The Fantastic Four franchise is in need of another reboot! Seriously, this new take on Marvel's first family even made the 2 previous F4 movies look good.
The movie had a great start, 2nd act was a wee bit dull, and you'd be lost with the final act.
The studio had a great opportunity to finally deliver a great reintroduction of the Fantastic Four and they have so failed on this. Sure, they had the origins of how the heroes got their powers (which was a huge drag) but there weren't any justification of how they became a team and a family. There were just no proper character development nor a bond between the four, maybe except for Reed and Ben.
The film focused solely on the creation of the machine that will transport them to another dimension that they seem to have forgotten that this is a superhero flick. It was only in the third act that we finally see some action but it felt so rushed by then.
There's nothing to root for here. It was a lazy and dull attempt. I liked the casts, the effects and the mood of where the film was heading but that's just it.
The Fantastic Four deserves so much better treatment than this. I think that a sequel is already in works and but I think that they should do some major rethinking first before going into production.
The Score
Fantastic Four is now showing across Philippine Cinemas!
Oh. hey! I wanted to thank and congratulate GMovies for yet another successful block screening event! Lots of movie fans got to watch for free. Do follow them for updates on their promos!
