Review of Fantastic Four (2015) by Atr0S — 13 Aug 2015
The movie can be divided in halves, the first half is solid and set up a lot of the background story of each character, particularly Reed and Ben's childhood friendship. Victor, like his comic book counterpart, is insufferable as ever yet there's valid reasoning for his attitude against authorities (his glory-seeking behavior clashes against . Then comes the event on which everyone get their powers and the plot suddenly derails, a few timeskips leave a lot of unexplained events and the acting start to look very awkward. As this wasn't enough, the main villain pops in out of nowhere exhibiting an unexplained set of new powers and a completely irrational and out-of-character mindset. What was awkward until then turns into a VERY cheesy last battle, complete with forced heroic lines and a fight with almost no action in it (you read it right, it's a last battle with little fighting to speak of).
In short, this is a strong contender for the worst superhero movie in the last decade.
