. Seriously though, I did finally watch her review and basically agree. The biggest problem is after "one year later" and the insertion of a big blockbuster style monster fight onto what was more of what was a pretty good if flawed Ang Leeish approach to the Fantastic Four. If the first part had continued it could have been a pretty good film, but given the totality of it I think it becomes "OK."
But here's the thing: it is not nearly as bad as people say, which is mainly based upon nerdrage and disappointment. I think if people were able to approach the movie more impartially and without expectations, it would rank higher than the lower tier comic movies like Catwoman, Batman & Robin, Spawn, Superman IV, Ghost Rider, Elektra, etc...it is better than all of those, in my opinion. It is more along the lines of films like X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Batman Forever, Amazing Spiderman 2, the earlier Fantastic Four movies, Hulk, etc.
My biggest problem with the film, aside from the last part, is the poor use of actor resources. I loved Miles Teller in Whiplash, but he's like a different actor. Such a boring depiction of Reed Richards. Kata Mara somehow manages to be appealing, but could have been more interesting. Michael B Jordan is also much better than what we saw in this film.
Anyhow, the worst part is that they pretty much missed their chance with Doom. Even if they give it another shot and pull the franchise from the precipice of, ah, doom, they can't really re-do the shoddy job they did with Doctor Doom. That's tantamount to blowing it with Magneto in the first X-Men movie.
