Review of Fantastic Four (2015) by Yorkman — 16 Feb 2016
Definitely up there in the 'worst superhero movie ever made' top 5 list. What's worse is that unlike the reboot of Spider-Man (which had a very successful original trilogy run), this reboot fails to learn any lessons taught by the two absolute **** films which were released less than 10 years prior.
With a running time of only 100 minutes, to explain the origin stories of FIVE main characters, as well as then developing a scenario for the Fant4stic to fight the fifth, it's simply an absolute mess.
The film uses a 'one year later' fade out/in for Christ's sake, because it's that lazy and badly written.
Throw in some terrible directing, bad casting, bad acting, unremittingly patronising dialogue, less than stellar special effects and, worst of all, the most anti-climactic end 'fight' scene ever..... And you've got a Turkey that Ebeneezer Scrooge would be proud of the morning after his ghostly visitations!
It really is that bad. I cannot begin to vent my frustrations at what a huge missed opportunity this could have been, if the lessons from the first two films had been taken on-board.
