Well this movie lived up to all the bad hype I'd read about. If you want a good example on how not to make a superhero/comic adaption this movie can be held high as a how not to. This is a shame because they did get some good actors to play the Fantastic 4, they just didn't give them anything to do. With a pacing that moved through things faster than the Flash chugging Red Bulls, speed, and all forms of energy drinks at the same time, so much so the story never really gave the characters or their relationships to each other time to breathe. The movie didn't even both being cliched with any character as it just lightly touched upon just the tops of each cliche without even embracing the cliched, which left all the characters as nothing more than an empty shadow. It didn't even feel like the screenplay writers tried to make a good movie and their lack of passion is in about every frame of this film.
I longing for the day when Marvel gets these characters back into their fold because I would love to see what they would do with them not just with a movie but with the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well. Here's hoping that day comes soon because I wouldn't question a remake on this series but would wholly embrace it.
