Instead of going up into space, like in the original comic book and the 2005 movie, Reed Richards (Miles Teller), Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan), Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell) and Victor Von Doom (Toby Kebbell) teleport to another dimension.



“Fantastic Four”, which cost $120 million to produce, is still expected to debut to $40 million at the box office.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: “The latest reboot of the Fantastic Four – the cinematic equivalent of malware – is worse than worthless”. “And it would’ve recieved great reviews”.

Hot on the heels of several interviews with the film’s cast that range from awkward to embarrassing, reports are coming in that the actual director of the thing is now attacking his own movie.

In a now-deleted tweet (more on that later), Trank wrote: “A year ago I had a fantastic version of this”.

 “Often out of alignment, and missing a clear creative guiding vision, Fantastic Four is not ready for the multiplex battle ahead”. Still, it’s a shame that we’ll never see the presumably more cerebral take on the heroes that he originally had in mind. FANTASTIC FOUR focuses on the human drama of relatable characters that at first don’t perceive their new physical abilities as advantages, but as daunting, if not impossible, challenges. From this point on “Fantastic Four” becomes a studio superhero franchise film, regurgitating situations and visuals we’ve seen before in better movies. Half of the movie is spent getting our team to the other universe so they can get their powers and it felt like a long journey but I can let that go. And a movie is like a puzzle, you have all the pieces in place.
