'Fantastic Four (2015)' is genuinely one of the most boring superhero films I've seen in a long time. This vapid and soulless studio affair feels like the product of several suited silhouettes and is indicative of everything wrong with both the genre and the studio system as a whole, as it totally encapsulates the phrase 'running out of steam' and was gutted of its entire middle portion. It seriously seems as though no-one involved could muster up more than a sigh's worth of enthusiasm, truly appearing as though the entire feature was only made so that Fox could keep hold of the rights to the franchise. The picture bizarrely has very little of the four actually doing anything fantastic until the underwhelming finale. The tone is so dour that even the quote unquote 'fun stuff' is bland and, frankly, a chore to watch, something that could also be said of the entire piece. 4/10

I saw this on TV and after 40 minutes I was thinking "this is slow to get going", after an hour I thought it would surely improve soon, after 90 minutes I realized I'd just wasted 90 minutes of my life but I still kept watching...Rubbish plot, poor dialogue, so-so acting.Best avoided.

This movie may have confused me more than any movie ever has before. It's not awful, in the beginning. The introductions are informative but not overdone. Comedy is existent and has a good tone. It's not full of puns and crap like "language!" that you get in the MCU. Yet then the pace is about to pick up and...it doesn't. But wait, later in the movie the pace is setting itself up for liftoff and...the movie is over. It feels like the audience spends the entire movie waiting for the movie to start. This is disappointing because it had a lot of promise starting out and never lived up to it.

Guys do you wanna know why this movie is made? Because of $$$$$$$ obviously. The plot is empty, the script is bad, the story is broken, and most of the acting is awkward. My question is where's the director's cut of the film? Daredevil Director's cut was good (better than the theatrical cut) and fans where happy. I don't blame Josh Trank because the studio trash it not him. Do you want to watch a good Fantastic Four movie? watch the one in 2005 because that film has a lot of heart compare to this film and I'm a fan of that. Don't watch the Fantastic Bore.
