• Alright guys, so there has been a very conflicting road leading up to this movie’s release.
• When I first heard about two or three years ago that they were doing a Fantastic Four reboot, I thought that was a cool idea.
• They could make it gritty and dark, like every other reboot nowadays and it could be cool!
• Then they cast Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan and Kate Mara, all of whom are actors that I really like!
• But then the conflict comes in… Because then I start hearing stories that director Josh Trank is showing up to the set hungover and that Matthew Vaughn was brought in to do edits and there were months and months of reshoots.
• BUT THEN, the Trailers drop and I was really impressed with what I was seeing. So they sold me for a while.
• Then, only about three days ago, that excitement was once again spoiled with only two words: review embargo.
• Fox embargoed all reviews for this movie, meaning no critics could publish their reviews until one or two days before the movie dropped. Essentially showing that they didn’t have much faith in the movie.
• Then this thing gets a lot of bad reviews when they do come out, and here we are!
• So I go in, I watch Fantastic Four, and I didn’t think it was that bad! I’m not gonna recommend you run out and see it (read the review), but it certainly doesn’t deserve a 10% on Rotten Tomatoes!
