Review of Fantastic Four 2015 Full Movie

Review of Fantastic Four 2015 Full Movie: The first 50 minutes blends the genre of Horror and Sci-Fi rather well, it's both engaging and immersive with a family element albeit stupid and repetitive, is engaging. It's claustrophobic and suspenseful until the beginning of the second act where it all starts to fall apart and looks like a completely different film. It's at this point where I find the film both unbearable and stop watching. The issue here is the studio interference and for good or for bad this suffers drastically. 



The film builds and builds to a climax that never appears, all action has been castrated and in its place, terrible re-shoots have been implemented with the intended attempt of forced character is foiled due to a poor script. The film also leaves itself open to enormous criticism of plot holes and stupidity, with over the top performances and/or dull and annoying characters. First 2 acts were ok but the movie fell apart in the 3rd act it was a cluster of random and what's up with dr.doom apparently he got the power of every superpower you can think of I wonder if he has the power to make this movie not suck, Fox......what happened? 3 strikes you're out to please give the rights back to marvel.

This movie is the biggest crap I've seen. I would have liked that the invisible woman had made her invisible and that the human torch burned her, the death doctor looked like a Minecraft stone with human form and more fantastic has face of championship sole, the dv serves to clean the ass WoW this movie was worse than I could have imagined... the wig on sue was just too funny... at least match the hair color... this film is pure Howard the Duck...


This movie destroyed the original story that was introduced in the comics and replaced it with a confusing group of unlikable characters with a terrible plot Astonishingly dull and painfully boring, Fantastic Four may show a slight amount of promise in the first act, but an uninspired script, flat performances, and soulless direction make for one of the worst superhero films to date.

This one gets way more hate than it's due, although I do understand people's apathy towards it. I find it at least interesting and noble to offer a "Nolanesque" take of what the Fantastic Four could look like. Most of the film does feel quite centered around Mister Fantastic though, whilst the rest of the cast feels underdeveloped in comparison, almost missing out staples of the FF such as the dangerous rivalry between The Thing and the Human Torch which is only seen once briefly near the end of the film.


It does feel refreshing not to suffer from the same juvenile MCU Disney humor recent superheroes have been afflicted with though, with once scene during Doctor Doom's battle having me expect a one-liner, which didn't come to fruition. It is however ironic one of the few comic book characters that eschew this could have gotten away with using it.  As I say, I like the more real-world feel of this one, although that's probably my personal taste coming into play there. Fant4stic Is not a terrible film if nothing else it kept my attention and fairly invested in the movie. This doesn't mean it's outright a great movie though, in my opinion, it is merely fairly alright.

I watched it expecting it to be an incoherent mess, I could see where the fox had done reshoots and the bones are there for a very different movie, I think he made the ending too dark and they reshot it because it seems abrupt to finish. now Michael is in Black Panther so probably no crossover, I hope there's a director cut of this Doom especially felt like he had scenes missing to justify his motives, it's a shame but it isn't bad, the concepts alone make it worth a watch.

Hailed as one of the worst superhero films ever, it tanked the career of its director (Which also cost him his job as the director of a Star Wars film), was butchered to hell by the studio, and was also a financial flop. Fantastic Four is a pretty run-of-the-mill origins story, but with a darker color palette and is also super serious in tone. Still, despite all the bad reviews, I had enough fun with this version (I greatly prefer it to the 2005 film). It's stupid, poorly written, and the actors are left hanging, but for me, it had just enough camp value to elevate it guilty pleasure status. I liked the action scenes, I liked the interesting nuggets of character development, and it also gave me some good laughs (I love the indifference Reed's teacher has to his dreams and his world-changing technology at a science fair). I sure as hell can't recommend this to other people - only for people have an extreme tolerance for stupid, nonsensical action films. I had more fun than I should have, but oh well.

Unfortunately for everyone involved and especially the audience, the creators of this reboot had no idea what the F4 stand for, or what their stories should be about. This is rather dark, without charm or humor and totally ruins one of the greatest villains of Marvel comics. sure, the special effects are decent and there is potential for a somewhat good film here or there but the stereotypes and lack of an intriguing plot entirely ruin any chance of a redeeming movie experience. Very disappointing.

steady-paced and intelligent, if not too cheerless for its own good. with piercing regard, the film gives pertinent shape to the feeling of control lost and friendships formed and broken. 'fantastic four' stunningly renounces the excessively campy, current crop of superhero fantasy. there is real depth here, creatively pronouncing the contrast (and parallels) between luckless reality and that great realm of what might have been.

The first half is quite a decent origin story, not necessarily better than the one in the 2005 film but different enough to be pretty interesting. Unfortunately, the transformation of the characters into the F4 is glaringly worse in comparison and what follows is a weak second half plagued with redundant scenes and rushed, boring action. The average visuals, mediocre acting, stilted dialogues and absence of real chemistry between the underdeveloped characters mar the overall impression even more.
