Review of Fantastic Four (2015) by Jazzmin M — 01 Nov 2016
Can there ever be a good Fantastic Four movie? At all? After ten years, this is what we get? This is one of the worst superhero movies I've ever seen. I really wanted to like this movie. I really did, but it was impossible to do so when none of the characters had actual character, and the plot was so dull and boring.
The beginning of the film starts out interesting enough, but not far in it takes a turn for the worse. The pacing is slow and most of the dialogue is just exposition. It's hardly ever used to build character.
When Franklin Storm died I didn't care a bit because he wasn't interesting nor did Johnny and Sue interact with him that much. Speaking of Sue, she was the least interesting of the Fantastic Bore.
At least the other members, even though they're bland and boring, had moments in the beginning that gave them a teeny tiny bit of identity. The only thing that Sue has going on is her intelligence, but how many superheroes have high intelligence? Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, Hulk.
She's not different. Characters are one of the most important aspects of any film, book, television series, etc. If someone asked me what the characters in this movie are like, I wouldn't be able to tell that person.
The acting is okay. I could tell they were trying with what little they had. The relationship between the team was not strong or emotional. It's empty and dull. Doctor Doom was thrown in at the last few minutes and he was defeated way too quickly.
The effects are crappy, the action was pretty boring and the characters aren't given enough time to show off their powers. It must be pretty embarrassing that Ant-Man is more enjoyable. I read a few positive reviews from users and if you like it, more power to you.
But for most people, it's a bad film with no sense of fun or excitement. I've gone on long enough about this film. It's a big waste of time and money. It's worse than the 2005 film, and that one was bad to me.
Just see Mission Impossible: Rouge Nation or Shaun the Sheep.
