Review of Fantastic Four (2015) by T-Rodney — 21 Aug 2015

Fantastic Four is a mess, The first act of the movie is watchable at least, there is so much wasted potential in this movie. In the first act there is a bit of humor, you see where they are going with the Film and the problem is that this movie drags on and tries to justify itself in the Last third of the movie and does a terrible job.

The cast performances were at best mediocre Kate Mara is dry as Susan Storm she does not make the character come to life, Micheal b Jordan is okay as Johnny storm, but there is no deeper connection with his character this is the same for Milles Teller who seems unsure as Reed Richards sometimes, Jamie bell is Jusrt there as a Plot tool the character development is the a bit but never satisfying and Toby Kebbell as Doctor Doom is just STUPID, before he is doom there is hope for the character but comes of as underdeveloped, generic and when he becomes Doom his presence is forced, His powers don't make sense and as the villain he has a super generic plot which would have worked but with the boring acting, forced scenes it comes off as ridiculous and the final act of the movie is pathetic the showdown, stakes are meaningless.

There is hardly any action in this movie with the dragged on scenes and boring conversations. The only good things about Fan 4 is the representations of Reed's powers in action sequences and The soft of neat stuff in the first half and the effort to build realationships in the last act but fails.
