Fantastic Four - Movie Review 2015 http://BestDramaTv.Net

Take the Avengers movies and remove everything you liked about them. Take out the witty banter, the intriguing backstories, and the great special effects. Also, suck out as much charisma and sex-appeal as possible from the sexy and charismatic actors. Then insert awkward silences, angry stares and copious plot holes. Voila! You have Fantastic Four!

This is the second attempt at a bigscreen Fantastic Four and it makes the first look like a classic. Director Josh Trank (who brought us the intriguing Chronicle) updates the storyline by turning the main characters into college students who teleport to another dimension to become FANTASTIC. Despite this, the whole movie crumbles into a steaming pile of stuff-we’ve-seen-before. There are too many problems here to count but I think the biggest issue has to be the writing. It never allows the characters to develope individually OR as a team, which is supposed to be The Four‘s biggest challenge. I also wonder how they managed to make magnetic actors like Jamie Bell, Miles Teller and especially Michael B. Jordan, look so BORING. It’s as if someone was standing off-camera and whispering, “STOP BEING AWESOME! No one wants that in Fantastic Four!” Jordan has a few moments where his personality shines through, but they’re so out of character for the film, they might have been improvised. Bell’s version of “The Thing” is especially pathetic. He’s a terrifying pile of attack-rocks, but he constantly crumbles into cries of “Help me, Reed!” I’m a big Jamie Bell fan, after watching him all season on TURN: Washington Spies, so this was especially disappointing for me. I’ve never loved Kate Mara but she’s even more expressionless and void here than ever before. The boys all seem to love her “Sue Storm,” but probably because she is ONCE AGAIN, the only woman in a room packed full of dudes.

I’d like to give Fantastic Four an F, but am settling for a D because my daughters insist it wasn’t THAT bad. They also thought it was confusing and REALLY disappointing for a Marvel flick, but the girls still enjoyed watching The Four show off their powers. If you’re planning to take your kids, know that Fantastic Four is rated PG-13. It offers the same weak profanity and violence we expect from a Marvel picture (like gross exploding heads! EWWW!), but none of the fun. If your kids INSIST on seeing a superhero movie this weekend, you’d be better off just taking them to see Ant-Man again. http://BestDramaTv.Net
