Not to say there weren't some good things about this movie. 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.… Expand

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

It's only a slightest better (keep reading why), but NOT worse than the utter attempt to show flash Jessica Alba's curves or Chris Evan's pectorals. This is rather your typical teenage + superpowers = outsider recipe. So they're a group of wonderkids working on some NASA project, one of them is a douche, so you know he's going to be the bad guy. At least you know where he's coming from and what interest he will have to fight the team. After some experiment goes haywire and they get their powers is a somewhat still appropriate way (at least we know why they did what they did and how each of them became what they became). Then some government routine ensues (both films compare here, pretty much), and we end up with the big fight. Notice that the way the ending is showcased, you don't get the impression that they're showing you a suave, a fashion model, a nerd and a wrestling champion getting together because shut up. Rather they're still willing to be the team they were, only their vocation now changes.
So in all I'm surprised to see people say this one sucked more than the one from 10 years ago. It seriously didn't. Were the 2005 garbage never produced, it would've probably ended up worse. But at least (the keyword here) they tried. At least.… Expand

I can't say I liked the previous films and not this one. In fact, I kind of enjoyed watching this reboot. It was much better than what I have heard about it. At least it did not sound like a loud and lousy like any modern sci-fi flicks, chasing bad guys, bombing cities and downing buildings. But as a superhero and sci-fi film, it had its moment, only at the end.

Obviously the film was too slow and dramatisation was a backslash keeping the youngsters (audience) in mind. I actually expected hefty stunt sequences. Without actions, a superhero movie is like a limbless spider and toothless shark. If the web and tooth are the superpowers, then they must handle it quite smartly. So that is where this film failed to be a clever. This film had 4 superheroes and until the climax they were impotent. Which means the only superhero movie in the recent time that meant for older people. Precisely to say, if you are a 30+, you might enjoy it as I did. I know I can't talk for you and what kind of movies you like, but I know todays youngsters who refuse dramas and accept action-adventures.

I agree it did not deliver as it should have been as a theatrical feature where surround speakers are ready to give us a breathtaking sound mix. I felt it some kind of a television episode. Because that is how the modern television series are presented. Personally, I would like to say that don't mind my words and the review, because I usually enjoy all the films I watch. So this one was average to me, but definitely not a bad and I won't slam it. Though I recommend it for old people who does not like modern high-octane stunts.

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.… Expand

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.… Expand

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

Where to begin... The movie is, simply put, ab over produced superhero film that is the perfect example for everything that's wrong about superhero movies. Everything starts off strong, but less than 30 minutes in the movie starts fallingWhere to begin... The movie is, simply put, ab over produced superhero film that is the perfect example for everything that's wrong about superhero movies. Everything starts off strong, but less than 30 minutes in the movie starts falling apart. The story is so straight forward from here on out, that it's boring. You get a blunt and boring plot that assumes the audience is mentally challenged, because they explain everything down to the last atom or whatever. And for anyone who isn't a science nerd, that makes for one boring ass movie. Whoever did the trailer did a great job because they picked the best shots, and left out the other 88 minutes of crap.

Mara gave the worst performance of the 4, acting as the "pretty face" for the film. For the bulk of the film she just stands there, not contributing anything to the plot. And then there's poor Jordan, who is equally useless. I have no problems about him being cast as her brother, but I have problems with him being cast period. He proves that he isn't ready for a blockbuster film, as his performance is Razzie worthy. Where Mara's Sue Storm is like a piece of scenery, he is an extra with too many lines. One of the things I enjoy about the comic is the family feel the group gives off. it's a comfortable feeling, and makes their dynamic that much stronger. The film does away with that for a "serious" sci-fi tone that ultimately doesn't pay off. There's absolutely no chemistry between the actors characters, which is a serious problem for this series.

Teller proves that even great actors can only do so much with a really, really **** script. Richards just doesn't seem like the gallant, strong, leader the comics have built him up to be. Overall Teller does a good job with what he's given, but the character still comes off as awkward and just not superhero material. And then there's poor Bell. I don't know what they did to his voice, but it sounds like two rocks are having sex while someone rubs a cheese graters against a chalkboard. In short, it's unpleasant at best.

The technical aspects of the film are fairly weak too. The fight scenes are passable, but they don't deliver anything new or different. It's pretty standard, hero vs villain, hero gets knocked down, hero has a "clever" comeback, and victory! Again, nothing new. Most superhero movies aren't very imaginative when it comes to climaxes, but F4 really takes the crap cake. The whole plot is wrapped up in less than ten minutes, and you're left thinking, "Wait, that was the end?" God I'd love to meet the person who read the final draft of the script and said, "Ya this is great! Definitely worth over $100 million!" The special effects are even more horrendous than those in the previous series. The Thing just looks like a big CGI rock, which is an improvement on the foam covered Thing from the 05 film. But some of the other effects are just inexcusable for a movie with such a big budget.

In summary, don't waste your time watching this movie unless you like being disappointed. Caught somewhere between eh, and Batman & Robin disaster levels, this movie proves why FOX should just sell the rights to Marvel. They have yet to put out a decent comic based movie that isn't X-Men. And those movies really aren't that good anymore either.… Expand

Now this movie actually started fine.Reed seemed interesting enough and Miles Teller is actually a very good actor and he was delivering it.Some things don't work even in the beginning of course,but overall it was fine and nothing too terrible about it.
Then the movie tries to be smart and dark which just turns out as laughable and boring.This movie takes itself way to seriously and it really should not have.Unfortunately even the Special Effects very really bad,and I was watching it and asking myself how could a 2015 Superhero movie look so bad.Nothing looked real or believable here.Especially Doom,whose design was really bad and his face looked like so terrible that at a point it just makes you laugh at it.
The overall acting is fine,there's nothing too terrible about it.The dialogue wasn't as terrible either,not most of the time at least because there are some lines that are really bad too.Also the running time is not long at all,but by the end the movie just feels like it's dragging on and that is not a good thing at all.
The final battle though sealed it for me,there I was like,that's it,this movie sucks.It tries to be this dark and giant battle and you're supposed to feel for the main characters and feel the weight of this supposedly enormous battle but it just comes out as the worst part of the movie with super bad looking effects that make it look like something that came out of a very bad looking video game that no one cares,loves or buys it.
This movie had some parts that came out as fine but overall it is a big misfire and misguided attempt into making a good Fantastic Four movie for the first time,ever.
Let's hope Marvel gets the rights back and they bring justice to these amazing characters.… Expand

One of the best things is that the climax is really short. You heard me. A short climax. In a superhero movie. A dream come true. The facial expressions on The Thing were really good and Dr. Doom was a badass villain. Don't watch it if you worship the comics as your God. But if you like the superhero genre but not as an obsession, you'll like it. Not quite Fantastic but still good.… 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.… Expand

It’s not very often Marvel makes a movie that feels like a swing and a miss. (I know it is 20th Century Fox) This latest installment is not exactly a whiff. It’s more of a really deep fly to right just outside the foul pole… close but no cigar my friends. Movie studios tend to make these in threes so, they do have a few more pitches to look at. OK, enough baseball analogies.

This film felt like they were going through the motions. Making another super hero movie, yada, yada, yada. The whole thing was a bit uninspired. The Executive Producer was Stan the Man himself, but yet the back story was pretty much ripped asunder from the comic’s origin. Johnny and Sue were not adopted siblings in any version of the Four. They kind of merged Ultimate Fantastic Four and the Original 1960s version. Many liberties with the story arc were taken and since Stan Lee served at the top of the production, I guess it’s supposed to be all good.

One good rule of thumb for these types of movies is this: If you are going to chop up the story and piss off the fan-boys, you better make a great movie! JJ Abrams irritated the crap out of the “Trekkies”, but damn that 2009 movie was solid. So it kind of made up for the liberties taken with the story. This was no JJ’s Star Trek, however.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not screaming for movie ticket refund. This was a decent flick, it just fell well short of the expectation I have when Marvel is involved in a movie. In fairness, this was a 20th Century Fox movie since they own the rights. But again Stan Lee was Executive Producer. Marvel’s name and trademark opening animation still run at the start of the movie. You know, the guys that gave us Iron Man, The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy. 20th Century also did two great Fantastic Four movies in the 2000’s and several X-Men movies with some solid success. Now a studio wielding a resume like that conjures up some heavy expectations. This movie is kind of the Marvel equivalent to Ryan Leaf in the NFL. Yeah, I said it. Ryan Leaf was a great quarterback, he just couldn’t elevate that amazing college game to the pro-level. This movie had all the stuff it needed to succeed, there just wasn’t proper execution. Wow, I am really on a sports analogy fetish today ;)

Comic origins aside, this still could have been a much better film. The movie lacked the comic relief that has become such a big part of the success of the Marvel Universe films. The 2005 Fantastic Four movie had all that Marvel magic and frankly it just crushes this latest effort in every measurable way. That ’05 film remains firmly placed in the top 10 of my Super Hero Movie List. You might tire your middle finger working the mouse’s scroll wheel to find this film on the list. This one really didn’t have anything stand out. It was just kind of “meh”.

This movie didn’t even have the obligatory Stan Lee Cameo. Sure at one point there was Johnny calling off-screen to an unseen guy named “Stan”. Really? Come on. Many may say that since 20th Century Fox owns the movie rights to Fantastic Four, they don’t need to follow Marvel’s tendency to have Stan appear in cameos. But hey Marvel makes huge money on these things, so a little emulation could bring some extra box office cash. Oh and in case you forgot, one of Stan’s biggest cameos came in the 2005 Fantastic Four as the chatty mailman.

There were some “Easter eggs” and it pays homage to the comic stories in several scenes. Even the very last scene was practically taken right off the last page of the first Fantastic Four Comic in 1962.

Another notable miss is the also obligatory after credits bonus scene. Yes, that’s right, I rode the credits to bitter end and no such scene appeared. I do know that a guy named Edward Poveta was the Payroll Accountant for the production, and that’s good to know ;)

On a positive note: Reg E. Cathey plays Dr. Franklin Storm. The fan-boy base was a bit tweaked as he is part of the whole Johnny and Sue aren’t related issue. This guy however, is the bright light on the stage. He is the only actor I felt a connection to in this production. He doesn’t carry the whole film per se, he just brings a some much-needed gravitas to an otherwise bland cast. This movie’s biggest failing is probably the dialog. It may be the worst in Marvel silver-screen history. This movie won’t put you to sleep and won’t smell like a fart in an elevator, but if you are a Marvel fan you will not leave the theater with that Marvel movie buzz you may be accustomed to.

Now that Marvel is cranking out blockbusters and hauling in tanker-loads of box office cash, perhaps they need to buy the rights back to Spiderman, X-Men and Fantastic Four from Sony-Columbia and 20th Century Fox.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Dull and downbeat" and "woefully misguided attempt" are not the words to describe this film, at least to me. There are cons, though, because this and everything else that exists in the universe, is flawed. Doom is handled poorly and looks dumb, the film skips a year ahead when it's unnecessary, and the ending is no doubt rushed, nonsensical, and a colossal disappointment. To make up for these cons, though, I really enjoyed the performances and characters, which somewhat overshadowed the flaws with this film...except the ending.

The ending was ABSOLUTELY ridiculous! Rushed and predictable. Doom was the worst aspect of the film, no doubt. Toby Kebbell did a swell job on his acting part, but the writers did not know what the heck they were doing with him. The fight between him and the Fantastic Four must've been at least five minutes tops! Usually, the final conflict between the protagonist(s) and antagonist(s) lasts longer than at least ten minutes, in previous experiences. The best part of the ending was seeing the terrible villain being killed because I could finally be relieved (partially) of the torture I experienced watching this bland and poorly handled villain for the previous thirty minutes or so.

Though to try to forget about the ending, the first ten to fifteen minutes were great, with young Reed and young Ben beginning their friendship. The child actors were great, with a few minor slip-ups from Reed's child actor, but other than that small nitpick, those were easily one of the best segments of the entire film.

The most memorable performances came from Miles Teller (Reed Richards), Kate Mara (Susan Storm), and Reg E. Cathey (Dr. Franklin Storm). Michael B. Jordan (Johnny Storm) and Jamie Bell (Ben Grimm) were fantastic as well, but the previous three stood out to me more. The last thing I'll say before I conclude is that I wished that, besides getting a much better ending, they would've expanded on the arc of Susan's adoption. That was really intriguing and I hope that in the sequel (if they still decide to make it) that they'll expand upon it more.… Expand

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.… Expand

When the action did kick in however, it was good but even then it was only the ending fifteen or so minutes that the inevitable Dr. Doom fight went on. The beginning minutes were awesome, showcasing Reed Richards and Ben Grimm as kids is a really cool idea.

Pros: Richards & Grimm as kids.
Action is good (when finally commenced)

Cons: Script is not the best.
Generally slow.
Special effects could be better.

There is hardly any action in this movie with the dragged on scenes and boring conversations.

FF was ripe with pathos (Ben and Alicia) in this tome all the heat was tween Thing and Reed "Brokedown Baxter" maybe?
Cant we get somebody to do a righteous turn on Galacticus and Silver Surfer-probably the greatest Marvel narrative of all time (that last one as we all know sucked the grand patoo) when Marvel WHEN?!… Expand

The generally serious tone in the beginning with some real human beings as characters is good, but it goes nowhere ultimately and just implodes into sheer boredom making the motions through the same old clichés we've all seen hundreds of times before. The cast is utterly lackluster which is saying something since on their own they've all shown to be good actors, but here no one stands out to any degree whatsoever and they prove completely interchangeable. The film's structure is awry too as it feels like only half a movie. That said when it ended was a delight!… Expand

The bad part was the fight scene which was terrible, it's like they barely put any effort on writing and making it, and the last scene which was stiff and felt very scripted. The main problem is that the movie and script felt 'amateur'.

But kudos to Josh for not making the team look completely dumb.… Expand

Nothing great, but nothing so horrible either as many of people everywhere have been saying. The cast was great, Michael B. Jordan and Kate Mara have been the main reason why I wanted to see the movie, as I love those two young actors. But I was equally enjoying all of the actors. The movie began nicely, maybe a little too stretched out in retrospect, but it didn't bother me while watching. Then when the action started, it all got too quick and too clumsy. So yeah, the second part of the movie was definitely poorly done, but it still far from the worst movie I have ever seen. So pretty average (superhero) movie, with a great cast.… Expand

I thought the first hour of the movie was well done. Character driven and dramatic. It's unfortunate that it began to defy logic in favor of explosions after they got their powers, but this movie is still better than the ratings would suggest.

The not so Fantastic Four is defently an originSo the one-massively criticized superhero flick is here, and it’s been called one of the worst movies ever made, a crappy Batman & Robin, and even "Craptastic Bore", but is it really that bad? The not so Fantastic Four is defently an origin story that takes well too long to tell, and that forgets important plot details and that’s well too short to be a superhero-flick and that never really pays off.

The first act is definitely the greater aspect, with its interesting plot and somewhat exciting events. But there are also some inlogical things, especially when it comes to the editing. That lack of greatness really escalated later in the second and third act. The characters are always the major detail of every movie that needs to be well written and presented, but I'm wondering if the writers were drunk or just stupid while they were writing it, because it's just so badly done. It took the half part of the movie just to get the characters going, so it took well too long to introduce them. The second thing is that we never got to see how our heroes developed and got control over their powers. The major reason is that the editing is so terrible. They skipped everything from how they got to learn to control their powers to how their friendships and chemistry developed! They therefor missed important plot and character details. That's a serious mistake for one that just were a part of the development of the X-Men franchise, well good luck on getting back there!

That's just one small aspect with all the big mistakes in this reboot, and another one is definitely the many and serious plot-holes throughout the whole movie. The storytelling is also very messy and just weird from time to time. But the real mistake is the lack of a greater third act. We didn't get to see the wrath of the villain until like 20 minutes before the movie ended...what the hell?! Another thing is that Dr Doom is extremely vaguely presented and there are very little relatable aspects with him. He's ugly too, and you can't really feel that understanding of him, why he's the villan. The only great thing about him is that he's defently scary. So yeah, it's not a flawless movie, not by a long shot.

But it doesn't end there; The crappy Fantastic Four also got some predictable moments, and dialogs here and there, and the movie is extremely short. The major BAD thing is that there are so much plot and character story missing, but why is the movie so short then? There are even shots in the trailers that looked promising, and some of them wasn't in the movie! Im stunned by how this movie even became to be this bad. Even the climax is just too short and well too rushed for its own good. Sure it got some cool moments, but ohh myy it tries to be serious, but it totally fails due to terrible editing and storytelling; not to mention some of the vague CGI and forced humor.

It's understandable why many out there hates it; it’s full of enormous flaws. One of the most flaw-filled movie I’ve ever seen with its lack of plot and character details, character development, massive amount of plot-holes, messy editing, vague and non-relatable villain and of course the forced humor, rushed third act and the dry chemistry between the characters after they got their not so fantastic powers. But it got some bright aspects too; like great actors, good soundtrack and somewhat okay dialogs, but that's sometimes forced to the audience (fact-based dialogs).

Sure it got some okay aspects and you can still watch it, but the flaws are just so big and impossible to hide from. It's indeed a bad movie with it's terrible editing and lack of a Marvel-entertainment that steals the show nowadays. Give the rights back to Marvel or try again Fox!

The reboot that failed.

It is not rooted in the 60s/70s F4 world. As I understand it, it is based on a newer reboot of the comic franchise. It follows the trend established by the Dark Knight films: it is dark and brooding. And Miles Teller, while a fine actor, really exudes "jerk". which works in many roles, but not as Mr. Fantastic. A bizarre casting choice that probably dooms this new franchise. It is just so hard to like him. Otherwise, this is a typical superhero origins first film: the characters' backstories, how they acquired their powers, the conflict that causes them to need to use their powers for good, the favorable resolution of that conflict, and their bright future as superheroes. Other than the miscast Teller, the rest of the group is unremarkable. The effects are very good,. The main villain gets his own backstory, while the secondary villain, the bad corporate guy, is cliche. A combination of bad casting and bad writing really prevented this film from becoming what it could have been.… Expand

Then comes the event on which everyone get their powers and the plot suddenly derails, a few timeskips leave a lot of unexplained events and the acting start to look very awkward. As this wasn't enough, the main villain pops in out of nowhere exhibiting an unexplained set of new powers and a completely irrational and out-of-character mindset. What was awkward until then turns into a VERY cheesy last battle, complete with forced heroic lines and a fight with almost no action in it (you read it right, it's a last battle with little fighting to speak of).

In short, this is a strong contender for the worst superhero movie in the last decade.… Expand

But it immediately goes nowhere as Fox decided to not develope any characters, sub-plots, etc. And of course, the third act is even worse than I thought.

The movie had a lot of things going forI heard the rumors and read the reviews about this film but it only made me want to see it for myself. I know, I’m a bit of a masochist. Turns out Fox’s new Fantastic Four is incredibly frustrating.

The movie had a lot of things going for it. The cast is incredible, they might not have been the ones I would have pictures in these roles, but they are still talented and interesting actors. The way they approached the characters and their relationships was also interesting and it sort of made sense to me. The fact that they were all outsiders in their own way, them being wickedly smart and kind of awkward was an idea that I could have lived with. There’s also the “scaryish” elements in the movie that I liked. It felt like they were monsters, they were strange, and all of these ideas were potentially good ones but the execution was botched.

The pace was so F-ing slow for two third of the movie, and once there’s a little bit of action it ends. At times it was obvious that some scenes were cut short, some bits of dialogues annoyed the hell out me. Fox had all of the right ingredients to make an awesome movie but they sorely missed. If we look at the bright, among other things, you can use this movie showcase the importance of editing.

Were everyone expresses the fact that the film has a talented cast , i believe that it somewhat a half-truth, were they have shown once they are good in atleast one form of media, it seems as though this gang of young cast members came across as one hit wonders, lacking chemistry and character imagination yet proudly receiving a paycheck by the end of it all. However enough of that lets talk about the plot, Fan4tic simply is the largest origin story ever made with simply enough sound and noise to signify nothing, leaping across the finish line, almost like watching a person with Parkinson's disease trying to play Frogger. The film is completely dis-interesting, motives are no longer established and the threat of anything is not established until the third act which consequently is the worst part. In the end not even a bottle of scotch and a bunch of dead babies can't drown the sorrows of this fantastic flop… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, this movie has a good thin (very **** thin) crust, to a superhero movie if you will. Despite what critics say, I like the look of Doctor Doom, I like his powers as well but we'll get onto that. It has fine cinematography and a decent soundtrack, now lets move on to the negatives. What the f*ck were they thinking. There was no back story to this, zero, and I'm not exaggerating, literally zero explanation as to why Reed richards is a super genius child and why for some reason there is advanced scientific parts in a junk yard in America, why johnny has a car that he loves so much and that he apparently wants badly so he'll work for a scientific organisation rather than doing something else and why susan has about as much facial expression as Bella from twilight. I cannot believe how much this movie infuriated me. Doctor Doom, no explanation as to why he hates the earth so much, he's just some hipster loner douchebag who is a dick and hates the earth for some bizarre unknown reason. And the thing, another loner with an abusive background (at least SOME background my god) and not one redeemable quality too him makes him seem relevant or cool. Oh and by the way, this movie is 90% having awkward conversations and 10% actually doing fights. What a steaming pile of dogwank.… Expand

Okay so here's like a genuine honest review of the film. It's not as bad as everyone is making out to be for a start! But it does have it's problems.

Overview: The first half of the movie was actually done rather well and to a quality IOkay so here's like a genuine honest review of the film. It's not as bad as everyone is making out to be for a start! But it does have it's problems.

Overview: The first half of the movie was actually done rather well and to a quality I was happy with. After the time jump to a year later the movie falls apart - Fast!!! It seems like the put a lot of effort into the start and then after they'd had a good build up that maybe lasted longer than expected they realised they had to actually finish the film. The back half just feels incredibly rushed and sloppy. It seems like they just the first thing that came to mind was what they went with because they hadn't planned how to finish it and so it's incredibly sloppy.

In Depth Look:
For the first half of the movie it does a really good job of setting up the characters, Ben and Reed are developed alongside each other and as the characters the movie spends the most time with they actually seem believable and likeable, well written AT THE TIME!

We're quickly introduced to Johnny and Sue and they're just portrayed as the typical know it all pioneering young scientist (Sue) and the typical rebellious teen who is squandering his potential (Johnny) Okay these characters needed a lot more work but fine... Reed and Ben have been done really well so I'll tolerate it. I even though they did a good portrayal of Victor! (NOT! Dr Doom, he was an absolute shambles)

So for this first half it's set up acceptable and I am totally on board with the film, they acquire their powers in a very dramatic way and it's pretty fun to watch, a little over the top but it's a super hero movie, what do you expect?

But I'm aware time is running short at this point. We're like 2/3rds through the run time and they still need to show how the team adapt to their new powers and have Victor come back as Doom... How are they going to fit all that in to what's left of this movie!

Well! First of all! Who needs to see the interesting struggles these guys face developing their new powers when we can just cut to a year later when they've got it all under control! Oh but Reed ditched them because they've been in captivity so we have to have Ben go bring him back. Incredibly sloppy and rushed but still I'm looking at the clock like "They still don't have time to really have Doom do much, this has already been ridiculously fast, I'm worried that this movie is just going to fall apart towards the end..."

And of course it does! But more spectacularly than I could possibly imagine. Doom is back on earth less than two minutes before he's blowing up people's heads with his mind (I was unaware Dr Doom was capable of such things) He's just walking through halls blowing up everyone's brains then decides to create a black hole that will consume the earth, all because he doesn't want them to touch his planet... Okay...? I was trying to give this ludicrous plot swing some defence and was thinking it least it's not "You betrayed me and left me here, I'm going to kill you all" Because that would have been predictable but honestly that would have been ALOT! better. It's typical because it works. Doom was a mess, the ending was a mess and it was such a shame because I really! enjoyed the first half... To just leave it in this pile of mess when they had done so well ugh...

Well maybe they're get it right for the sequel!? *Cough* They're likely not getting one *cough* *cough*… Expand

But that's not why FOX should give up and return the rights to Marvel Comics. This film began a new Universe, other than the ones of the X-Men films, as told by the producers Simon Kinberg and Hutch Parker The New York Daily News, such Universe that stays at sole discretion of those who pick it, as the way it is taking is already quite different from the original story or the previous film. Therefore, it would be a total waste to abandon this timeline, whose "trailer" has been released and has 90 minutes.

I think no one liked when the timelines of both Spider-Men (Tobey Maguire's one and Andrew Garfield's) were abandoned, leaving outstanding stories that hardly (not to say impossible) will be taken back in the comics.

It doesn't help when you have a Thing without genitals, a black-Human Torch, a love between Reed and Susan yet to be established and the film ends with the public still hoping to see the blue suits everyone loves, but I think all the actors have fit well into the character, and it's in the way of changing something, continuing to please the Genral Public, where you see the potential of a person and I think that this potential will be realized by everyone when our Quartet (more Fantastic than this time, I hope) returns to theaters and action in this film's sequel in 2017.… Expand

failed casting, failed story, stupid dialogs, better watch something else. If you like super hero movies, this is not for you, its a failure in every aspect, Toby Kebbell didn't even try, of course is not all his fault because he should havefailed casting, failed story, stupid dialogs, better watch something else.

In a word Crap!!!
this has personified what Hollywood has become.
you would be better of renting the blob or even attack of the killer tomatoes. Hollywood's prime time liberties with the plot shows up in epic glory, make it they will viewIn a word Crap!!!

do your self a favor go and watch a marathon of Abbott and Costello, Harold Lloyd.
see Gold Diggers of 1933, something that has a real plot and the has some entertaining value.
the only seen that was somewhat entertaining was done by the younger kids.
ho kids do your self a favor do not put this movie in your resume, it will kill your prospects as an actor.
As for the actors If you have a choice in choosing your director, as for a British or an Ozzie some that cares what goes on the screen.
At least they have the attitude to make a film that is presentable or a the least viewable.
To be complacently fare this film dose not even come close to the avengers.
And I mean the cartoon version that one had a plausible plot not that this film had one.… Expand

o filme tem um inicio ate bacana, no 1º ato se mostra um filme de ficcao cientifica, mas quando o filme tenta se transformar em um filme de super heróis, fica um lixo. o filme tem dialogos muito amadores, algumas cenas, você percebe que oo filme tem um inicio ate bacana, no 1º ato se mostra um filme de ficcao cientifica, mas quando o filme tenta se transformar em um filme de super heróis, fica um lixo. o filme tem dialogos muito amadores, algumas cenas, você percebe que o efeito especial, não funciona muito bem, e as piadas do filme nehuma delas funciona dentro de um roteiro com muitos furos.
nota: 5/10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the worst summer movies to come. Great cast but gets brought down by a horrible storyline. its a action movie trying to be better than other action movies but gets brought down by a 10 minutes action scene. For me personally I almost fell asleep in this movie and the last battle scene was not thrilling enough for me and needs more action but what can u do.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This move is the Day-Z of super heroes, and we know how bad this goes.
So, no source material was used besides the title. The move is an obvious cash-grab, with the actors running around spitting lines that most of the time don't even make much sense.
The pseudo-science is also bad and some of the CGI looks amateurish.
I honestly asked for my money back, because the trailer looked more polished than the movie,
Don't watch.… Expand

Good times, FF needed a new look, very reminiscent of the Ultimate FF by Millar. Enjoyed Doom as well. Love the Sci-Fi explorer approach. The new actors on board were great

Have you ever wanted to see a movie where every aspect of that said movie fails immensely? Well then, Fant4stic is for you! It's one of the worst movies I've seen in recent memory.
