First time watching FANTASTIC FOUR (2005) | Movie Reaction!

This film is a classic to me. It’s not the best superhero movie, but the best Fantastic Four movie. Plus the actors are the best choices for them.

I still blame Avi Arad for turning these movies into cheap toy commercials

[@DarkPaladin24]

This and the sequel still turned out better than the 2015 version.

[@flynnoldman3542]

When Chris Evans was cast as Captain America, at first I thought it was a bad choice. He ended up being perfect for both roles.

[@DarkPaladin24]

@@flynnoldman3542 my first thought was "He's already the Human Torch. Let someone else play him." Then I saw the first movie and was like, "Okay, he can stay as Captain America."

[@vincentsweargen8436]

"Flame On!" is Johnny's battle cry. It's also a mental trigger to activate his power. He doesn't really NEED to say it, he just LIKES saying it.

[@Delta-sj9dy]

Earnie the bartender's a real hero in this movie. Quick to defend Ben's honor reminding his patrons he's the first astronaut from Brooklyn.

[@BobSingerDaGunslinger]

The powers come from their psychology. Johny is a hothead, Sue felt unnoticed and invisible, Reed was flexible, and Ben was strong and solid.

[@flatebo1]

Their powers are also the four elements of classical philosophy - Earth (Ben), Air (Sue), Fire (Johnny) and Water (Reed). Dr. Doom is the fifth element of Eastern philosophy - Metal.

There's also a sequel to this called Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

The connection between force fields and invisibility is that the characters are said to be using force fields to bend light around them so as to be invisible.

[@maxvickrey4357]

Also the Incredibles are totally based of the fantastic four in the comics with the mom having the same powers as reed Richard's and the fact the us four of them if you don't count Jack Jack also that was a big part of the comics was the fantastic four being heros but also having kids being a family

[@bigdream_dreambig]

@@maxvickrey4357 Not to mention that the Dad has Ben's strength (though not his rocks) and the Son has Johnny's speed and recklessness (though not his flame).

Hi, Addie! The Incredibles were inspired by the Fantastic Four, and have similar powers. When the FF were created, the inspirations for their powers were the 4 elements- Ben is earth, Johnny is fire, Sue is air, and Reed is water.

🤔 Interesting. I don't think I'd have ever made the water connection on my own.

[@grahamwatkins4865]

Fun Fact Addie the fantastic four is marvels first family. It was their first superhero team for the marvel universe. Stan Lee has also stated that Doctor Doom is one favorite villains he’s ever created.

[@c-mc]

One of the best superhero movies of the 2000s IMO and they're actually called "Marvel's First Family" because they're the first characters introduced in the comics ever since the company was rebranded to Marvel in 1960

[@danharris5999]

I thought they got the bickering between Johnny and Ben perfectly. Michael Chiklis was a huge fan since childhood and wanted so badly to play the Thing. And that is the comics correct name.

[@BeastrealDT]

I really enjoyed the sequel, "The Fantastic Four: The Rise Of The Silver Surfer". The Surfer has an interesting backstory. ✌️❤️🌹

[@therorylong]

Reed is always trying to stretch himself too thin - becomes Elastic. Johnny is a hothead - becomes Fire. Sue feels unseen - becomes Invisible. Ben is as solid as a rock - becomes rock. Doom is hard and cold - becomes Steel.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

You're exactly right to make the connection with The Incredibles. When those of us who were familiar with the Fantastic Four watched The Incredibles for the first time, 🤦‍♂ was a pretty common reaction.

[@johndnole]

As someone who has been a fan of the FF in comics since the late '70s, it was so fun to see you enjoying this movie through fresh eyes! Maybe try the sequel, Rise of the Silver Surfer, with the same cast.

[@mattsmith1318]

Now you get to see Captain America and his original superhero role❤

[@TheDeconstructivist]

I honestly think this film was ahead of its time. There are ways the villain was different than the comic book (which upset some fans), but it's such a good time! Just great personality, a lot of fun, and a lot of heart. Surprisingly good special effects, too. And the sequel is even better, imo. Make sure you watch it, also!

[@Emily-tb1cp]

Please continue with Star Trek. I would love to see that. 🖖

[@Robotic_Crafter]

So excited to see your reaction. And even better, these characters are already getting their own introduction into the MCU. There's an MCU Fantastic Four coming in a few years starring Pedro Pascal aka The Mandalorian.

[@EntertainmentFan11]

And Joseph Quinn from Stranger Things 4. Y'know, Eddie Munson.

[@c-mc]

next year actually

[@roystoyscomics1361]

Their cosmic powers relate to their personality. Reed is always reaching outside the box because of his intellect, Johnny has a temper...a bit of a hot head, Sue feels ignored, and Ben is a strong guy afraid of becoming someone who could hurt someone like a monster. 😂 Victor Von Doom a.k.a. FF villain Dr. Doom. Ben has a catch phrase..."It's Clobberin' Time!!" Johnny's is "Flame On!". 😂

[@MrGBH]

The 90s cartoon gave some very good reasons behind why each got their specific powers They were still caught by cosmic energy, but their ship was damaged. Ben was directly exposed due to tears in his suit, Sue was trapped beneath some debris (Which ben was trying to lift), Reed was trying to reach Sue, and Johnny had been set on fire. In the comics, I don't believe they were ever elaborated upon

[@najhoant]

Michael Chiklis is a big fan of the comics and really committed to playing Ben Grimm, and whatever issues the movie has, his performance has so much heart and emotion to it. He insisted on wearing the bodysuit rather than use CGI to nail the body language and wore the fake teeth outside of filming to properly learn to speak with them

[@austingillum4807]

(Nods head) You certainly have to admire the guy’s dedication ^_^

Earth wind water and fire. Earth - the Thing(made of rock). Wind - invisible woman ( invisible force fields, just like the wind. Water - Mr. Fantastic( can form into any shape like water). Fire - human torch.

[@Cifer77]

of the 3 Fantastic 4 movies, I think this one is the best. It has it's cheesy moments, but it's alot of fun

[@joshuawells835]

When rewatching this film, it helps to think of Johnny as Tony Stark in Steve Rogers' body. As for the Stan Lee cameo, this may be the only one where he cameos as a character he wrote - Willie Lumpkin the Baxter Building postman.

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Fun Fact: They are Marvel's First Family 👪. Also Stan Lee's favorite supervillain is Doctor Doom.

[@c-mc]

Reed Richards is Mr. Fantastic Sue Storm is Invisible Woman Johnny Storm is Human Torch Ben Grimm is The Thing and obviously Victor von Doom is Doctor Doom

[@najhoant]

It's kind of impressive how this movie managed to do solid stretching special effects for Reed Richards almost 20 years ago when Marvel now haven't really taken the chance with the one we saw in Multiverse of Madness or with Ms. Marvel, even though she has similar powers in the comics. Maybe they'll give it more of a shot in the MCU Fantastic Four movie

[@ieyke]

It's worth noting that Namor, from Wakanda Forever, is actually fundamentally a Fantastic Four villain. Real Namor is the ruler of the Ancient Greek underwater lost empire of Atlantis (not a Central American equivalent thing), and he's in love with Sue Storm.

[@mercurywoodrose]

The key element of this movie is the family dynamics. They are a family by birth by marriage and by choice they squabble, but they all love each other. That’s what made the comic so great and that’s why the Incredibles was well incredible

[@jcastromex]

Fun Fact: "The Fantastic Four" powers are based on Earth's elements: Mr. Fantastic [Redd - water], Invisible Woman [Sue - air], The Thing [Ben - Earth], and The Human Torch [Johnny - fire]. The F.F. is considered Marvel Comics' "First Family". Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby in 1961, the are not so much superheroes but rather explorers of all things fantastic. 💕

The fantastic four was the comic book that kicked off the Marvel comics universe in 1961 and for a 10 year run it was titled and was legitimately the world‘s greatest comic magazine. So a whole bunch of comic book fans have been waiting their entire lives to see a movie that says good as those comics were back then

[@Heru3005]

I really gets overlooked these days how solid the pre-MCU Marvel movies were.

[@williamrobinson4513]

I'm glad you noticed STAN LEE'S cameo. The character he portrayed is Stan's creation from the FIRST FF comic, and THE FANTASTIC FOUR is his first MARVEL CHARACTERS that began THE MARVEL MYTHOLOGY.

He actually predates the FF. He was made for a newspaper strip in 1960.

[@TrusteftReacts]

Here is an answer to a question no one ever asked. Fantastic 4 was the first comic book of super heroes I ever bought, some time in the 80s. I fell in love with them. I liked this movie, and this reaction of course. Thanks for the video.

[@RobPryme]

Each FF member's powers were based upon one of the four cardinal elements: Johnny was fire, Reed was water, Sue was air, and Ben earth.

[@MichaelDzikowski-ms9iz]

The Thing used to fight the Hulk in the comics.

[@Wonderpalm1979]

In the world of comics The Fantastic Four are royalty. Unfortunately, the first family of Marvel have never quite had a movie treatment that captures that spirit.

In the comics, Doom is a cross between Tony Stark and Dr. Strange. His mother made a deal with the devil, so he learned magic to try to save her soul. He also has a genius level intellect.

[@GMmaster99]

Which is funny because RD jr is going to play Dr Doom in the MCU

[@FixTheLanes]

​@GMmaster99 that's because Marvel has crashed and burned with almost everything post endgame. That's why they went back to RDJ for dr doom instead of another actor and it's why that upcoming movie will be another pile of garbage imo.

[@solrachernandez3389]

In the comics it was explained that them getting their powers was no accident. The anomaly they were studying in space was near a mysterious planet. The inhabitants of that world sent out the wave which gave the Fantastic Four their powers

[@christopherwall2121]

I read that arc. It had some good stuff, like Ben discovering the planet's ruler had dumped everyone else who'd become a monster into a ghetto and leading an uprising, and some really bad stuff, like Johnny getting that stupid soul-bonding thing to a bird girl and Sue once again being written as a wet blanket nag about it.

[@jgrado3]

I always get a thrill out of seeing the stars of Nip/tuck (Doom) and The Shield (Ben) go head-to-head in this film. Genius move.

11:36 actually, Incredibles mostly just ripped off the FF4: the mother stretched, the father was invulnerable [though not rock-looking] and as you mentioned, the daughter turned invisible and had force fields.

Say what you want to say, I love the way Jessica Alba played Susan Storm in these movies. She was beautiful, intelligent, sassy and strong.

[@matthewgreganti4838]

I really enjoy this movie. It was just before Marvel found their legs, but it isn't the worst superhero movie. Sure Dr. Doom could have been more comic accurate, but this is fun, well cast, and has some good superhero action.

[@FeaturingRob]

You have met Reed Richards before in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, but Reed was played by John Krasinski. For a long time, everyone wanted a Fantastic Four reboot to star Krasinski and his real life wife, Oscar-nominee Emily Blunt (who was the first casting choice for Natasha Romanov/Black Widow in Iron Man 2). The new Fantastic Four is cast and is as follows: - Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic) - Yep, The Mandalorian himself! - Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/Invisible Girl) - Lots of movie work, also played Princess Margaret in seasons 1 & 2 of The Crown - Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/Human Torch) - Eddie from Stranger Things. - Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing) - currently on The Bear. Oh...and Doctor Doom has been recast with Robert Downey, Jr. But, it's not entirely clear if he is Victor von Doom, or an different Dcotor Doom. However, RDJ will be in the next Avengers films as the big bad. Reed Richard in these Fantastic Four movies is Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd (pronounced YO-an Griffith). He was the Titanic officer who went back for survivors after the sinking and rescued Rose in Titanic. He was also known for his television role as Horatio Hornblower in several made for TV movies called Hornblower, which told the story o a British Royal Navy officer as he rises from Midshipman to the top of the chain of command during the Napoleonic Wars. They only covered to the point where Hornblower became Captain of the List. Ben Grimm is played by another TV actor, Emmy-winner Michael Chiklis who is best known for the series The Commish and The Shield. In the Commish he was a Police Commissioner who was a lot like his Ben Grimm character, a sweet and lovable family man who is a great cop. In The Shield, he was a sleazy, dirty cop who was into everything...and won an Emmy for it. As a kid growing up, he had a dream of playing Ben Grimm. When he got the role, he was over the moon. In many ways, Chiklis is the heart of both Fantastic Four movies...his love of Ben Grimm is obvious, even when he's playing the sad moments.

[@x_trio_3_po333]

Ioan Gruffudd was also in "San Andreas" (2015) where he played a not so likable character who receives a very gruesome death. BTW for me, Pedro is always Joel Miller. But thanks for all the info on the new FF. Hopefully, it will be much better than the failed 2015 reboot.

These movies weren't as bad as people made them out to be. The only fault was how the handled the second one and honestly had it come out a few years later it probably would have been more faithful. Sadly, these movies came around a time where studios were still hesitant about going full comic book and honestly were quite resentful. Wasn't till Dark Knight and Iron Man that things got better after comic book movies hit a bit of a rut between 2004 and 2007 with many lukewarm or straight up bad sequels, like Spider-Man 3, Blade Trinity, X-Men Last Stand.

In the comics, Dr. Doom doesn't have powers himself....at least not in the beginning. His powers came from a power suit, similar to Iron Man.

[@chandlermorgan708]

7/10 A pretty good film As a reader of the comics, I was really excited to finally see a movie about my favourite characters. I've learned that a FF film was in "development hell" for some decades, so when it finally came out, obviously I rushed to the theater. And, I was not disappointed at all. Of course it's not as good as X-Men 2 or Spider-Man (the original, with Tobey Maguire), but it's good for what it aims to be: a sci-fi/action movie about comic book characters. You have to understand that the Fantastic Four are not as popular as other heroes, like Iron Man i.e., besides, their stories always covered the most strange, bizarre, far out things imaginable. And, because they are a family, there are many corny moments in the movie, but the comics too have those moments, then you just have to "let it go", to really enjoy the story.

[@Secondcityreyn]

17:06 Victor really said "OUT, AM I?"

[@karabearcomics]

The reason there's some similarities between the Incredibles and the Fantastic Four is because it's kind of intentional. Both are families, with four people in the main cast, but the powers have a lot of alignment, too. Sure, they're distributed differently, but you still get super strength, elasticity, and invisibility/force fields. Sure, the fire powers were swapped out for super speed, but such is as it is. There's even a parallel with the comics version of the team in two other ways: for one, their main villain has no powers (Doctor Doom in the comics doesn't have any powers, but he is a omni-disciplinary scientist and knows almost as much magic as Doctor Strange) and the child of the primary couple is one with unlimited potential. While Jack-Jack in the Incredibles has every power, Franklin Richards (Reed and Sue's son) is a mutant with the ability to alter reality. No Fantastic Four movie has been particularly well received, and the Incredibles (the first one) is seen by many to be the best adaptation of the team, despite not being one in actuality. Let's hope the MCU does a better job (not holding my breath). But, just know that there are four Fantastic Four movies currently (fittingly): this one, as well as a follow-up in Rise of the Silver Surfer, a 2015 reboot film (often considered the worst of the lot), and a 1994 movie which was never officially released. That last one may not be good, but it's worth a watch (especially since it has the most comic-accurate Doctor Doom we've seen in live action), especially after hearing the backstory behind it: The studio with the film rights to the Fantastic Four needed to make a film in a certain amount of time, or the rights would revert back to Marvel. So, they hired Roger Corman, who was known for making movies on the incredibly cheap, to produce. It's unknown if he knew the plan from the start, but the cast definitely didn't know that the idea was to film it but never release it, because the contract only said that they needed to make a film in the certain amount of time, not anything about distribution. Much of the cast paid their own money to go to conventions to promote the film, seeing it as potentially their big break. It was only later that it was revealed that said film wasn't going to be released, though it had a screening at a comic convention, I believe. A tape of the film began circling through the fan community, and has a cult status as the-movie-that-never-was. It's better than it should be for an ashcan copy of a film, but its circumstances means that there's also a lot left to be desired. It's definitely an experience, though.

It's been a long time since I've seen this movie. Used to love the cartoon when I was a kid. This was pretty fun. Back when Marvel wasn't rapidly releasing movies yet. CGI was still coming into its own too, at this point. Great reaction. I forgot how enjoyable this movie was.

[@dizzyrascal5015]

I'll never understand the hate behind this movie. The characters were comic accurate especially Ion Gruffudd as Mr Fantastic and Michael Chiklis as The Thing who Stan Lee has openly stated is his favourite performance by an actor in any Marvel movie. Even Chris Evans did an amazing job at Johnny Storm even if he didn't have the physical appearance of the character. MCU has not even come close to casting better actors for the role.

[@christopherwall2121]

​​@@AddieCountsSomething you need to understand about Sue. She was created in the 60's, by a dude, and as such was pretty neutral bordering in submissive at a lot of times during the comic's history. She's been written much better over time, but sometimes writers *over*compensate for the past. This leads to a phenomenon my friends call "Scary Sue", where she's written as someone who could totally kill anyone if she wanted to, and that she knows it. The key is in finding a balance between these two extremes.
