It wasn't that well made. That's saying something. It also had pretty bad pacing issues. Finally, it didn't get any of the feel of either the main continuity comic nor the Ultimate run.

Never saw it, but I've never really been intrigued by the concept of Fantastic Four anyway. Way too campy even for comic book standards.

Saying it was better than the older ones is like proclaiming that food is better than mcdonalds.

I mean, it's true, but it's not exactly a high bar to leap in the first place, so it's not exactly an accomplishment.

The pacing was shit, sure. It's an origin story so there's going to be a lot of needless exposition.

I liked the characters even if some were kinda dull and others didn't fit well.

I'm not real familiar with the fantastic four so any problems with not staying true to the comic books didn't affect my judgement.

I thought the effects were excellent barring Doom's face.

Definitely not worth all the hate it gets, especially when other equally poor movies in the marvel series get praised.

That's why it took me so long to watch this one, that and the fucking awful two that came before it.

The issue I have is that it has worse ratings than the other two.


That's a fucking crime.

The new one bombed at the box office and had its sequel cancelled due to its piss-poor ratings and profit.

If that doesn't tell you why it was a failure then I don't know what will.
