Review of Fantastic Four (2015) by Jonah K — 08 Apr 2016
I wrote a review for Terminator Genysis a while back and talked about how sad the movie made me. If that made me sad, then Fantastic 4 just is a colossal failure. Never have I seen a movie so low energy, it's almost shocking like everyone on screen had a lobotomy.
Miles Teller, normally full of sass and energy, is just reduced to a soft spoken teenager (...right) who gets somehow disqualified for his science experiment to work at the Baxter organization. There he meets the equally dull Kate Mara who really is just as soft spoken and wearing some odd wig half the time.
I could go on and on and spoil the movie, and really I don't mind since nothing happens. But nothing makes really any sense. Why would Doom come back? What does he gain really to come back and ...
destroy Earth? What if the humans never went back? Why did Reed run away? I mean the star is really for just a shame of how interesting this movie could have been. The transformation back for the boys was an interesting way to tackle the mythology of the F4, but why was Mara out? Geez.
The more I type the more frustrated I get.
