Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

One of the best films i have seen

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

After watching the bore that was Suicide Squad, I didn't think it could get worse. But, this film proved me so wrong, that it's barely even funny anymore. Despite me really not liking Suicide Squad, this movie somehow makes that film look like a cult classic, as this movie is so incredibly uneventful and painfully boring, that it's debatable whether or not it's more fun to stare at a wall. This is because this movie tries to set up another movie that never happens while completely forgetting to make a good movie on its own. Literally nothing happens in this movie. All it is is exposition. It sets up the fantastic four universe, and nothing more. It stretches throughout the entirety of this film, which can make this movie extruciatingly boring. And no, there's nothing about this movie that isn't bad. While the actors did a decent job in their roles, the script and scenes are so bland, that nothing really worked. The special effects in this film are attrocious for the amount of money this movie needed to be made. Nothing was convincing whatsoever, and the fact that they were so below subpar for the amount of money used for this movie really makes me question humanity somewhat. Overall, there's not a single thing that's good about this film. It is so boring and slow that even the worst films can be more of a joy to watch than this, as this is an absolute painful slog of a movie.

I wasn't even a fan of the first FF, nor the second, so I really didn't think I'd like the reboot.Occasionally Marvel makes a mistake ala Hulk, Spider Man 3 and Fantastic Four. Correcting that mistake with a remake has not been the answer (ala Incredible Hulk, Amazing Spider Man and Fantastic Four 2015). They should do with the failed solo acts what they did with the Hulk and make them part of a collaborative effort.When Hulk came out I was devastated because he is one of--if not my favorite--comic book character. His two solo movies were atrocious. Then they put him on a team and all was right with the world. No, Hulk couldn't carry a movie by himself but he could certainly be a strong team member. Maybe FF can't carry movies by themselves but maybe they would be excellent in a team member role (like helping the avengers). That's the only future I see for them.

There was nothing Fantastic about this movie, not a second or a scene in which you can say "wow, now that was cool". I understand in the world of superhero movies disbelief is seriously suspended, but to spend over half the movie with the most boring backstory imaginable (not clever, not funny , kid gets slapped around, teacher is an ass, at least have some justice prevails moments). The very second Miles Teller's pathetically weak face appears there is no doubt that the rest of this movie is going to continue to suck cause there is no way that face is going to save it. Oooh, how interesting , looking at books in the library and awards in the hallway. I think the test monkey was more into his role than any of the rest of them, and with the back story given who would care about them anyway? Source material is there for a reason and the wheel need not be reinvented to attract some imaginary movie going genre. Tell a good story with characters people care about, add some humor that isn't stupid or just plain wrong (waterboarding in 4th dimension?) Bad military guys or are those corporate suits we're supposed to not like, who the hell knows or cares. Here kids, just sit up to these chairs and test this high tech equipment, no safety or supervision required....yay, it worked first time, fist bump, uh grab (actually mildly funny moment) Does Sue like Reed now? Who knows, who cares? Oh, and let's not forget to throw in a "it's clobberin' time " just for nostalgia's sake. Time for Fox to get out of the Marvel business and in 10 years or so perhaps revisit this and do it right (like DC and WonderWoman, it can be done with the right script, director and cast)

Guys do you wanna know why this movie is made? Because of $$$$$$$ obviously. The plot is empty, the script is bad, the story is broken, and most of the acting is awkward. My question is where's the director's cut of the film? Daredevil Director's cut was good (better than the theatrical cut) and fans where happy. I don't blame Josh Trank because the studio trash it not him. Do you want to watch a good Fantastic Four movie? watch the one in 2005 because that film has a lot of heart compare to this film and I'm a fan of that. Don't watch the Fantastic Bore.
