Fantastic Four (2015)
So, I figured that since we have gone into great detail in picking apart
Fantastic Four already in this thread, I might as well put my review here. It's not going to be long or in depth because there's really not a whole lot to talk about. I will say that the movie isn't as bad as most have made it out to be. Well, correction, it's not the worst movie I've seen. There are plenty of films that take the title in that department. But yeah,
FF has a lot of troubling issues for sure. It's dull, lifeless, boring and most shockingly, aimless. I really don't know what they were trying to do here. Even though I've heard a lot of negative stuff about the movie, I was still able to avoid most, if not all the spoilers. The biggest issue I have is how the movie seems to be going one way and then the 3rd Act happened and totally changed the direction. It's literally another movie being introduced without really finishing what they were kind of doing in the first two acts. Another problem I had beyond flat characters, was the Special FX. There was nothing special about it and in some cases it was atrocious. With that said, the one thing that I did like about
FF was
The Thing's new look. It's not cheesy as I expected to be. Can't recommend this at all. Not even for Comic Book fans.
