FANTASTIC FOUR (2015) BREAKDOWN! WTF Really Happened With This Movie?

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.

The funniest movie review I’ve read was about this movie. “Don’t watch it. Not even out of curiosity”

Johnny storm "9/11" it is crazy 💀

R.I.P Josh Trank's career

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!

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.

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 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

I keep forgetting this movie exists.

Did you just use 911 as a verb? LOL

Interesting note about Stan Lee refusing to cameo. Based on Stan Lee's own claims, he was never asked to cameo, and never consulted before the movie went forward. According to Trank, he DID consult Stan Lee on his early script and Stan Lee liked it. Multiple other videos I've seen as I've been digging seem to blame Fox for the interference, but also rarely mention the apparent anger issues Trank had on set outside of frustration over studio interference. Getting the clear, true story on this one is weirdly difficult. Wouldn't mind watching a deep-dive documentary sometime.

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 💀

@28:39 “‘9/11’s’ through the pillars” is wild

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

really didnt expect the line of Johnny storm 9/11s the pillar.

It’s sad how 15M is considered a low budget for a movie.

that scene of Doom popping skulls is pretty bad ass

The Maker had so much potential 16:12 Why is this F4 movie? Why can't you just make a Chronicle spin off prequel instead of adapting a Marvel team you have no interest in ? Seriously

Having Reed be someone obsessed with the Stars over the Sciences I think is also a benefit of setting the film back in the 60's with the Apollo 11 mission happening in '69, going to the stars is what would fascinate someone then, whereas moving forward through time and the introduction to Superheroes in film and tv media grew the passion to explore what we have at our fingertips weakened to give way to a more imaginative Reed in this film.. as you said they were still kids in 2007, and when I was a kid in '07 I too wanted to be a super hero instead of an astronaut, but if you'd gone back to when my father was that age, he probably wanted something more akin to astronaut
