Is there anything from this film you'd like to see return in the MCU Multiverse? Michael B Jordan Johnny Storm? Miles Teller in a Council of Reeds? An uber-violent Doom?
-
I NEVER thought I'd hear anyone talk about this movie ever again, yet here we are.
-
I used to LOVE the 2000s fantastic fours and remember when I saw this… I was left shocked and lost for all the words with this movie! Truly crazy to see just much it failed!
-
Johnny storm "9/11" it is crazy 💀
-
The Zack Snyder era of superhero movies was such a trip back in those days. Everything was so dark and gritty that it was lifeless and souless
-
Did you just use 911 as a verb? LOL
-
Watched this movie with my dad and brother after forcing them to watch with me despite seeing the RT score…biggest regret of my life 💀
-
R.I.P Josh Trank's career
-
The body horror elements when they first get their powers was by far and away the most interesting thing about the film. The sudden "1 year later" and them suddenly having control without any journey or progress shown to the audience killed the film imo
-
The funniest movie review I’ve read was about this movie. “Don’t watch it. Not even out of curiosity”
-
I was surprised that Marvel Comics allowed a Punisher comic to be released where the cast of this Fantastic Four got killed in an explosion. That's...quite the choice.
-
I was not expecting a 9/11 reference while talking about Fant4stic, but well... Here we are 😁
-
I feel like the director for this movie was delusional in saying that the original film would've had good reviews.. He literally wanted to connect a Fantastic Four movie with his own movie, the studio disapproved and he did it anyway. SoB doesn't care about the source materia at all
-
I keep forgetting this movie exists.
-
I like how he's worried about The Thing killing 43 people but then says the 9/11 thing. 😂
-
Did he just say he 9/11’d the pillars? Is this allowed? Seems insensitive for this Chanel 28:40
-
Its kinda crazy that theres consistantly been a Fantastic 4 reboot movie every 10 years for 20 years. And all released on the fitting... 5th... year of every decade.
-
casual 9/11 reference is crazy
-
I remember going to see this at the movies and at the end no one clapped or anything, we just walked silently!🤔🤔🥴😩🤦🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️😂😂
-
really didnt expect the line of Johnny storm 9/11s the pillar.
