*3.5 STARS!! Rent It For $5.99. You Won’t Be Sorry!!*
*I enjoyed this movie, and I don’t understand why it got such bad reviews.* It’s farfrom perfect but it isn’t THAT bad. I mean, there are hundreds of worse syfy moviesthat don’t get hammered the way this movie did. Lol. WTH’s going on here? (Probablylots of die hard loyal fans of the comic book; which I haven’t read in … years & years).LolI repeat, I enjoyed this movie. I gave it only 3.5 stars because I feel like theproduction team could have added more syfy content and syfy special effects to thestory. For example, the production team could have done a lot more with the parallelworld theme. Easily. (See, e.g., *Wikipedia: “Alternate History.”*)As it stands, there’s no reason to rewatch this movie. That’s why I recommend that yourent this movie rather than buy it. It’s just a pleasant one-shot pass time.*Favorite Protagonists:* “Dr. Storm,” “Susan Storm,” and pre-transformation “Ben.””Dr. Storm,” because the actor’s good and the black character’s not a stereotype. “Ben”and “Susan,” because both have charisma and “watchability”; and neither one is on thescreen so often that you get tired of looking at them. Instead, you want to see more ofthose characters.*”Susan’s”* a slim, blonde, attractive, semi-brainy, down-to-earth, *mad cool,* calm, andcollected *”white” chick who was raised in an (upper?) middle class black family.* Shedoesn’t have a chip on her shoulder or an axe to grind, and she speaks English properly.(There are endless possibilities for a character like that.) It’s conceivable these days thata “white” or mixed race actress could play a white-looking “Susan Storm.” And I suspect*THAT* was originally the admirable plan for the “Susan Storm” character.*Favorite Antagonist:* post-transformation Victor (Von Doom). Potentially a seriousbad azz!!ADDENDUM*Re: Changing Comic Book Story Lines, see the Playlist: “COMIC BOOKS”*by Top Tenz, […](December 24, 2015)

Not great, but definitely not worthy of the hate it generates.
I know I am in the minority here, but I don’t really understand the vitriol that this movie inspired. True, it is nothing like any other super hero movie that has come out in the past few years, but isn’t a fresh take a good thing? I feel like this story is more like how it would actually be if four people suddenly developed super powers. In most films the hero masters his/her new skills over the course of a musical montage and then is suddenly infallible and easily solves crimes/stops criminals/thwarts supervillains. This movie follows the Fantastic Four over the years long process it takes to figure out how to control/utilize their powers. I also like that they more explore the negative aspects of their new powers (usually only Ben “The Thing” Grimm views his powers in a negative light since his is the only obvious physical transformation while the other three look the same). Most cinematic superheroes think their newfound powers are cool and react to them like a kid who’s taken his dad’s Ferrari out for the first time, but seriously, if you were bursting into flames or disappearing at random and couldn’t figure out how to control it or why it would be useful you probably wouldn’t be too excited about it. I didn’t mind the dearth of action sequences (a rarity in a superhero flick) because I thought it was interesting to see the characters struggle to figure out their powers and how they would fit into the world now that they were changed. I also thought Victor was a better “villain” because he was truly a sympathetic figure (**SPOILERS**): he was essentially a friend of the four (albeit not a close one and a little closed off) but he was left behind in an alien world and left for dead and spent a year in a hellscape alone. His rage is understandable and that makes the final battle between him and the Fantastic Four that much better. Obviously you are rooting for the Four and saving Earth, but you aren’t really rooting against Victor. This movie does have its flaws. Is it ridiculous that these top government scientists are all 18 years old? Yes. Does this movie lack the requisite humor/color of the Marvel cinematic universe? Yes, but again, I happen to think a little variety in the superhero genre is not a bad thing. I don’t think this is a great film, superhero or otherwise, but it is an interesting take on the genre and I really enjoyed watching it.

A Fantastic Adventure: Glowing Review of ‘Fantastic Four’
Hello, fellow movie lovers! I just had to share my absolute adoration for the film “Fantastic Four.” This movie has it all – action, adventure, and a whole lot of heart. From the thrilling storyline to the incredible cast, every aspect of this film had me on the edge of my seat. I can’t get enough of the fantastic foursome and their epic journey to save the world. If you’re looking for a movie that will leave you feeling exhilarated and inspired, look no further than “Fantastic Four.” Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

If you like awful train wrecks of movies… this might be your thing.
If you like awful, terrible, horribly executed movies… this might be your thing. It was difficult to rate this, as on the one hand… it is so awful that even one star is too high. On the other hand, there are few times that a movie can accomplish so much awful in so little time, that it really needs to be recognized for the masterpiece of trash that it is.This is Fantastic Four pretty much in name and broad concept only. Sure there are 4 people with roughly the same powers as in the Comic… but beyond that, the source material was pretty much ignored. As usual… that was not a good thing.The casting was terrible. Generally these are competent actors, but they have been asked to play so much against type that it just doesn’t work. Michael B. Jordan, might come the closest to pulling off a convincing Johnny Storm, but the material is so poor, one simply cannot be sure.I don’t think the writers or director have ever seen or read any Comics and all they knew about Dr. Doom was his name…Anyway… the story is a jumbled mess. It is both cliched and jumbled all at once. Plot holes make up more of the story than actual plot. Characters are wildly inconsistent and behave in whatever fashion moves the next plot point forward rather than how they would actually behave.Anyway… if you are fan of awful movies that are so tragically flawed that there is no redemption in them… This movie is FANTASTIC… for what it is…

Lack of vision lets this movie down.
I had heard so much bad press and reviews of the new 20th Century Fox (20th CF) movie Fantastic Four that I didn’t go see it at the theater, nor watch the DVD of the movie. However, when it came on premium cable that I already had, I decided to watch it and see for myself just how bad it was.Before I say anything about the movie based on my viewing of it, I’ll say a few things about the storm of condemnation the movie seemed to generate. The first thing I noticed in the reviews was the uniform dislike by the fan boys, mostly based on the idea that 20th CF was just going to make a quick and cheap movie so they could retain the movie rights to FF. Apparently there is a clause in the rights contract that the studio has to make a movie at least every 7 years to keep the film rights. Since the last two FF movies weren’t stellar box office winners, the fan boys were hoping 20th CF would just skip a movie and let the rights revert to Marvel where, they hoped, it would get a much better film treatment. When 20th CF announced the new movie, they immediately hated it before it was ever made or released since that meant there would be no Marvel produced FF for at least another 7 years. So, before the movie was even released, there was a built in bias against it by a large number of the very fans the studio wanted to see it.A second controversy came up when the cast was announced. The expected big name stars were all missing and the cast was a veritable who’s who of unknown actors. Plus many of the fans were disappointed the cast didn’t look exactly like the people in the comic books. This was especially true when a black actor was cast as Johnny Storm when the comic book character was white. Some of this can just be put down to racism, but the actors on a whole were much younger than their comic book counterparts, taking away some of the familiarity the viewers felt.Another part of the controversy before the movie even opened was the rumored infighting between the director, writers, producers, and executives at 20th CF over what was the plot of the story and what was to go on the screen. Apparently, the executives at 20th CF fired the director after the movie was already shot and being edited and ordered a large number of cuts and re-shoots and also changed both the length and ending of the picture. How much this changed the picture is unknown, but it certainly meant the movie was no longer the version the director had originally envisioned.After the movie was released, the harsh criticism continued, mainly centered around the total lack of humor in the movie, the dreary acting turned in by the performers, the shortness of the movie, and the sub par special effects compared to other super hero movies. There is some indication that these were legitimate problems. Other super hero movies like Batman vs Superman, X-Men Apocalypse, and Avengers: Civil War all had budgets of around $250 million and ran about two and a half hours long. FF had a budget of $120 million and ran just an hour and forty minutes. Even FF: Rise of the Silver Surfer had a $130 million budget back in 2007. From a budgetary point alone, FF was definitely made on the, relative, cheap.A final complaint was very little actually happened in the movie. The first hour was mostly low budget expose about the origins of the characters and set up for their eventual transformation. The last forty minutes had only one real high budget special effects action scene and the rest was mostly TV grade special effects. Not necessarily bad, but certainly far cheaper and less entertaining than the quality seen in other super hero movies.Before I go on, I would like to make one side comment about the criticisms about the short length and low budget contributing to the poor performance of the film. Another movie that came out not long after FF was Deadpool. It had a budget of just $58 million, less than half of FF, and a running time of an hour and 48 minutes, just a few minutes longer than FF. With half the budget and roughly the same running time, Deadpool made $763 million, so neither budget nor running time should have been a deciding factor in the reception of FF. And, while FF was roundly criticized, it did make $168 million on its $120 million budget, so not quite the abject failure it’s made out to be. But still, that also only serves to point out that the FF could have been shot and edited into a much more enjoyable movie, making better use of both the time and resources available to the writers and director.But all that aside, what did I think of the movie? Well, first off, it cost me nothing to see, so that’s a plus from the start. Second, I’d read the comic books for years and was thoroughly familiar with the characters, so I needed no introduction to them if they had just reused the characters from the comics. Instead, the reboot started off with much younger versions of the characters in entirely different relationships to each other, so, in my opinion, the origin part of the movie was necessary. Almost an hour of introduction before they ever got their powers might be a little long, but I thought it was well enough done that I didn’t mind the relative slow pacing. Unlike a video game, a good plot doesn’t just jump straight into action without some exposé. The only early part that seemed a little rushed was the short time shown of them adjusting to their new life and practicing mastering their new powers. But even that was not really a problem. Pretty much anybody who’d read the comics already had seen all the Marvel angst their characters exhibit, moaning about how awful life had treated them and how much they hated what had happened to them. I didn’t really need more than a hint of that to bring back all the comic book memories.The part that I did find far too short was the last third of the movie, from forming the FF team till the villain shows and promptly starts trying to destroy the world. In most movies the hero team meets the villain, has a confrontation, the villain explains exactly why he’s so pissed, tells what he’s going to do, and then tries to do it. There is then a series of escalating battles with henchmen and/or evil allies that the heroes have to fight thru till the final climatic battle with the Boss character. Quite often with losses, injuries, and a crisis of confidence of one or more of the heroes that they actually will triumph in the end. This serves to give a reason to why the villain is acting the way he is and why he might be mad at the Earth in general and the heroes specifically.What should have been a good twenty to thirty minutes of continuing fighting and talking is just condensed into about five minutes of Doom showing up, saying he’s going to destroy the Earth, and then going back to his new planet and setting the Ultimate Weapon in action. The heroes then travel to Doom’s planet, have the only good extended cgi enhanced battle of the whole show, defeat him, and then return to Earth. All in all, I thought the ending seem rushed and greatly abbreviated.Could the movie have been made better? Certainly. If nothing else, a little more character development on Doom would have gone a long way to make him less of a two dimensional villain. Some information on how he transitioned from lab scientist to monster would have made him a more sympathetic foil to the heroes. Plus, the heroes would seem much more human if they’d been able to have a few moments of doubt and maybe some setbacks on the way to defeating Doom. Sure, in the final battle they did get knocked down a few times, but they just got back up and continued to have at him till they won. A better route to follow would have seen them arrive on Doom’s world and have to fight a legion of animated stone and fire monsters, reflecting both the Thing and the Torch’s power. They could have struggled against them with the typical ups and downs of battle and bouts of self doubt till eventually triumphing over them and moving on to Doom’s stronghold where they have to fight their way in and then destroy Doom’s Ultimate Weapon right after he activates it.Does what I describe sound a bit like every other super hero movie? Well, yes, but there’s a reason for that. It’s a formula that’s tried and true. When super heroes go up against a super villain, it’s not going to sound like Waiting For Godot, it’s going to eventually sound like a bare knuckle brawl in a Western saloon. After all, a super hero movie is, by definition, bigger than life. The characters have to rise and fall and rise again till they eventually triumph and postpone Gotterdammerung for another day. It’s the basis of every good comic book series and, if done right, the raison d’etre of every good super hero movie.Did Fantastic Four achieve it’s destiny in this instance? Not really, it sold it’s viewers short in the important ways and left them feeling unfulfilled. In the end, it wasn’t running time or money or casting or even mediocre special effects that let the movie down, it was the lack of a central coherent vision that reflected the comic book ethos the fans have come to expect from their cinematic universe.

UK 4k says Region B???
On the listing for the UK release of the 4K it says “Region B/2 won’t play on US players” why does it keep saying that? 4k discs are NOT region locked! Just got this in the mail today and immediately tested it and sure enough, it played perfectly fine on my 4k player despite the listing saying it won’t play on US players. For future reference, if you purchase and 4k disc from overseas, you don’t have to worry about it not playing on your player because it will. Now I should probably mention this gets 5 stars on simply the transfer alone, this is an outstanding 4k transfer and has no issues whatsoever, the movie itself is another story for another time. If you’re a disc collector and want this specific release then absolutely get it don’t believe the “won’t work on US players” crap. A 4K disc is NOT region locked.

This is not your father’s(or mother’s
Fantastic Four!Most reviewers on IMDb.com the main reason this gets panned isbecause it’s totally unlike the origin story! Ok, I canunderstand that, but fortunately for me, I was never a bigMarvel fan back in the day, so that really means nothing tome! So, I’m rating this movie under it’s own merits!!So, that all being said, as a superhero movie, this isn’t bad!It’s just like what they did with Star Trek when Abrams tookover! Totally re-wrote the cannon! So, as a Fantastic Fourmovie, it kinda sucks! Still, I found it enjoyable anddefinitely worth a watch! RP

Fantastic Four – Fantastic Movie
I put off watching this movie due to all the bad reviews. Now that I’ve seen the movie, I’m wondering if these people watched a different movie.The movie was great! It was entertaining and interesting from start to finish. I liked the prior Fantastic Four movies. I didn’t know if this would be just a re-hash of the first Fantastic Four movie or something new. This movie placed a different spin on the original plot.In this movie, Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, Johnny Storm and Victor Von Doom build a transport capsule and transport themselves to an unknown planet. They want to be the first ones there and plant a flag. The government is financing the development of the transport device in order to search for new energy sources. So, the transport device works and the four guys reach this unknown planet. We see what looks like volcanoes with green magma under the surface. They’re walking around and suddenly an explosion happens. The four try to run back to the transport capsule and get out of there. Victor falls off a cliff and the rest manage to scramble up a steep hill and into the transport capsule. Sue Storm is back at the research facility working on her computer and trying to get them back. The transporter makes it back but an explosion happens during re-entry. Sue Storm is hit in the blast and is knocked to the floor. Next we find Reed, Ben and Johnny along with Sue Storm have all recovered and they have strange powers. Victor is still on the other planet and everyone assumes he’s dead.Reed, Sue, Johnny & Ben start building another transport device. They think if they get back to the unknown planet, they can reverse whatever happened to them and reverse their powers. The government wants to get back to the planet for the new energy resources. They finish the new transport capsule and the government sends some men to go on the first test mission. Once the men teleport back to the planet, they find Victor. They bring Victor back to Earth. Once Victor is back, we find he has powers and he is very angry. Victor creates a black hole that is sucking up everything on Earth. Reed, Sue, Johnny & Ben work together to stop Victor by going up and into the black hole and landing on the other planet. They fight it out and Victor is pushed over a steep ledge. The four come back to Earth through the black hole and close it up. In the end, Sue, Reed, Ben & Johnny decide to work together as a team and are given the use of space in a government research facility. There is no resolution for Victor as we only saw him fall off a cliff. He could be back in another movie. I enjoyed these new plot twists and the CGI special effects were excellent.

Good try guys.
Never thought I’d write a review but here goes. Went in with low expectations and came out pleasantly surprised. There’s a lot this movie gets right which I’m sure people will ignore just to jump on the hate bandwagon. I’ll go over positives first. The acting was good, not Oscar worthy but it didn’t need to be.The actors played the roles they were supposed to play. Visually the film is beautiful. The biggest positive was the characters themselves. Their chemistry was fantastic(pun intended). They react how I assume people who gain inter-dimensional abilities would react. They’re terrified. Reed Richards (Miles Teller) especially. All he wants is to fix his friends and there’s a real warmth to that. A down to earth feeling. He was definitely one of the driving factors of this film. Now, onto the negatives. I kept checking the timestamp to try to figure out when things would go wrong for the movie. It had a solid start,solid middle, and then the ending was so so bad. I have no idea who decided on the pacing but it was appalling. **********SPOILERS***********I’ll just get right to it. Anything at all related to Doctor Doom takes place in the last 20 minutes of the film. Total runtime is about one hour and thirty minutes. We get such good background of Reed Richards(Miles Teller) and Ben Grimm(Jamie Bell), but the other characters just like a cliff note. We don’t even really get to see them adjust to the world as they’re confined to a military base the majority of the movie.***********END OF SPOILERS**********On a related note of not establishing characters well, there were scenes missing that I feel would’ve helped pacing a bit and help establish the villain a bit better. Victor Von Doom is an intelligent,charismatic, and borderline psychotic man obsessed with power because of his ego. This film just made him feel like a caveman who discovered fire. The dialogue during the big fight was messy too. It seemed too cheesy/awkward and I love my superhero movies to be extra cheesy but the lines were just weird. It’s like the chemistry between the characters melted away for a few minutes and became more robotic. Cool fight though.My final thoughts are mixed but I can honestly say I did enjoy this movie a lot and would recommend it. I’d definitely advise going in with an open mind. Why the 5 Stars? Simple. It was a solid superhero movie. It entertained me and kept me interested in a story I already know. I commend all the actors on trying their best. It wasn’t perfect in any way but definitely deserving of another go more than other recent films. I felt the positives outweighed the negatives. It had all the right ingredients, but not the right measurements. This film succeeds(exceeds at a few parts) at telling the story of the Fantastic 4 and fails quite terribly at the same time. A story that needed much more breathing room than the film was given. I absolutely love the things it did right, it makes me sad that are things that went so wrong. I would’ve hoped for a sequel just so they can iron out all the problems, but I believe Fox split the rights with Marvel now. So we’ll see how that goes.
