at least 94 and 04 kept the spirit of the characters... admittedly, I like 15 more than sikver surfer.

M Lkš To be fair, 15 takes the spirit of what I believe is the Ultimate version of the series which does have the crew as young teens/ young adults but that version was a lot more eventful and enjoyable. Everything about 15 seems like Trenk was making the sequel to his own movie than anything that was FF related, even in the alt versions.

2005's fantastic four is the worst and even the sequel rise of silver surfer and 2015 film.

[@SteveCrafts2k]

@@MilesRobinson2001 no. Fantastic 4 is inherently campy, and so it made sense that the movies too would be campy...too campy. Fan4stic is like the early 2000s movies: trying to be dark and edgy. So, it seems to me like you're bandwagoning.

[@missmangas7298]

At least, in the 2005 movie there was a few action scenes and not peoples talking in dark rooms like in Fanborestics X) Also, the characters are a bit developped and likable especially Ben in the first one.

I remember reading that Peyton Reed had a pitch for a Fantastic Four movie that would have been set in the 1960s and basically been a direct adaptation of the first few Fantastic Four comics. He apparently even designed a mock up poster for the movie that he included in his pitch that was just a recreation of the cover of Fantastic Four #1

It was alright but Shining Cat pretty much gets the big problem right, it's not an action film at all

[@MrAspiringactor]

***** Seriously, there are Disney musicals that have more action than this movie did I think the problem, though, is that Tim Story wasn't really experienced at making action films at all and, up to that point, had mostly made comedies so he probably focused more on the comedy because it's what he was more comfortable directing

[@Epsilon246]

I remember te silver surfer cartoon, in that Galactus mind-wipped the surfer so that he would have no conflicts about being his herald, which would have worked as an actuall explanation for why he didn't think to betray Galactus.

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

Hey Smeggy, I have both special editions of the Tim Story FF movies and I can confirm that the Kerry Washington/Alicia Master scenes were filmed and are in the deleted scenes features. In those scenes, Alicia showed Ben her collection of artwork and told the story of how her father taught her how to sculpt which would later go on to have a scene where Alicia more or less treats Ben's wounds and makes him feel more like a person. Not being at all funny here but it is a scene that SHOULD have been in the movie because it showed someone treating Ben like an actual person since the accident, even if she is blind. It should be noted as well that Washington's character would be brought over in animated for in the Moonscope continuation of the movie series and they would later bring back Puppet Master and they make the fact that they are related an important part in his debut episode as he asks her to join him, going so far as to try to emotionally black-mail her by reminding her that he loves her more than anything and nothing would stop that, even if they are not related by blood.

Billy Barnett I just never understood why FOX never gave the rights back to Marvel. It's not like the F4 movies they made were that profitable. They gave back Daredevil so why not F4?

[@TheAlexSchmidt]

2:00 Actually, according to Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant, who wrote Taxi, the movie did great in test screenings, so maybe that's why Fox was impressed. Fox actually was so confident in the film they signed Lennon and Garant to a deal for another film, which they wound up using on Night at the Museum instead.

Looks like I owe Jessica Alba an apology. All these years, after seeing these movies, I thought she just couldn't act. Now I see it was the director tipping his fedora as he asked her to "cry pretty". A real director, like Stanley Kubrick, would have forced her to do the same scene 100 times until her tears were real. Sure the man was as much crazy as he was a genius but he got the shots he wanted.

Tim Story's Fantastic Four movies obviously tried to be like San Raimi's Spider-Man films. The problem is that the Spider-Man trilogy had great stories, likeable characters and a good balance between drama and humor, something that these FF movies lack of.

So there like Spider-man 3 is what your saying ;)

[@nitromagilou597]

Frankly, I'd much rather watch Rise of the Silver Surfer than Spider-Man 3.

[@LinkMarioSamus]

Honestly, that comparison made me think of how different superhero movies were even a decade ago. Quite frankly, the early-to-mid 2000s now feel oddly nostalgic. The movies of that time wound up creating trends that have ultimately become tiresome (more edge and angst, over-reliance on established franchise names), but the days of LOTR and Spider-Man are still practically a world away from now. At the time it was arguably just what we all needed considering what the big movies of the mid-to-late '90s were - Independence Day? Armageddon? The Lost World? Twister? The Phantom Menace? Godzilla? I'll pass.

[@alditoification]

+JayDee284 To be honest, I just find Spider-Man 3 disappointing than bad.

At least we have some comfort knowing that the MCU's Fantastic Four will be different by being a period piece, and if the live-action One Piece is any indication, the stretchy powers of Reed Richards (played by Pedro Pascal) won't look that silly (especially since it could be set in the 60's)

On the subject of Victor going into space with them, my guess is it's a protecting investments kind of deal.

Naturally it's crazy expensive and Victor wants to make sure it goes as well as possible. So it makes some sense.

[@bladersmosh]

Nice review as usual Sean. After you review Fant4stic, could you consider doing these options as well? 1. Green Lantern 2. The Golden Compass 3. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation 4. The Lone Ranger 5. Batman V Superman What do you think? Reply if you agree Sean?

[@bladersmosh]

While The Lone Ranger is pretty bad, it's not all bad. The action and visuals are great (nominated for an Academy Award) and the acting/chemistry between Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer is a lot of fun to watch. I hope the two get together more often. But the story is bland, it goes on for to long and half the humour didn't work that well. It's a shame the movie wasn't as good as it could've been. I wanted to see them make a franchise out of this like Disney were planning (much like John Carter only that films actually good). So yeah, Sean should review it.

[@Stephen-to7jx]

If Fox had greenlit part 3, Chris Evans most likely wouldn't have played Captain America.

For what it’s worth, I actually DO like the 2004 Fantastic four movie. Sure, it’s not Endgame ; but as its own self contained thing it’s pretty enjoyable. That being said, I’m a HUGE fan of the Cosmic Marvel stuff, and needless to say, what Silver Surfer did to Galactus does nothing short of piss me off. I will give it credit for two things: Laurence Fishbourne/Doug Jones’s performance as the titular Silver Surfer, and having the good sense to not ruin Nick Fury for the following year’s Iron Man by having an original character in the Clonel.

Apparently, Galactus was made a cloud by order of then Fox CEO Tom Rothman (not the first bone-headed idea he had during his tenure). In fact, some pre-production artwork had him look closer to his comic book image: i.imgur.com/Smp8yEF.jpg

[@tedgruver7618]

From what I learned from Midnights Edge, Tom Rothman had Galactus turned into a space cloud instead of an enormous humanoid because he believed that audiences wouldn’t want to see giant robots.

Galactus has unknown godlike abilities depending on the amount of planets he has consumed. The Silver Surfer though has a specific set of powers. He can survive in any environment, He can fly in any environment (gravity or time doesn't effect him in space), He doesn't need to breath/eat/sleep/drink, has the most powerful healing factor shown in the Marvel Universe and can absorb/re-direct energy or use his own "power cosmic" for energy shields/Energy Beams/ Energy Blasts etc. There are other powers that have shown up from time to time, for "The Almighty Lazy Writer Plot Convienience" then disapearing (Like Superman's), but these powers that I have listed are the Surfers basic powerset that hasn't changed since his creation.

1. We're assuming the Surfer knew all along a hundred percent that would work. If he's wrong, he loses the people he cares about so it's one hell of a risk to take. In the same way the comic version sees life as unimportant at first, faced with a seemingly all powerful entity only his family matters. This is similar reasoning to Tony initially not doing the Endgame time heist. 2. Few people are prepared to die for a bunch of people they haven't met. Hell, we won't recycle properly for a bunch of people we haven't met.
