed by Josh Trank, is one of the superhero movie remakes which are always concerned to have better special effects than the previous versions of them but this movie turned out to be much different than other remakes. It’s so BAD! Almost everything in here sucks! The acting was also one of the problems that turned Fant4stic into a…Fantastic Four parody starring Miles Teller as Reed Richards, Kate Mara as Sue Storm, Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm, Michael B. Jordan as Human Torch? I mean that character in this movie was nothing like in the comics. Blonde hair, white skin but in here black hair and black skin. You got the wrong cast! Also Victor Von Doom looked like a piece of turd. He was more like a parody character and spoke like a character in a parody. Everything he did was funny. His hood and cape made him a bigger turd. He looked completely worse than Dr. Doom in Fant4stic (2005). The plot was a complete **** People didn’t want to spoil plots to others but the thing is this movie doesn’t have anything to spoil! The Fant4stic got their powers, Dr. Doom came and created his new universe and they had to stop them which they succeeded. This plot was almost the worst of the worsts. The screenplay was mostly terrible. They talked like children and teens but they’re adults and the screenplay made them act like their childhood. There were more significant stuffs from the comics that they didn’t take: humor, joy,… I barely laughed at this movie, like there’s nothing funny at all. I only laughed at the terrible CGI they had done. The visual effects was thought to be the best of the movie but then it was opposite. It was also one of the worsts about this movie. The background’s okay but the CGI was quite cheesy. I mean look what they had done to Reed’s arm when he stretched it. It looked so bad (as bad as a movie from the 90s trying to use CGI that wasn’t invented yet like The Mummy Returns (the Scorpion King looked like something we wanted to laugh at, not to fear)). Even though thi movie was owned by FOX, nothing could be done greatly. I really wanted to like the movie, but there was nothing to like, nothing to be impressed. We are talking about superheroes, not science projects and this movie, it took most of the minutes about science projects here and science projects there. There’s too much. The superheroes time was so short like only half an hour when Doom came back and the Fant4stic tried to stop him. It was a terrible idea to add too much of science in this movie but anyway, it was already bad. This is one Marvel movie nobody wanted to see. Expand

Pourtant mis entre les mains d’un réalisateur talentueux Josh Trank est âgé de 24 ans (trop jeune et casser dans ce milieu) son premier film était Chronicles qui était pour moi un excellent film. Avec les 4 Fantastiques, il y a un bon fond, mais c'est complètement décousu. On ressent le travail dans certaines scènes et pour d'autres je dirais que c'est un gros colmatage à Le « Fox ». Pour moi la Fox ne voulait pas perdre les droits et vu que le prochain X-Men est prévu en 2016 il leur aurait resté moins de 1 an pour la postproduction ce qui faisait trop court. Donc ils ont sorti ce film malgré le fait qu'il est un moyen. Car sinon Marvel aurait récupéré la franchise... ‪#‎Dommage‬ Expand

So many wasted opportunities are easily seen withinFantastic Four is one bland origin story with a rushed action sequence near the end of the movie just so that 20th Century Fox can play it safe just in case they were going to get a sequel. So many wasted opportunities are easily seen within a single minute of the movie. The running time for this movie is 100 minutes long and 90% of that running time was used just for the origin stories that we did not need to know about. The characters are very hard to connect with because the plot is just one boring origin story that did not need to go on for roughly 90% of the movie and it doesn't even show them in action until the end.

Which is better(or worse), Fantastic Four or Green Lantern?

I like comic books, but I've never been a fan of the Fantastic Four, that group is not my thing, but I admit that I saw their first two movies and had some enthusiasm to see this reboot.

First came the images of the filming and did not look encouraging, then they released the advances and these did not look interesting, and at the end of everything came the premiere and many already know the story, criticis has shattered this reboot everywhere, calling one of the worst superhero movies to date

With those precedents anyone would avoid going to the movies, after all when half the world says that the movie is bad, one as a spectator expects the worst.
But is it really Fantastic Four the massive failure that everyone says it is? Personally I say not that huge deblacle, it is a very weak, failed, very poorly structured and poorly written movie but I've seen worst.

Despite the great performance of Reg E. Cathey and the 20-minutes of the relationship between Reed Richards and Ben Grimm as young kids, which is kind of interesting, This is a fine example why Josh Trank will never work on superhero movies ever again, all thanks to its predictably rushed plot, not showing the superheroes to learn about their powers, no real relationship between the Fantastic Four, poorly-developed characters, horrible visual effects, terrible casting and acting performances (besides Reg E. Cathey), unpleasant tone, lack of humour, some of its action scenes that lasts for over 6 minutes that are ridiculously dull and weak and its anti-climatic third act. Everybody should stay away from this movie. If you're a Marvel fan, maybe you can only rent it for one day. I think that the 2005 version of Fantastic Four and its sequel are better if you ask me. I gave it a 2 out of 10. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If your looking for a film with action, and about super heroes then this isnt for you, if you are looking for people talking in dark rooms for most the film and being broody and not smiling then this is for you, this film got it all wrong, even the colourful cheesy campy films before it are more of a pleasure to watch, at least their closer to the comic, and fun! please dont waste your time, I didnt belive it when others said it was terrible, I thourght it would have something good about it, my god was I wrong, even the director after a year commented that it was not what he wanted it to be.
the film tried to be more dark, and gritty, and realistic, but it just ended up being a depressed film that took too long to get to the heroes whom arnt even heroes just stupid high IQ teens who want to be famous and cause the problems they created, and none of this was fun, the only action comes at the end of the film and its a stupid beam in the sky, with an uninteresting fight, the only thing this film is good for is to educate about bad script, dialog, acting, pacing, how to screw up a franchise etc blah blah, so if you are a writer watch it and learn what not to do.

I understand it was trying to go for a darker feel. Sorta like the dark knight trilogy or man of steel but it really does not work for this type of film. The dark and broodingness of this film only works for so long that after awhile it becomes redundant. I don't know whos idea it was to have the actors play a bunch of emotionless scientists but mo one seemed like they were trying. Take queen amadals's acting from the pequals and multiply it by the entire cast and oh while your at it make the whole film really brooding and emotionless. THat's fan4stic if you have not already seen it. Other problems that plaged this movie was the movies pacing and charcter develpment was really lacking. I found it super weird that they were using many phrases that the fantastic four uses as punch lines which was really weird. If i had to find something positive to say about this movie it is that this movie is bearable all the way until reed Richards reaches the Baxter building. That is where it all falls apart. Oh they got Dr.doom completely wrong too. I don't know who ever thought this abomination of movie would be a great idea. Guys stay away from this movie at all possible costs. Expand

The result is a movie that's not worth your time or your money. I feel a bit of sadness towards Reeds Richards and the other members of the fantastic four who, after three movies still didn't get their proper movie adaptation. Expand

Fantastic Four (2015) is devoid of the cracking dialogue, humour and sense of fun that often characterizes Marvel films. It also has a poor villain, outdated special effects and a scattershot plot.

Because that's how Fantastic Four truly is a broken piece of needle that tries to hatch an egg and then destroys its shell for itself. This movie is s**t. Everything that the movie studio hopefully promised to bring a dark and unheard of gritty Fantastic Four us comic book freaks wanted is s**t. I felt very bad for director Josh Trank because he's done a prètty nice job on not only introducing him to "Chronicle," but i think it was the right thing that he openly made a twitter rant saying "it was a piece of s**t." Well done, Josh. You're a great director no matter how those dimwits at Fox always likes to piss people off and saying "this movie should've been a lot better if it weren't for me or the ones that already interfered my vision. Way to burden the series. Fox." I kinda rented it on DVD and it was awful. Everything except the casting of the movie. Maybe Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller, Kate Mara, and the underrated actor who played Billy Elliot, should have their own superbero movies in the future. The acting was underwhelming, the story is so bad even DC's Batman VS. Superman couldn't even decide who wins in a pie-eating contest, the CGI effects are chringeworhy to watch. And seeing that it is a Marvel reboot (allegedly), I think the better Marvel reboot simply awarded by 2008's The Incredible Hulk is just by saying: it's time for a change, guys. We have some fun moments and we screwed up for the fans. Looks like I'll hang my suit, make a decision, and hand the Fantastic Four's rights back over to Disney. " And as an avid longtime comic nèrd, it needs to make a change right now. So if you desperately want a Fantastic Four sequel, than I suggest you make a deal and see what Disney is adding to their deck of cards by dressing up as Spider-Man or still haunted by Rupert Murdoch's house of horrors. Just give it up, Fox. Expand

How could they do this?? I could give this a 0 but the reason why i gave it a 2 is because the first 30 minutes was all right and they used The Thing's iconic catchphrase. I don't blame the director because it was fox that messed up the movie, not him. If he had FULL control of this movie then we would of had a great Fantastic Four movie but nooooo, Fox just had to **** it up! Expand

The story is bad, script is bad, trying to develop every single character failed and the cast choices was not good, making a group of 4 teenagers with amazing powers named the Fantastic Four was not a great idea.

I'm giving this movie a 2 because the Special Effects was very good(not every single special effects), but everything else is a completely mess.

Not like 2005 FF awful but Batman and Robin awful. Other than the performances of the main cast being Miles Tellar, Michael B Jordan, Jamie Bell, Kate Mara and Tobey Kebbell, there is literally nothing redeemable about this film. The special effects are terrible, the script is garbage, the direction and pacing of the film itself is half-assed, poorly made, dull and rushed cinematic defecation. The plot is filled with holes and goofs, the direction of the characters is poor as are their motivations. Doom is again poorly equalized, he starts out the film as it seems to be a genius who started the project but for reasons not explained left and became a shut in. Do not waste your time here, this movie was awful. It felt as if the whole movie was rushed which made it not feel at all like a fantastic Four movie and more like a Sci-Fi flick. The 3rd act of the movie is where it gets really bad as the movie basically goes from 0 to 60 rushing past everything that was important , the final fight was short and barely entertaining, like you could blink and its over. After watching this movie, you can see why Trank had a nervous and psychological breakdown during production and now refuses to ever do a comic book movie again. Expand

I liked the first part of the movie and when they first got their powers, but then after that, it went to crap. I seriously thought the story was brutally rushed and it made me a little bored.
I loved the characters. I love Michael B. Jordan as the new Human Torch. But the movie and everything else kind of sucked. The quality of the film was...Just, not good. The CGI was just awful.
They ruined my favourite SUPER HERO TEAM of all time!

However, the big problem is the story makes no sense and the alchemy between the characters, let alone the actors, feels wrong. I felt the story made no sense because the character are shifting continuously from one type to another without sensible explanation. At some point they serve the military like obedient puppets then suddenly have a change of heart and decide to grow up. The character of Victor Von Doom does not make much more sense either. As for the story, the big point is clearly the establishment of a new franchise (which seems to be the exclusive selling point of any reboot these days) by declaring the name of their new group of buddies is "fantastic 4". Oh, shall I mention there is absolutely zero form of humour in this movie ? It is all just doom, gloom and superpowers, no lightheartedness. For me this kind of production goes straight on the shelf of failed reboots, as if a reboot could be anything but a failure in its core... Expand

Ben Grimm and Reed Richards (played as children by Evan Hannemann and Owen Judge, later by Jamie Bell and Miles Teller) don’t mention that fact, because if they did the cinematic universe would collapse on itself and all light would be extinguished from the cosmos. Also, the thoughtful people at Fox probably don’t want to remind anyone of those earlier movies.

Some of us have long memories, though, and can summon the bad cinema of the mid-aughts with furious clarity. Looking back on those days, I remember — Jessica Alba. O.K., forget it. I’ll just go ahead and reboot my 2005 review of the first “Fantastic Four” origin story, which I said was “fantastic only in its commitment to mediocrity.” That’s still true, though a decade later it’s true in different ways. Are you offended that I’m recycling material? Sorry, but I’m as susceptible to the influence of movies as anyone else.

This “Fantastic Four,” directed by Josh Trank from a script he wrote with Simon Kinberg and Jeremy Slater, feels less like a tale of superhero beginnings than like a very long precredit opening sequence. As boys growing up on Long Island, Reed and Ben are brains-and-brawn science-fair buddies.

Reed is working on a teleporting machine that attracts the attention of Franklin Storm (Reg E. Cathey), who runs some kind of boarding school/research center in Manhattan. There, Reed meets the Storm kids, Sue the scientist (Kate Mara) and Johnny the hot-rodder (Michael B. Jordan), and also a brooding intellectual named Victor von Doom (Toby Kebbell).

Much later, after they have traveled to a parallel dimension where a planet full of energy (please just fill in whatever exposition you feel will get you to the next part of this sentence), Victor will face down his erstwhile classmates and say: “There is no more Victor. There is only DOOM!” There is nothing wrong with that kind of line — he’s a newly fledged ultravillain in a comic-book movie, after all — but it needs to be earned, with gravity or wit. The best superhero entertainments have both.

“Fantastic Four,” despite the dogged efforts of its talented young cast, has nothing. The special effects are at about the level of the early “Harry Potter” movies — lots of glowing green clouds and ice-blue bolts and force fields. The human drama is meager. Once again, the only real pathos belongs to Mr. Bell’s Ben, who finds himself trapped in a stony new body and weaponized by a ruthless government. Mr. Teller stretches, not as an actor but as a digitally enhanced body. Mr. Jordan burns in the same way, and Ms. Mara disappears. Her character also has the power to make other things vanish. I would say she should have exercised it on this movie, but in a week or two that should take care of itself.

What's worse is that unlike the reboot of Spider-Man (which had a very successful original trilogy run), this reboot fails to learn any lessons taught by the two absolute **** films which were released less than 10 years prior.

With a running time of only 100 minutes, to explain the origin stories of FIVE main characters, as well as then developing a scenario for the Fant4stic to fight the fifth, it's simply an absolute mess.

The film uses a 'one year later' fade out/in for Christ's sake, because it's that lazy and badly written.
Throw in some terrible directing, bad casting, bad acting, unremittingly patronising dialogue, less than stellar special effects and, worst of all, the most anti-climactic end 'fight' scene ever..... And you've got a Turkey that Ebeneezer Scrooge would be proud of the morning after his ghostly visitations!

It really is that bad. I cannot begin to vent my frustrations at what a huge missed opportunity this could have been, if the lessons from the first two films had been taken on-board.

I suspect their won't be a Fan4stic 2 coming to cinemas anytime soon!

For me this movie was a disaster, too bad it failed as I really did like the casting. I have seen the young talented actors Miles Teller in movies like Whiplash, Jamie Bell in Billy Elliot/Definace, and Michael B. Jordan on the TV series Parenthood. All can act and thought it would be over the top before it came out. Sadly for some reason they just can't bring this comic book and its characters justice. I did somewhat like the original two movies, but they still weren't quite the ticket either and came up short. This last installment with all that talent that they had was truly a huge disappointment. The depth of the script felt shallow and the action wasn't there either. The only depiction I found interesting was with Doctor Doom both in acting and the effects. Actually as bad as it was, I was still hoping with all the talent it would get another go around, but hear that they have already axed the sequel-too bad. Expand

Then the film sets up a sequel ripping off the ending to the new Avengers in the process. While I would love to dismiss this as them just getting the lame origin story out of the way, even origin stories aren’t this dull.

I could tell Miles Teller intentionally didn't try to act after the whole director fiasco and the whole "emotional" scene when they lost Victor was so obviously script-read that it was hilarious. So seeing him not giving a damn about the movie was nice to see (I'll explain that later). The Ben actor (Both adult and kid version; the kid version of Reed was terrible IMO) was actually quite good and the best part of the movie. He actually could create chemistry with the characters (Again, I'll explain later). Michael B. Jordan's line delivery was alright. I have heard complaints about the special effects, but I think they're actually quite good, besides the green rivers on planet Zero, which stood out too much. My favorite scene in the entire movie is when Torch tells off Franklin about being wanting to be good for something (Once again, I'll explain later).

Here come the negatives.... this will take forever. The humor, while witty at times, was so poorly delivered that it was unimpactful; The entire movie is predictable; there is zero chemistry between anyone except for Ben and Reed, which made the movie awkward and bland; there are many plot points left unresolved; the pacing was godawful, either too fast or too slow about through the entire movie; there is even an unintentional grammatical error in the movie said by Doctor Doom, speaking of Doctor Doom, his costume was...laughable, to say the least. I also found an obvious crew member in the beginning in one of the scenes. The Doctor Doom laboratory corridor ravage scene was unnecessarily gory for a superhero movie, and then, mid-scene, the movie realized that and went unrealistic again. Also, there wasn't much character development which lead to relation issues with the audience and the characters.

Now those were only the bad parts of the movie. Here are the parts I HATED about the movie.

-The comic book failures: Doctor Doom was not a weak as he was in the movie, making it so much easier to hate him. Speaking of that...

- The villain himself: He did not explain on why he hated the world for what it is, so I couldn't reason with him. And that was painful for me because I couldn't side with the villain or the protagonists because of...

- Franklin Storm: He was the second worst part of the entire movie. I hated the writer's intention's of his character in the movie. Franklin was treated like a revolutionary hero (and what was left for the braindead audience to think), but I was somewhat relieved at his death. He never guided the F4 to their future as the plot says. And when he made mistakes, he blamed everyone else for them. Oh yeah, and by the middle of the movie, he became no use to the F4 anymore, but still acts like he's a prodigy afterwards. I can't explain it all that well, but I just know that the writer's portrayed his character effortlessly. The actor was horrible as Franklin by the way, which made it that much worse.

- The final battle: Only a conjoined word to describe this abomination of a showdown: Anti-climatic.

- No staff effort: The worst part of the entire movie - The director, screenplay, writer, and Fox are all guilty of not trying. You can tell in the dialogue, script, leading, and screenwriting that nobody cared about this movie. Miles Teller I'll give a pass on because he was already halfway through the movie when he saw the issues that lied ahead for the movie, but the whole staff, aside from the actors, did not put effort into this movie, and I saw the laziness in this cashgrab that it is. That's what I hated most about the movie.

Terrible movie, don't watch, don't waste an hour and a half like I did.

There's an excellent cast here with tons of potential for energy and chemistry. There's a director who has proven himself to be a good filmmaker and storyteller. And there's an exciting concept at the core of this movie: presenting the Fantastic Four's origin like a sci-fi horror film, similar to movies like The Fly. I give one point to a sequence in the film which shows the potential of this original concept. However, everything else in this movie is awful... Fantastic Four reeks of studio control, leaving the film confused as to what it is and what it wants to be. The story is a series of plot points with no coherent way of connecting, the characters are nonexistent, and the film's pacing is awkward, with only one and a half action sequences and no second act. Overall, this is as bad as comic book movies get. A film with such great talent and so much potential squandered by trying to fit a mold of cliche superhero movies. Studios, take notes. Let filmmakers make good movies. Expand

The movie is 1 hour and 40 mins long and it takes the entire first hour for them to even get their powers. Amazingly tedious. The comparison to watching paint dry is unfair to paint, even before Bob Ross became popular again.

Overall it's just a mess of a movie that takes a **** on the fantastic 4 name, as if the previous 2 movies didn't do that properly.

Retells the origin story of these four characters who gain superhuman powers and save the word etc. Throw in seriously messy pacing, cringe worthy dialogue and a giant blue laser and you get this boring, unnecessary film not worth the time or money. On a good note Fantastic Four hasn't claimed the title of worst marvel movie ever but it made it into the top five. Not recommended. Expand

There is no development between the group members because they spend too much time trying to set up this world in a different dimension rather than just tell an origin story. When the Fantastic Four get their powers there is a bit of turmoil among the heroes but it is never resolved. I didn't really feel like this movie was too short at 100 minutes but it just did not make very good use of its time. You can not blame the cast for a disappointing film though because the characters really didn't get enough development so you weren't even sure if the chemistry was good or bad in the group.

The CGI in this film is also so bad. I think that The Thing actually looked better in the previous versions of the Fantastic Four and his voice sounds ridiculous. The CGI that is used when Mr. Fantastic stretches is also just so crude and fake. This dimension that they try to set up is very fake looking as well and you don't buy that this film is a world at all.

Finally Doctor Doom, the famous nemesis of the Fantastic Four is so poorly portrayed in this film in so many way, just like the Thing his voice sounds so lame and he looks so terrible. He looks almost exactly like Robin Williams did in Bicentennial Man. He doesn't even appear in the film until there are only 20 minutes left so needless to say the final battle between good and evil is fairly uneventful.

Sadly Fox has failed again with the Fantastic Four and I'm thinking its just about time to give up. I don't even want Marvel to carry on with these character because their own universe is starting to get crowded and I'm not sure where you could fit them in now. I have a feeling that we will see another Fantastic Four movie despite the critical and commercial flop this movie became.

I honestly tried hard not to be outraged at this disgrace, but it's just too hard for me to keep it down. I don't want to discourage anyone from watching the movie, but it's really not worth spending your money on it. The first 20 minutes II honestly tried hard not to be outraged at this disgrace, but it's just too hard for me to keep it down. I don't want to discourage anyone from watching the movie, but it's really not worth spending your money on it. The first 20 minutes I find interesting and captivating, the cast was good enough to bring us a great movie, especially Victor Von Doom. I can relate to Doom much better than with the old movies and his appearance is also much better as is Ben Grimm's, however the overall gargantuan failure of the script writers and the budget managers is just unbearable.
Apparently they've wasted most they had on the first half of the movie and had to make due with what they had left for the second half, resulting in a horrible ending, and makes it very obvious that there was little thought put into the scenes, especially the last fight scene, not the mention the absence of the traditional end credit scene in almost every Marvel movie. All in all, this was a spit in the face of every Marvel fan, even if you're not a fan of the Fantastic 4. Every script writer is smug when it comes to hearing out ideas from fans, but I guarantee that 1 out of 10 fans, who have some vague idea of script writing would've given a better story for this budget and this cast as for the terrible effects, I have no words.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Fantastic Four is not quite the disaster that every one said it was but it isn't much better than that. The three largest problems are lie in the editing, writing and pacing of the film. Starting with the pacing. The film is about and hour and a half. The first two thirds are all background and the villain is not even introduced until the very end! This is very poor pacing and leaves you confused about the central conflict of the film. When regarding the writing the Storms' father is written in a completely unsympathetic light and when he died I found myself saying "good" when that was clearly never the filmmakers intent. Also it seems that the fantastic four should rename themselves the Fantastic Stockholm Syndrome based on how the writing portrayed their "partnership" with the military. Lastly the editor should have caught Kate Mara's magically changing hair color. It was just bad post production editing or something. A character's hair color should not be the game of whoever is watching the film unless you're watching Harry Potter and the character is Tonks. All those flaws aside the directing is fairly average, Josh Trank reused several shots from his far superior film, Chronicle, and showed none of the creative ability that he exhibited while directing Chronicle but he also didn't show any lack of the basic principles of film making. The thing that was well done was the majority of the cast acted well. Diagnosis: Bad but not unwatchable, but at the same time is it really worth watching? Expand

This movie could have been decent if only FOX would have let Josh Trank make his damn movie instead of cutting out half the damn movie and replacing it with halfass reshoots that were not even directed by Trank or included in the script he wrote, and then locking him out of editing. Seriously FOX what the **** was wrong with you ? It's obvious Trank had a decent movie going for the first act which i assume were scenes he filmed before you re-shot 75% of the movie leading into an almost non-existent 2nd act then straight to a tacked on 3rd act. It's **** how FOX tries to justify their ****ery too, like "His pet dogs trashed a trailer" or "Trank & the cast didn't like each other very much", then there are these baseless claims that Trank would arrive on set Drunk and then proceed to shout obscenities at the cast & crew. Here is what i believe happened, Trank, from the start was not making an average cape movie. His idea was a Science Fiction Thriller in the vein of a Cronenberg Body-Horror film (the way they get their powers are similar to the way Brundlefly happens) that just so happened to include the FF characters and yes that would call for a "dark" tone. then while he was filming or finishing up filming, FOX realized that Fant4stic wasn't gonna be like Marvel's The Avengers so they turned on Trank then the media lead a smear campaign against him, blaming him for a film in theaters that he technically did not do.

I expected so much more seeing how they plan to mesh all Marvel these films together in the future with the release of "Civil War". Lastly, I sat in the theater with my Girlfriend and assured her that there would be additional footage as they always do after their movies.... and we got nothing! Do not waste your time on this one.

The story is completely wrong and Dr. Doom looks like he's wearing the iron mask from Man in Iron Mask and gets so many powers that he wasn't suppose to get. The final "showdown" - if you can call it that- takes in total about 15 minutes and has zero build up. The end of the film is corny and will leave you feeling like there's going to be a sequel, even though that would be the worst possible choice to make. The only thing I would say that is good is the actors chosen for the Fantastic Four- not Dr. Doom, Toby Kebbell seems to ruin every movie he touches, and they played well off of each other, that is when they actually liked each other.
