FantasticFour is a film that people wanted to hate from the start. First, there was the controversial casting of Michael B. Jordan as the traditionally white character Johnny Storm; shortly following this was the discovery that Victor Von Doom was a computer hacker instead of a brilliant inventor; finally, there was the casting itself, which involved younger characters just finishing high FantasticFour. This week's films. Reviews in chronological order (Total 8 reviews) A Story of Children and Film review â Mark Cousins's 'spine-tingling' visual essay. More film reviews Directedby Josh Trank on a script co-written by he, Slater and Simon Kinberg, the film received largely negative reviews from critics and audiences alike and was a box office bomb, only grossing $168 million against its $150 million budget. Now with the updated reboot of Fantastic Four, the Fox-inherited Marvel property moves into Weird Science territory. For its first half, at least, the new film is a story about a nerdy, TheFour fight amongst themselves and take off for separate adventures, occasionally coming together for unbelievably convenient collisions. Ben's story is the most compelling, while the others' issues become repetitive. The film also includes its share of logical inconsistencies, as well as overly familiar and underdeveloped themes. soal matematika kelas 1 sd penjumlahan dan pengurangan. A Lot or a Little? What you will—and won't—find in this movie. What's the Story? In this film version of the Marvel comic FANTASTIC FOUR, egotistical Victor Von Doom Julian McMahon finances a mission into outer space in which four of his employees are zapped by a radioactive cloud that alters their DNA according to their sense of self. Romantically wishy-washy Reed Ioan Gruffudd turns elastic, his feeling-ignored girlfriend Susan Jessica Alba turns invisible, her hotheaded brother Johnny Chris Evans becomes the "human torch," and Reed's best friend and enforcer, Ben Michael Chiklis, gets stony. Von Doom is also zapped, and his body slowly changes to a human-metallic alloy. When he loses control of his billion-dollar corporation, he decides to take his revenge on The Fantastic Four. He sets out to eliminate them one by one, beginning, so he thinks, with the emotionally insecure and physically unstoppable Ben. Talk to Your Kids About ... Families can talk about how superpowers change the characters' lives in Fantastic Four, as they must decide how to use them, for public good, for personal gain, or to settle personal grudges. How are anxieties, competitions, and quarrels exacerbated by these changes? How is Susan's situation different from the men's, as she feels the need to mediate their arguments? How do the four friends learn to appreciate their differences as well as their similar situations, as "freaks," celebrities, and heroes? What is the appeal of superhero movies? How does this one compare?

This is rather dark, without charm or humor and totally ruins one of the greatest villains of Marvel comics. sure, the special effects are decent and there is potential for a somewhat good film here or there but the stereotypes and lack of an intriguing plot entirely ruin any chance of a redeeming movie experience. Very disappointing. Super Reviewer Jun 20, 2016 By far the worst superhero film ever made. Possibly one of the worst films I've ever seen, and trust me, I've seen a lot of awful movies. Super Reviewer Jun 04, 2016 This film was atrocious. I can't believe how much they dropped the ball on this one... Let me explain the positives/negatives. Positives 1. The scene with Reed and Ben as kids was handled okay. 2. Victor von Doom killing people in the hallway looked creepy and not that bad. 3. The cast is trying despite given a terrible script. 4. There is potential because of Josh Trank directing, who did direct Chronicle which is my favourite found footage film. Negatives 1. The performances; every character sounds like they are contractually obligated everytime they speak. Nobody feels like a person the acting is very mechanical and dry. Even though the cast is good and I can tell they are trying the things they are saying just don't work and the jokes don't hit! 2. The tone; this film takes itself way too seriously. The jokes if there are any! don't hit at all, this film is so uninspired, it makes the previous Fantastic Four movies look good, because at least you kind of laugh at how bad they are but this film takes itself too seriously. Serious tones only work for certain films like The Dark Knight, but it doesn't work here! 3. The villain; what happened!? Victor von Doom is a joke in this film, not only is he weak but he has no motivation. He is just a bad guy and he looks horrible! At least in the 2005 Fantastic Four they atleast got Dr. Doom's costume right, here they attempt to translate him on the big screen but they do it completely wrong! Dr. Doom is one of the most badass villains and they took a complete dump all over him! 4. The final battle is atrocious, this whole film is boring lacking any action. Now we finally get an action scene but it is terrible and forgettable. One punch and Dr. Doom is defeated. No epic showdown, nothing! Good job guys.... Overall This might actually be my least favourite comic book film. Don't watch this movie, don't even watch it on Netflix like I did. Poor Josh Trank, he was treated like an animal by 20th Century Fox. I'm just waiting until Fox gives Fantastic Four back to Marvel. All of those positives I listed aren't enough to be redeeming qualities. Absolutely disappointing excuse of a film. Super Reviewer May 30, 2016 "Fantastic 4" is more a fantastic two-and-a-half. The rest just sucks. Super Reviewer It is a good film, even that after the middle the quality gets down, it doesn't deserve your bad opinions!!! Besides it's better then the two first movies. 20 of 221 users found this helpful20201 Fantastic Four 7/10 STARS! PERFECT- Directing, Pace, Acting, Script, Cast & CGI.

Script was pretty flat and the film was just not that entertaining. The effects, especially with Johnny Storm, were pretty good but that was about it. Julian McMahon as Victor Von Doom was about as good as the acting got and that's not saying much. Nov 25, 2013 It's watchable, and would probably benefit from going for some M-rated content. And some of the casting was atrocious. The casting of Chris Evans Scott Pilgrim VS The World, The Losers, Push, Sunshine, Cellular as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch was not one of these bad casting decisions. In fact, Evans, along with Australian actor Julian McMahon who is much more attractive than his father, Australian ex-Prime Minister, Sir William McMahon almost managed to salvage the film. McMahon portrays the antagonist, Doctor Doom. Other than the rest of the casting choices, I have a few more problems with this film. The depressingly fake mise en scène being among them; mainly the terrible direction of extras in the film. The fact that these completely normal people are whacked straight in the face with a super-power granting cloud, 15 minutes in to a two hour plus film, without ever really finding out about how they lived as humans, also doesn't go very far towards helping their case. Sure it's loud, but in an effects driven action film, that has terrible effects, you have to push really hard to come up with something good, and Fantastic 4 did not push hard. It'll be very interesting to see what happens from here. I know there's a rubbish sequel and all but that's not what I mean. I'm talking about Captain America The First Avenger. Chris Evans is playing the eponymous protagonist in the film, which is another Marvel pump-out. So, despite the comics all being intertwined, it doesn't really seem like Johnny Storm and Steve Rogers will never meet. Unless they reboot Fantastic 4, which I wouldn't mind except that they wouldn't be able to have the only good choice of the 4 not being able to reprise his role. All in all I could basically take it or leave it. Fantastic 4 is not the kind of film that makes me want to kill myself after watching, but it probably wasn't worth watching the second time round I just put myself through to write this review. Sure there's about a scenes worth of human emotion, and a grand total of probably two laughs, and I could understand that there's people out there who do like the film. But from my point of view, I honestly gotta say I'm glad that Marvel left this kind of film style behind. -Gimly Super Reviewer Mar 18, 2013 Competent entertainment, and a fun feuding dynamic between youngish heroes not quite ready for the limelight, but it's basically just the Marvel Origin Story Template applied once more. Jessica Alba can't act, but Julian McMahon as Dr. Doom is one of the better villain performances in this stable. Meh. Super Reviewer Nov 18, 2012 Pretty good superhero film, The story was a little silly, Acting not very clever, Quite entertaining though, Some good effects and action makes it worth watching.
