Review of Fantastic Four (2015) by Barny — 02 May 2016
To me this is a passable movie, the special effects (CGI) are pretty good, the acting is almost convincing and the music is on par. However, the big problem is the story makes no sense and the alchemy between the characters, let alone the actors, feels wrong.
I felt the story made no sense because the character are shifting continuously from one type to another without sensible explanation. At some point they serve the military like obedient puppets then suddenly have a change of heart and decide to grow up.
The character of Victor Von Doom does not make much more sense either. As for the story, the big point is clearly the establishment of a new franchise (which seems to be the exclusive selling point of any reboot these days) by declaring the name of their new group of buddies is "fantastic 4".
Oh, shall I mention there is absolutely zero form of humour in this movie ? It is all just doom, gloom and superpowers, no lightheartedness. For me this kind of production goes straight on the shelf of failed reboots, as if a reboot could be anything but a failure in its core.
