I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Good movie but grossly overrated
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Nothing to review it's just T H R A S H give rights to marvel and just don't make any super hero movies fox please god please...
I wasn't even a fan of the first FF, nor the second, so I really didn't think I'd like the reboot.Occasionally Marvel makes a mistake ala Hulk, Spider Man 3 and Fantastic Four. Correcting that mistake with a remake has not been the answer (ala Incredible Hulk, Amazing Spider Man and Fantastic Four 2015). They should do with the failed solo acts what they did with the Hulk and make them part of a collaborative effort.When Hulk came out I was devastated because he is one of--if not my favorite--comic book character. His two solo movies were atrocious. Then they put him on a team and all was right with the world. No, Hulk couldn't carry a movie by himself but he could certainly be a strong team member. Maybe FF can't carry movies by themselves but maybe they would be excellent in a team member role (like helping the avengers). That's the only future I see for them.
There was nothing Fantastic about this movie, not a second or a scene in which you can say "wow, now that was cool". I understand in the world of superhero movies disbelief is seriously suspended, but to spend over half the movie with the most boring backstory imaginable (not clever, not funny , kid gets slapped around, teacher is an ass, at least have some justice prevails moments). The very second Miles Teller's pathetically weak face appears there is no doubt that the rest of this movie is going to continue to suck cause there is no way that face is going to save it. Oooh, how interesting , looking at books in the library and awards in the hallway. I think the test monkey was more into his role than any of the rest of them, and with the back story given who would care about them anyway? Source material is there for a reason and the wheel need not be reinvented to attract some imaginary movie going genre. Tell a good story with characters people care about, add some humor that isn't stupid or just plain wrong (waterboarding in 4th dimension?) Bad military guys or are those corporate suits we're supposed to not like, who the hell knows or cares. Here kids, just sit up to these chairs and test this high tech equipment, no safety or supervision required....yay, it worked first time, fist bump, uh grab (actually mildly funny moment) Does Sue like Reed now? Who knows, who cares? Oh, and let's not forget to throw in a "it's clobberin' time " just for nostalgia's sake. Time for Fox to get out of the Marvel business and in 10 years or so perhaps revisit this and do it right (like DC and WonderWoman, it can be done with the right script, director and cast)
I wasn't expecting much. In fact, I was looking forward to a terrible movie. As someone who grew up on Mystery Science Theater I was looking forward to a total garbage movie, and boy did this deliver.The first thing that bothered me about this movie was that although it tossed around a lot of science terms thrown around, there wasn't even anything remotely believable about the science. It was like they didn't consult any actual scientists, but just wrote the scenes using a bunch of jargon in an attempt to sound cool.Then there is the choice to make the Fantastic Four high school kids. Who made that decision? There is no reason for them to be 18/19 years old.But the biggest problem is that the movie lacks a plot. It literally does not have a much of a story at all. All that happens is they get their powers, barely anything else. They have a brief clash with Doom, but that's it. There is no build up, there is not tension. This movie is truly terrible.
