cartsghammond This is by far the worst movie i have seen in the cinema, with a potentially amazing cast this movie is boring from start to finish. i would honestly rather poke my eyes out than watch this movie again... DO NOT WATCH

Oliver Thatcher Watson After watching the bore that was Suicide Squad, I didn't think it could get worse. But, this film proved me so wrong, that it's barely even funny anymore. Despite me really not liking Suicide Squad, this movie somehow makes that film look like a cult classic, as this movie is so incredibly uneventful and painfully boring, that it's debatable whether or not it's more fun to stare at a wall. This is because this movie tries to set up another movie that never happens while completely forgetting to make a good movie on its own. Literally nothing happens in this movie. All it is is exposition. It sets up the fantastic four universe, and nothing more. It stretches throughout the entirety of this film, which can make this movie extruciatingly boring. And no, there's nothing about this movie that isn't bad. While the actors did a decent job in their roles, the script and scenes are so bland, that nothing really worked. The special effects in this film are attrocious for the amount of money this movie needed to be made. Nothing was convincing whatsoever, and the fact that they were so below subpar for the amount of money used for this movie really makes me question humanity somewhat. Overall, there's not a single thing that's good about this film. It is so boring and slow that even the worst films can be more of a joy to watch than this, as this is an absolute painful slog of a movie.

view_and_review I wasn't even a fan of the first FF, nor the second, so I really didn't think I'd like the reboot.Occasionally Marvel makes a mistake ala Hulk, Spider Man 3 and Fantastic Four. Correcting that mistake with a remake has not been the answer (ala Incredible Hulk, Amazing Spider Man and Fantastic Four 2015). They should do with the failed solo acts what they did with the Hulk and make them part of a collaborative effort.When Hulk came out I was devastated because he is one of--if not my favorite--comic book character. His two solo movies were atrocious. Then they put him on a team and all was right with the world. No, Hulk couldn't carry a movie by himself but he could certainly be a strong team member. Maybe FF can't carry movies by themselves but maybe they would be excellent in a team member role (like helping the avengers). That's the only future I see for them.

lankychris I wasn't expecting much. In fact, I was looking forward to a terrible movie. As someone who grew up on Mystery Science Theater I was looking forward to a total garbage movie, and boy did this deliver.The first thing that bothered me about this movie was that although it tossed around a lot of science terms thrown around, there wasn't even anything remotely believable about the science. It was like they didn't consult any actual scientists, but just wrote the scenes using a bunch of jargon in an attempt to sound cool.Then there is the choice to make the Fantastic Four high school kids. Who made that decision? There is no reason for them to be 18/19 years old.But the biggest problem is that the movie lacks a plot. It literally does not have a much of a story at all. All that happens is they get their powers, barely anything else. They have a brief clash with Doom, but that's it. There is no build up, there is not tension. This movie is truly terrible.
