OK. It was not for OSCAR but I enjoyed (I repeat " I ", ME) the film and I had a good time with lot of pop corn.
... View MoreThis is a a really good action-adventure comedy. I have watched this countless times. It's definitely a rewatcher, like the Incredibles, the Jurassic Parks or Jumanji.The disfunctionality of the group is good to watch. Very underrated.

The 2nd attempt out of the 4 Fantastic Four films did not perform as everyone was expecting the movie was heavily criticized by both fans and especially critics. Now is the movie bad? Not really but is it some kind of underrated masterpiece? No it's not what i actually like the most about The Fantastic 4 or at least this version of it it's the cast i really love Michael Chiklis as The Thing, Chris Evans is perfect as Johnny Storm, Jessica Alba as Sue is really good and of course Ioan Gruffudd makes a pretty good Mr. Fantastic and i even enjoyed the performance of Julian McMahon i think he did a great job as Dr. Doom and it's 50 times more closer to it's source material both as a character and as a costume it looks way better than whatever the hell that was in 2015's reboot. Kerry Washington as Alicia also brings some drama or at least some moments of it and it shows that love shouldn't been judged by looks or anything, the action although there isn't very much it was handled quite good especially the final battle with Dr. Doom and i loved the Supernova moment or when Ben and Reed turned Victor into an ice cube. Now as for flaws? The film needed more action in my opinion i understand that their trying to find a cure for their "illness" but at the same time it's a Marvel film about Superheroes shouldn't it have more Fantastic Moments? Also some of the CGI don't hold up that well especially the Mr. Fantastic moments they look pretty cheesy to be honest but overall i enjoyed the performances, the characters, the action although it was limited and the humor was pretty clever especially the moments between Ben and Johnny were always great. Overall this film won't turn into a Classic in the following decades and it sure as hell wasn't made to win any Oscars but if i had to choose between this film, the 1994 one and the 2015 one? This one? is at least watchable and it's probably the best thing we'll ever get to a good Fantastic Four Movie. (8/10)
... View MoreThis is the second film of the ground zero for the super-hero teams and the first proper film ,released in cinemas, which marketing and all that good stuff, unlike the 1994 attempt. But unfortunately this film is boring as hell ,the characters are paper thin, the effects are laughable and the final battle is anticlimactic. That is the basic summary of this film.Dispute that I will give them graded for the incarnation of the Thing and the dynamic between him and the Captain America, hum, I mean the Human Torch. Now that I think about it, Marvel Studios did make a risky investment to Chris Evans back in 2011, if you take in to account that his previous attempts in a super-hero film were this film and its sequel which is equally lack-last-er.Aw and one of the best cameo from Stan"The Man" Lee! That's all.Apart these two good things the film is a let down and I think that we had to figure out from them that maybe Fantastic Four can't become a film franchise. Which is both sad and ironic, they were the very first super-hero team back in 1961 and in two decades of tries and Fox has failed four times in the row and don't get we started with Fan4stic!Now to go to why they failed both with this one and its sequel is that they didn't try to em-praise the science fiction part of the Fantastic Four. Why to leave that out? Since their inception this team is all about alien civilizations, planet-consuming entities, mad scientist and they have Doctor Flipping Doom ,one of the most awesome villains of all time. Why to make a semi-romantic comedy drama and with the 2015 they went the other way around. Edgy, greedy and anxiety ,but in the end they did the same plots more or less with the first three films. Then Fox should have sold the rights back to Marvel and cut their losses.Over all I have my doubt that we will see a decent Fantastic Four film any time soon. In all honesty that angers me to the full. I am ,at the time of this recording, 21 years old and I have seen Spiderman, Batman, the X-men, Hellboy, V from Vendeta, Sin City, Superman and of course the crew of the Avengers get good films in my life-time, why it can't happen with Fantastic 4 to?
