Everyone seems to be jumping on hate bandwagon so quickly. Yeah, the plot was weak and the character interaction was a bit forced. Yes, the characters themselves were not quite right (Victor Von Doom correcting Reed Richards comes to mind). And some of the CGI effects weren't the best (Sue's force field looks a bit too much like The Incredibles' version, Reed's shape shifting scene, the end battle scene, etc.) However, all that said, I don't think it deserves such a low rating and the epithet of "trash." It had an interesting semblance of direction and a unique take on the Fantastic Four beyond the typical bold superheroes angle. The addition of Johnny and Sue's father into the story definitely made the story more interesting to me than the previous movies, where I had never even thought of their father. His character was a good catalyst for the team. Overall, I think that it wasn't the best movie and that it had a lot of unseen potential in its concept stage, but that it's execution and production was a bit lacking. Not enough for its hate following, though.
