I went in expecting cheese, I went in expecting something similiar to the 1990 Captain America or even the 1970's Spiderman but what I got was something altogether different.
This origin story Fantastic Four movie cost 1 million dollars to make which back in 1994 made it a high budget film. The fact it isn't well known and considered mainstream is because it's so bad it's been brushed under the carpet.
With embarassing special effects, a cast who simply can't be bothered and some ridiculous over the top performances & soundtrack the whole thing is truly abyssmal.
I don't know what it is with the Fantastic Four but cinematically they just can't get a break. Maybe when they finally get added to the Marvel Universe they'll have their day but for now I think the 2005 movie is the best one going.
The Fantastic Four is like Batman Forever (1995) made by kindergarteners starring McDonalds workers.
The Good:
Erm...well....there is that part that....errr.....I got nothing
The Bad:
Stupidly over the top in places
Some major differences from the comic
All looks so very dreadful
Is simply seven shades of terrible
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
A blind person can fall in love with a man she's never seen nor even really spoken to
The Fantastic Four are doomed to never have a great movie
