Fantastic Four (2015 film)/YMMV

These things about  are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.


 * Acceptable Targets: Good luck finding anyone who didn't make fun of Fant4stic.
 * Author's Saving Throw: Some of these were shoehorned once Trank left, which may or may not work.
 * The film explained that Sue was adopted.
 * Victor Von Doom would have been named Victor Domashev but went back to his original name.
 * Awesome Music: The only good part of the film is the music.
 * Bile Fascination: The disjointed narrative and dull tone are sure to lure critics in.
 * Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy: For a franchise intended to be fun and adventurous, this film missed the tone for the wrong reasons.
 * Eight Deadly Words: All of the characters are dull and uninteresting.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Franklin Storm is the only memorable character of the film.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: As with Chris Evans, Michael B. Jordan also went from playing the Human Torch to playing a Marvel Cinematic Universe character.
 * Just Here for Godzilla: Many Marvel fans only got to see the film just to see the Deadpool trailer.
 * Narm:
 * The Thing would look better if he had any pants on and didn't look like an oversized chicken tender. Also, he doesn't have the trademark gruff voice.
 * The Storyverse's excuse for the Thing learning "It's clobberin' time" from a toy makes sense, but here when he learned it from an abusive brother sounds silly.
 * Nightmare Fuel: The only effectively creepy scene is where Doom attacks the people at the hallway.
 * Nightmare Retardant: Doctor Doom resembles a green glowing mannequin instead of the typical Doom.
 * Only the Creator Does It Right:
 * Many agree that Tim Story had done better Fantastic Four films compared to the reboot.
 * Those who don’t like Story’s films and Trank’s film believe that Marvel can do a better Fantastic Four film.
 * Overshadowed by Controversy: Josh Trank’s on set behavior has been reported numerous times, causing people to be disinterested in the film.
 * So Bad It's Horrible: Many reviewers said it is the worst superhero film of all time, next to Catwoman.
 * Sophomore Slump: Compared to Chronicle, Josh Trank dipped in quality starting with Fant4stic.
 * Spiritual Licensee: Trank claimed his film is like a David Cronenberg superhero film.
 * Tainted by the Preview: The trailers have had a mixed-to-negative reception.
 * Took the Bad Film Seriously:
 * The late Reg E. Cathey's performance wasn't phoned in compared to the other cast members.
 * Toby Kebbell also tried his best to play Doom right in a bad film.
 * Uncertain Audience: The film was a Frankenstein of Josh Trank and the executives, causing a disjointed film.
 * Unfortunate Implications: Ben, Johnny and Reed go to Planet Zero but left the sole woman Sue behind.
 * Vindicated by History: A minor example. If this wasn't made as a Fantastic Four reboot and instead to a Chronicle sequel, it would be better received.
 * What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: While the Storyverse films are relatively tame, there are plenty of "shits", Flipping the Bird, a dark tone and that Doom kills several people at the hallway. Somehow, it ended up on Disney+.
 * WTH Casting: Sue and Johnny's actors aren't even of the same race. Trank wanted Sue to be Black as well, but Fox intervened.
