Very poor movie only ten minutes action and the end was very quick and predictable. The story was ok at the start but after the first 15 minutes the whole movie was rubbish!

Where fan4stic's first mistake was not releasing duringWhere the 2005 version was at-least watchable and the 1994 version, had the decency to never exist, Fan4stic feels as though it just slipped through the gaps in movie releases this year. Where fan4stic's first mistake was not releasing during the summer blockbuster phase were it might have otherwise been bearable to watch within the cinemas, Fan4stic breaks past mediocrity and into the abysmal below with a passion, lacking prominent movie features such as ambition and the love of storytelling, coming across as a film in which everyone who was involved looked disinterested and ready to dig a six foot grave for the film which would be filled with quick drying cement. 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

When we first learned of a reboot for Marvel’s original super team the “Fantastic Four” our expectations were not high, after all the 2005 version and its 2007 sequel ‘Rise of the Silver Surfer’ were among the weakest comic-book adaptationsWhen we first learned of a reboot for Marvel’s original super team the “Fantastic Four” our expectations were not high, after all the 2005 version and its 2007 sequel ‘Rise of the Silver Surfer’ were among the weakest comic-book adaptations of the 21st century, and like Sony with ‘Spider-Man’, 20th Century Fox’s deal to retain the rights from Marvel means they have to keep making these films within a certain timeframe, regardless of the quality.

So when about half way into the film things were moving along nicely if predictably, our hopes arose, this seemed like a more considered origin tale for the characters who were presented in this version as super-kid geniuses, Miles Teller as “Reed Richards” was leading the performances admirably and things were building up to something that would surely be “Fantastic”.

But Fantastic is hardly the word we’d use for what follows in the second half of this ‘Fantastic Four’, after the group gains their powers following a disaster in the discovery of inter-dimensional travel, a discovery which is in itself more interesting than the powers it creates and the rest of the story, the tone of the film changes and the story becomes uneven.

The drama of the inner struggles of the team becomes tedious and we barely get to see them in action, then abruptly their now nemesis “Dr. Doom” re-enters the fray, they have a brief and utterly underwhelming inter-dimensional battle on a distant planet with unimpressive visuals, depriving the audience of a momentous action finale… and that’s it, the film is over.

Any jeopardy and promise built up by the origin story is obliterated by potentially the most disappointing pay-off in comic-book movie history, an utterly underwhelming conclusion that justifies our fear that this would be another pointless and disappointing superhero reboot, perhaps the inevitable sequel set for 2017 will expand the story and visuals to where they should be.

The Bottom Line…
All build-up with no payoff, any initial promise is spectacularly squandered through a faltering narrative and majorly disappointing conclusion with very little drama or action to speak of, perhaps they’re saving any thrills for the sequel but the result is just another pointless superhero reboot.… Expand

There is hardly any action in this movie with the dragged on scenes and boring conversations. The only good things about Fan 4 is the representations of Reed's powers in action sequences and The soft of neat stuff in the first half and the effort to build realationships in the last act but fails. In the end Fantastic four does not know where it's going, Bad chemistry between characters, Pathetic Doctor Doom and boring, dragged on scenes, there is potential but not fully exploited so it's really a bas movie AT BEST… 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

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

Superhero films have been doing a lot of incredible things lately, especially the ones based on Marvel comics. With so many characters to be brought to the big screen it doesn't seem likely for the trend to stop anytime soon. Giving theSuperhero films have been doing a lot of incredible things lately, especially the ones based on Marvel comics. With so many characters to be brought to the big screen it doesn't seem likely for the trend to stop anytime soon. Giving the Fantastic Four another shot was a good idea. However this movie wasn't the way to do it.

It's rushed and incomplete. Fragments of the story are missing, the villain has little motive, and the characters never really come together in any way that actually makes their team believable and satisfying. I applaud the attempts at change, but the execution is severely lacking. All that being said I still enjoyed the movie. It's definitely not the Fantastic Four movie I wanted, but I still found it to be an entertaining, yet highly flawed, sci-fi flick.

There is a certain appeal to watching these talented actors come together on their project. However, once the powers come into play things go off the rails. It's a decent sci-fi flick, but a disappointing superhero movie.

The charming cast is given some cheesy lines and their powers are brought to life with some surprisingly dated special effects. It kind of reminded me of an old-school, alien invasion flick in ways both good and bad.

There's a lack of emotion and certain plot-lines, such as the broken friendship between Reed and Grimm, never see any sort of resolution. It's evident that some good ideas were behind this project, but ultimately something went wrong and the majority of the film was pieced together in ways that leave it all unfinished.

Then there's Doom himself. The big baddy of the film, and one of the most significant super villains in all of comics, just sort of appears near the end of the film with some bogus plot and zero real reason for actually doing it. Part of why superhero films have been so successful recently is because of villains with real motivations and at least some attempts at being fleshed out. Those elements are strangely missing here. It feels like Doom was just included because "oh yeah, this is a superhero movie. It kind of needs one of those."

You can tell there are a lot of good ideas here and lots of areas that maybe the writer(s)/director wanted to expand upon, but ultimately either didn't get to or just didn't care enough to actually try. The end results feel lazy and thrown together. Yet, despite is disjointed execution and fragmented nature, I still found myself enjoying it.

Yes, it's a highly flawed bit of filmmaking. However it's got a great vibe, a likable cast, and a certain amount of likability to keep it entertaining despite all of the totally obvious flaws. I honestly think had it not had the Fantastic Four's name attached to it then maybe we all could have been a bit more forgiving. To be honest it just doesn't do these characters or their stories justice. For some reason though I still like it. Not because it's a good superhero film, but because it's a good bit of sci-fi nonsense that really could have been great had more effort been put into it.

It's a flawed, yet strangely fun movie. One that doesn't do much for the heroes it tries to mimic, but does enough good despite itself to still be worth a watch so long as you are willing to put with a large list of flaws. For some reason I was apparently ready to. Somehow it was able to give me reason to even with the odds stacked against it. Because of that I give it a 7.7/10. I don't know how or even really why at all, but I enjoyed it. I would still like them to go back to the drawing board for these heroes in the future though. The Fantastic Four deserve better.… Expand

But honestly i don't think this Fantastic Four it's that terrible i mean it's bad and disappointed for sure but worst movie of 2015 ? i don't think so.

The thing that i think most people going to hate this movie for is the lack of hollywood blockbuster movie moment this is the movie that it's just so generic predictable with pretty bad action scene and when you combine with the fact that the main characters in the movie is actually work like a team like a "Fantastic Four" less than 5 minutes you probably be pretty angry especially comic fans and you should be.

Not counting the other fact that Dr.Doom in this movie is just trash like really really bad , he's a type of terrible bad guy in superhero movie which delivers nothing but boredom to the audience.

BUT i think the others four characters is fine like Reed , Benn , Sue and Johnny Storm they're watchable especially Reed play by Miles Teller he's pretty good in this movie too and all four characters relationship and conflict is just so interesting .

Overall Fantastic Four 2015 is a epic disappointment i can't deny that it's just so mediocre and someway it's pretty bad like the production behind it's just terrible which is really surprising since this is like 20 Century Fox blockbuster movie it's should not have like terrible CG or terrible action scene but still it's watchable it's not like completely garbage it's a movie that i think you should watch for yourself if you a fan of the Fantastic Four and see if you like it , love it , hated it it's better than believing others when you don't even watch it by yourself .… 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 went in wanting a sci-fi film and that's what I got. Sure, the last 25 minutes could have been better but that doesn't outshine the great start of the film for me. Plus, Doom's hallway scene is one of the most violent and dare I say bad-ass scenes in a comic book film.

It is the best FANTASTIC FOUR film to date but if you're looking for tights and superheroics...this one won't be for you. But if you're into films like THE FLY, SCANNERS and CHRONICLE...I'd say give it a shot. It's a good start and here's to hoping the sequel moves forward.… Expand

Unlike most Marvel films, this one took itself way too seriously, completely defeating the purpose and fun of the film. And when it wasn't taking itself too seriously, it was just plain corny! Even the acting was pitiful. I especially expected much more from Miles Teller, especially after completely wowing me with last year's Whiplash, but even he gave a cheesy and ridiculous performance along with the rest of the cast. And to make things even worse, almost the whole film is spent setting up the final events and fight, so no real action takes place until the final twenty minutes or so!

The biggest problem is that it lacks any focus on any sub-plot, development of characters, etc. it's just all over the place. Personally, I blame Fox rather than director Josh Trank. At parts, it felt like it was going somewhere. 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. This movie just wanted to get rid of itself so quickly that it lacked any pace. Overall, this is a wasted reboot. I need to sleep this off. This gets an F!… Expand

We get to see how everything began when Reed and Ben were kids and a few years later they meet with Storm and his daughter, Sue. After that, we all know what comes: Victor, the accident and special powers. The script might have failed in a few moments, this is true. How the guys managed to use the teleporter secretly is a bit weird, since there should have been security next to the object. When Doom gets stuck in another dimension, the script forgets about him and focus on Fantastic Four, instead of showing us a little bit about him and his struggles. At last, the final battle, in which the combat between heroes and Dr. Doom is rushed. On the other hand, nothing that makes FF a bad movie. It's highly entertaining, it has great action sequences, good dialogues and the cast is awesome. Missed an end credits scene but I'm excited for the sequel somehow.

FilmGobAug 7, 2015

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Directed by Josh Trank, 'Fantastic Four' is a contemporary re-imagining
of Marvel's superhero team. It centers on four young outsiders who
travel to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their
physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the
team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work
together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.

As i write this review, the Rotten Tomatoes score is showing 11% after
52 reviews. Wow, must be a real stinker, right? Wrong. The summary next
to the score says "a woefully misguided attempt to translate a classic
comic series without the humor, joy, or colorful thrills that made it
great." Made what great? The comic that is now canceled due to poor
sales or the previous two films that everyone loves hating on? The same
mouth breathers don't want to admit that if those films were part of
the MCU, they'd praise the **** out of them. Instead they cry man child
tears for Fox to hand the rights back to their beloved Marvel Studios.

For the past 6 months, the ill will towards this new production reached epic
levels, even before the first trailer. The closet racist millennial hipsters were
out in force on the internet, all because Johnny Storm was to be played by
a black man. And apparently the big scoop that Doctor Doom would be
renamed Victor Domashaev, a hacker with the username DOOM. This rumor
refused to die, but completely shot down in the first 20 minutes of the film.
He IS from Latveria, his name IS Victor Von Doom, he IS a scientist. Now,
please. Shut. The. **** Up.

Did i enjoy the film myself. Yes. 'Chronicle' director Josh Trank
brings intelligence and realism, which some comic film fans still can't
appreciate. The dark tone and light humour were balanced throughout,
unlike the mess that can be Marvel's cinematic universe. With an almost
50s sci-fi vibe, there's a refreshing approach here that is in contrast
to the safe, by the numbers direction of recent Marvel efforts.

The character development was spot on. Well written with sympathy,
empathy and chemistry. The confident but nerdy Reed (Miles Teller) was
believable as a child prodigy now realizing his dream. Johnny (Michael
B. Jordan) and his adopted sister Sue (Kate Mara) share a strained
relationship but respect each other. The Thing's (Jamie Bell) journey
from bullied kid to becoming a horrific weapon of war by the military
is a sympathetic one. And Victor (Toby Kebbell) is a moody anti hero at
first, but turns into an intense, brain exploding, scary ass villain.

Now there is a 'one year later' point in the film after great build up
that critics are going nuts about. Fair enough but it didn't bother me
much. The sudden comic action in the final act felt rushed and dumbed
down, with sloppy CGI thrown in too. A disappointing end to a promising
start, but there's too much originality that creates a solid base for
the future.

We'll need to wait and see if Fox continue with the sequel and/or plans
to bring it into the X-Men universe. For now, don't believe the hate.… Expand

Those who don’t listen to all the bad press, the colourJosh Trank, Director of the Fantastic Four has had a hard time straight from the start. He did what I thought was an awesome job on Chronicle. Now the good things come to those who wait. Those who don’t listen to all the bad press, the colour of a certain hero and the actions of a director’s personal life.
I will start by saying this. The movie has no place below its current Critical status under 50% On Metacritic. It has been brutalized by the fact that it stands on its own. It does not lend itself to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and as it stands right now, it will never get the chance.
At least Sony have handed over most of a certain ‘web crawling menace’ into Marvels hands. But right now we have another rendition of a comic book franchise being re made for a new generation. In the same generation as the first two movies were made!! It really makes no sense why. If it is not joining the larger universe it must be bad right?
Wrong.
This is by no means, an amazing movie or even a great one. But it deserves to be seen and it deserves to do well. It is another Origin story. You may yawn at the fact we have seen them all before. But believe me when I tell you, there is no yawning when this movie starts to put its feet on the ground and move towards, what we all know will eventuate. A bunch of good guys, stop a bad guy and or corporation and happy endings all around. Is that so hard to enjoy?
All the right cast are here and they all make what seems a bit far fetched, so smooth and likeable. The feeling that, if they are ok with it, then hell, so am I.
Mister Fantastic (Miles Teller - Whiplash), Susan Storm (Kate Mara - The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), The Human Torch (Michael B Jordan – Fruitvale Station & Chronicle), Ben Grimm/The Thing (Jamie Bell – King Kong & Tin Tin) & last but not least Victor Von Doom played by Toby Kebbell the wonderful actor that portrayed the Ape ‘Koba” in Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes.

All of these eventually join forces, to become unlikely allies as the first ever Inter-dimensional Travel Consultants. Until they decide it’s ok to take the trip themselves. This is when things start to go terribly wrong, especially for old Victor Von Doom…being left behind and left to rot in a world we all know so little about and will probably never even see any answers to sadly.
The powers and problems they bring back are then far too focused on the Government being the all-powerful evil corporation that it is. Without giving too much away, let’s just say, they are not set free when they return and are used for the sole purpose of certain organisations and another trip back… because the first time went so well!

The music is composed by Philip Glass (The Hours) and sadly there wasn’t one thing I could take away from this composition apart from the awesome music they used on the Official Trailer. It brings nothing to the movie and that is not how it should be for a super hero flick.

The entire film does feel like a boxed in world with nothing existing outside its walls till the very end when they need something to threaten. Two sets built solely around the creation of our heroes in a lab. Then onto an alternate dimension and then back to a lab again.

This for me was the most disappointing concept for a film about super heroes growing into their own. It felt like they lost a budget and had to constrain it to the size of two football fields. Any bigger than that and the team gets tanked and they use another director.

It feels boxed in yes, but at the same time it feels fresh. A time in cinema when it all goes back to its roots and is just a fun movie to watch. I enjoyed each and every one of these characters and enjoyed watching them grow into The Fantastic Four we know they can be. Sadly it is taken down a generic path. That actually abruptly ends all too quickly and no threat is ever really felt. Leaving our heroes not quite heroes until the sequel it hopefully deserves.

The Special effects were above par. Everything from Jamie Bells The Thing ... to one amazingly horrific Corridor Sequence with a certain someone. The only thing i found distracting the whole movie (other than the lack of a decent soundtrack) was Miles Tellers facial hair. Just staring at it made me wonder, is this real? Is it glued on?

As it stands however with all this bad wrap and not giving this basic, back to form, comic book movie a real shot, we may never see them again and quite frankly that is upsetting.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all: I really liked the movie (exept of the rushed and frankly speaking terrible end)
The end is very generic, poorly written and was obviously not part of the original movie. This part feels a bit like Frankensteins experiment going wrong. An ugly head attached to a great body.
I want to concentrate on all the positive aspects of the movie.
The kid versions of Reed and Ben did a great job, teir friendship made sense and you lear A LOT about their family backgrounds and their personalitys when you pay attention to details. The first part of the movie reminded me of movies like Stand By Me, focussed on their friendship and them being outsiders. You learn that even years later nothing has changed, they (especially Reed) are still misunderstood and laught at. Its a perfect lead up to Reeds wish to be part of a "family" that undersatnds him. Dr Franklin, who discovers him takes the place of a father figure. And it seems that Sue (his adopted daughter) had a similar fate. It seems like Dr Franklin adopted her BECAUSE she was gifted. Her brother Johnny is taleted as well as a mechanic, but obviously not as smart as Sue. The family seems to be realiticly dysfunctional. The father "prefers" the adopted daughter to his own son. Johnny has a craving for being respected for having a purpose in life. These are just a couple of examples of how the characters are built to explain their behaviour later on. Victor van Doom was portrait as a difficult but likable person, who (for very real reasons) doesnt trust the government, doesn't really like humanity, because we are destroying our planet. He is not a 2 dimentional villain. In the middle of the movie the editing started to be a bit sloppy, but the movie was still great up to the point where they go back to Planet Zero ad find Doom. From this point on, everything feels rushed and badly edited even badly performed. But lets try to find the positive aspects in the last part of the movie:
Doom: even though I didn't LOVE the look of Doom, I thought it looked exactly as if somebody had an accident. He looked manecing, powerful and insane. Being abandoned on a planet, being genetically altered by the planet clearly had an effect on his personality and radicalized his paranoia and hate. He could have been a great antagonist, if they would have giving him more screentime and well-written dialogue. His powers ware AMAZING and terrifying. He could have been the scariest and most impressive villain ever! The scene where he starts to kill people is shocking and shows you, how dangerous he really is.
The Fantastic Four: there are moments where they work togather as a team and it works. Unfortunatelly they act completely out of character. Instead of acting as the intelligent people they are, they act like typical superheroes.
The evil plan: Dooms evil plan actually make sense and there was a build-up to what could happen in the movie, unfortunatelly it happened all too sudden and without tention build up.

Was the movie good? the first part was very good, thanks to the actors and a good script, the last part was terrible. I still enjoyed the movie and I wish there was a directors cut.
Would i recomment the movie? Yes, absolutely, but I would always warn people that the ending sucks.

I feel sorry for Josh Trank and all the people that put a lot of love and energy into making tis movie. I don't think the terrible review the movie gets are actualy justified and I am shockt at how black and white some critics paint this movie that has two very differen parts.… 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.… Expand

Just.Sh!t. I'd rather watch Batman and Robin than this. Batman and Robin made me laugh and cry while this made me sleep and want to cut myself. I'm glad Stan Lee stayed away from this, no cameo or anything...

Believe the hype, this movie was awful. 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 nothingBelieve the hype, this movie was awful. 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

1/5★I'll break it down to the level of Fanatic Four:
This is dumb movie. Movie waste of my time, your time and must never be spoken of again.
Did the director watch The Avengers, saw what made it good and go yeah, lets have none of THAT,1/5★I'll break it down to the level of Fanatic Four:

Did the director watch The Avengers, saw what made it good and go yeah, lets have none of THAT, and proceed to make a boring, lazy and sad film that would only serve as a contrast to better films?

Verdict: Skip

Plot: Don't care. Don't watch.… Expand

Slight Spoilers: I found the idea of a reboot of the Fantastic Four promising until the casting was announced. Then Michael B. Jordan (Johnny Storm) responded to no one liking the casting by saying "deal with it, you'll rush to see itSlight Spoilers: I found the idea of a reboot of the Fantastic Four promising until the casting was announced. Then Michael B. Jordan (Johnny Storm) responded to no one liking the casting by saying "deal with it, you'll rush to see it anyway." Which is sort of an arrogant thing to say to people you want to see it.
Then you had Kate Mara (Susan Storm) say that the director told her reading one Fantastic Four comic wasn't even necessary....more bad buzz. Also no one bothered to squash the rumor that Doom (Toby Kebbell) is now an angry blogger.
I can say that Kebbell is not playing an angry blogger and in fact does a good job playing Victor Domashev who is a....scientist. Who's not too happy to be working with Reed Richards (Miles Gellar) on a teleportation device. He only agreed to work on the project due to Susan. Victor gets jealous that Reed and Susan start flirting while working. Which is irrelevant and goes nowhere.
Long story short; Reed gets the machine working. The military don't want Reed, Johnny and Victor to be the first to teleport to an alternate universe which especially pisses off Victor. A machine important to the military apparently is unguarded...by the military...so it's joyride time! Reed brings his buddy Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell) along.
Things go wrong; Victor is presumed dead but we all know who he becomes. Everyone gets powers and Sue is hit with energy when everyone returns which gives her powers too. The military considers them all property and a weapon now when Reed just wants to find a cure.
I was into the movie more than I expected. It kept my attention throughout and I disagree with critics who called it joyless with no humor. Since there is some humor and entertaining moments. It's just that the movie is pretty rushed in the second act and bam it's over before you know it just when we get some action.
While I did make fun that Jamie Bell who played a male ballerina in Billy Elliot is now the Thing; he actually works better than anyone else. Miles Tellar and Kate Mara do fine work but mostly better work as brainiacs than as superheroes.
Michael B. Jordan does have the cockiness of Johnny Storm but I never believed that he had any sort of sibling relationship with Susan. Either way they have no chemistry. And he was pretty dull as Johnny.
If I believed anything in the film character wise it is at least that Reed feels bad about Ben becoming a giant rock creature. Kebbell's Doom is sort of bad ass but it's silly how he talks. You see a mouth but it never moves. So how is he talking exactly ?
I did at least get why Doom wants to destroy Earth more than critics did. He's gone mad from being left in the alternate universe for a year and thinks that is his true and superior home now. Either way though I do think the film does get bad and B-Movie like during the battle with Doom. While it's too short to even really enjoy.
Too short goes for the movie as well. The film works better as a Stargate like film in the beginning. But when it's suddenly a superhero film; it's not as good. The film kept my attention but in the end I still can't say it's the Fantastic Four I have been waiting for.
Fox should have rebooted the Fantastic Four with the intention to make a superior film. At least that's why I think reboots should exist. Instead they apparently only made it so Marvel wouldn't get the rights back. Then they rushed it in and out of production just to make money for a summer release. Kind of like what they did with X-Men 3. With Josh Trank blaming Fox that he couldn't make the great movie he intended to make.
If Fox doesn't care if their movies aren't as good as they could be with enough time to make them good; then yes Marvel does deserve the rights back. Still; I don't think the Fantastic Four is as bad as they say. But you should probably just wait for DVD. As for moving ahead with a sequel no one wants; go home Fox...you're drunk.… Expand

The first time a Marvel flick let me down...

I can't say that I was overly excited to see this film, however it was a Marvel production so I was optimistic. Boy what a let down. The film started off great, and then just drug out until it left me disappointed in the end. I think this film, no matter who makes it is gonna suck. 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.… Expand

This was.... something. Something that the Marvel needed to strip it's rights of because this movie was terrible.

Not to say there weren't some good things about this movie. I could tell Miles Teller intentionally didn't try to act afterThis was.... something. Something that the Marvel needed to strip it's rights of because this movie was terrible.

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

Fan4stic is a bizarre movie. Not only does it make similar mistakes to the previous films from taking too long to get powers and action but more. The film is one slow dull origin story that suddenly speeds up towards the end. This film is anFan4stic is a bizarre movie. Not only does it make similar mistakes to the previous films from taking too long to get powers and action but more. The film is one slow dull origin story that suddenly speeds up towards the end. This film is an hour and forty minutes and feels like it is missing an act. Dynamics have changed and there is corny dialogue as if a different writer has taken over. 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. Josh Trank said he wrote a brilliant script for this film that we didn’t get to see and after seeing this film I believe him.… Expand
