Review of Fantastic Four (2015) by Callmemrgeek — 09 Aug 2015

A film in which there is a prologue with more than 6 minutes, an origin story of a team that gains the powers almost in the break, and that only really comes together at the end of the film, not even giving the fans the happiness of seeing a post-credits scene, will certainly not be a FANTASTIC movie, not commenting any issues related to a divergence from the comics, issue I just don't care.

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.
