fantastic 4 is not the worst movie ever, its just very mediocre, but what makes it stand out is all those little decisions made that make you question "what were they thinking?". its very apparent that this is the product of two different visions: one from the director and the other from the studio, and the second part is where you can tell the studios heavy hand. the drama behind this production seems like a more interesting story honestly.

the directors idea was to go for a more horror/monster movie vibe, and i reckon if follow thru, it would have been a more coherent movie. would it have a been a good "fantastic 4" movie? that i don't know. I have no issue in them trying to make the FF4 franchise into a gritty, dark version, but to to me as it feels like the characters lend themselves more to the camp territory. The "thing" lacks its humor, and his trademark catchphrase comes from his abusive brother, as he about to bully him. its just a simple quick thing, but it feels so odd. also , young Reed Richards uses the power of several Nintendo 64s to power an inter-dimensional machine. talk about playing with power .

at the end , this is a bland , boring, forgettable movie , just like the "Green Lantern". Remember "Green Lantern"? no? its ok. not many do.
