Fantastic Four

Too slow and dramatised superhero flick, but acceptable.

I can't say I liked the previous films and not this one. In fact, I kind of enjoyed watching this reboot. It was much better than what I have heard about it. At least it did not sound like a loud and lousy like any modern sci-fi flicks, chasing bad guys, bombing cities and downing buildings. But as a superhero and sci-fi film, it had its moment, only at the end.

Obviously the film was too slow and dramatisation was a backslash keeping the youngsters (audience) in mind. I actually expected hefty stunt sequences. Without actions, a superhero movie is like a limbless spider and toothless shark. If the web and tooth are the superpowers, then they must handle it quite smartly. So t...

I just saw this and I wasn't expecting much as I have read some really negative reviews about it online and elsewhere. Honestly, I think they were wrong. It's not a bad film at all, just not as fast paced as the previous version which I quite liked too ... mind you, I am 60+ so maybe that has something to do with it. A scifi/action film for the older generation perhaps? I really enjoyed it. I gave it 4/5 stars here.

I was actually not having great hopes for this movie giving how Hollywood have screwed up with a lot of my favourite super heroes (Spiderman, Fantastic Four, Dare Devil and a few others). Having said that maybe there was still a glimmer of hope given that some of their latest Marvel work have been rather okay. Unfortunately this is not the reboot of the Fantastic Four that I, and a dare say the fans, hoped for.

One thing that I do not understand is why the dumbass script writers that Hollywood employs always have to change the basic story of a set of characters that have a solid fan base? There was nothing wrong with the original story, and thus origin, of the Fantastic Four and the source of their powers. Maybe I am just old-fashioned b...

Better remake but with unneccessary hate

Better story than the first film with less of the annoying hollywood romantics. Could do better with the humour.

Accompanied with better graphics too as it's 2015. Of course, the mainstream hate exists because our hollywood world has its dumb morals.

It'd have to be a pretty bad film for me to think it was worse than anything featuring Ioan Gruffudd, but ten years after that attempt - this 2015 version of the Marvel franchise is as bad as they get. Michael B. Jordan is in a class of his own as "Johnny Storm" (admittedly, the best character from this rather limited choice) but the remainder of the team deliver a performance totally devoid of humour - there is simply no fun to be had in this dark, dreary telling of the four youngsters who are involved in an accident on a parallel world that leaves them with some rather interesting quirks. Soon everyone is trying to cash in on their skills - from science to the military - until their erstwhile colleague "Victor von Doom" (Toby Kebbell) arr...
