Fantastic Four

Writer's picture: Michelle ContrerasMichelle Contreras

In Marvel’s latest reboot, Fantastic Four, it seems as though they failed miserably in trying to create a flawless superhero movie—and when I say that, you just know that the movie is downright disappointing.

The film commences by introducing the young genius Reed Richards going through trials and tribulations with his new teleportation device. No one seems to pay attention or truly care about his work until his soon-to-be best friend Ben Grimm comes along. Reed and Ben thrive together through their years to make someone notice their hard work and make a difference in the world—this is where Franklin Storm comes along and gives them a full ride to Baxter Building for their ingenuity.

In Baxter Building they gain some new co-workers; Victor Domashev, Sue Storm, and Johnny Storm, who all happen to be your ordinary geniuses, and together they figure out what interdimensional travel is all about.

I have so many things to say about this movie that I wish were good ones. For starters, it is so boring. Seriously, it is probably the lamest film Marvel has adapted. Contrary to the other movies, the graphics weren’t even breathtaking. The one time we FINALLY change settings and enter a battle scene, it lasts two minutes. They made Doctor Doom seem so weak and vulnerable and also gave him some new powers in this movie which is truly unnecessary when the character is already a perfect villain. Last but certainly not least, the acting was extremely dull. I felt depressed just looking at these monotone, boring “heroes.”

Overall, Fantastic Four was a huge letdown. As a die-hard Marvel fan, I was really upset that this movie was so rushed and discouraging considering the original film was pretty great.

Fantastic Four is rated PG-13 for its intense sci-fi action violence and some mature language. I give this film 2 out of 5 stars.

Rating: 2/5
