![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Miles Teller and especially Kate Mara make Ioan Gruffodd and Jessica Alba look like Oscar-winners, Teller looks far too wooden and out of his depth as a leader and Mara is incredibly mechanical. 'Fantastic Four' has only one good performance, the rest are poor. The music has some haunting parts but at best generic and not much stands out. Then again he doesn't deserve all of the blame as most of the film's failures falls at the door of producer/studio interference. Josh Trank clearly wasn't the right director for this, directing with little flair or involvement with the story. The special effects are at best perfunctory and some of them look pretty bad actually, much prefer the look of The Thing in the Tim Story-directed films here The Thing looks too much like a rock monster. The editing is both sloppy and choppy, not only looking cheap but in particular severely affecting the storytelling. Some of the film does look quite good, with slick photography, darkly atmospheric lighting and audacious production design. It is ironic that the best thing about the film was the thing that was attracting the most negative publicity before release due to his race. Jordan is a cool, commanding and likable Johnny/Torch, and the only one in the cast who tries and succeeds to do something with the way the characters are written. Oddly enough, 'Fantastic Four' is not completely irredeemable. Although it is often considered one of the worst superhero/comic book films ever made, this reviewer has yet to properly see the 1990s incarnation, but it does have to be irredeemably bad to be worse than this. ![]() The 2005 film and its sequel, both directed by Tim Story, were not great films (the former was somewhat mediocre, though the sequel was an improvement) but even with their faults they were much better than the reboot. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 2 / 10 There are many adjectives to describe Fantastic Four- unfortunately "fantastic" isn't one of themÄespite being somebody who enjoys superhero films as much as the next person, this 'Fantastic Four' reboot has to be down there with one of the worst. ![]()
