My more thought out review after letting it sink, put it up on flixter:
It's not even possible to give this a zero stars...
This film, I wouldn't watch it again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone to watch. It's cringe worthy.
The CGI, the dialogue, the way scenes are cut. The film doesn't have any gravity. Things are serious but it doesn't sink in because we're moving onto another scene where we crack these awkward jokes that don't really work. The music is also inserted in parts where it's suppose to enhance the severity of the scenes but instead does the opposite and just makes it awkward. Why is happy music playing when there's a crater the size of 5 football fields? Why should we be celebrating this catastrophe?
The characters are also soooo one dimensional, they don't really grow when they get their powers, if anything they're exactly the same or become more brooding and cocky and unlikeable than they already were.
I mean, why is Reed and Ben friends in the film anyway? Reed just comes off as bullying Ben and peer pressures Ben to do stuff. Why do they like each other? These characters say and act differently in each scene its just hard to understand why these characters do what they do, there's no logic in the way they think.
I literally found myself forcing me to watch the movie, it's just really boring. It didn't get going until 40 minutes into it and everything before it could've been cut down to 10 minutes at the least.
I seriously would rather watch the Jessica Alba Chris Evans version. That was way more on point.
Kate Mara is pretty cute tho, I may go watch her show on Netflix now

I come into this thread to read more funny reviews about this ****** movie and am somehow reading about the Holocaust and Islam. WTF?
I can understand not liking it when people jump on the bandwagon for something, especially if you are against the majority opinion. However, I'm just as annoyed by people that go completely against the grain and like something just so they'll have a contrary opinion. Just because 20 people like it doesn't mean the 80 who don't are wrong. Saying this movie isn't that bad doesn't make it a good film. You had fun watching it? I doubt it but ok--everyone's different. Still doesn't mean it's a good film. With all the ******** that's followed Fan4tastic from the moment they announced the director there was no way this was going to be successful.
This film was too big for a one-time director that's a cocky piece of **** because he's young and had success. All directors butt heads with studios and media at some point in their careers. In this case, the studio wants Avengers money. They see what Marvel is doing and see that it works (whether you agree with it or not). Trank isn't giving them what they want so they intervene--happens all the time. Trank didn't know how to handle that so he acted like a petulant child. The studio now has to try to salvage the MILLIONS of dollars they've put into the film so they try to make what they have from Trank so far into a Marvel film and it didn't work. To be honest, I don't think a 100% Trank version would have worked either. The writing was too bad, no reason for a 90 minute origin, and the character designs for Thing and Doom were awful. The director didn't have respect for the source material and the attitude from most people involved seemed to be "It's a comic book movie. They'll see it anyway."
Of course, all this is my opinion--just like every post from everyone in here. If you don't like it, don't get your panties in a twist. Get out for what's left of this weekend and campaign for more people to pay their hard-earned money to see this movie. Maybe you can help salvage this train wreck and you'll get to see Fan4tastic 2: Thing Gets Pants/Doom Still Looks Awful/Now Our Characters Talk to Each Other!/Only 30 Minutes of Rehashed Origin This Time/We've Got X-Men This Time So Please Like This Movie

Seriously. The BS being spewed about this movie in attempt to paint it in a positive light, that the people who don't like it are just brain dead followers or aren't intelligent enough to appreciate what a phenomenal event this was, is so weak you had better be getting some kind of paycheck from the studio or director to justify acting like that.

I'll keep it simple. 3.5/10. Miles teler annoyed me. Kate Mara was decent. Two different movies combined it seemed. Fox has ruined f4 for me in terms of cinema. 3.5 is generous as the acting isn't terrible and special effects aren't horrid.
Everyone who doesn't rush out to see a 9% movie that had ****y trailers and ***hole comments from the cast and crew is a brainwashed Nazi Muslim who works at Disney? Okay.....
Streaming it.
12 minutes: The writing is very poor.
15 minutes: Well, not all of it. Nice scene.
16 minutes: Oops, obvious rewrite/reshoot started. Franklin Storm is an awful person.
17 minutes: I apologise, Franklin Storm is just incredibly naive and dumb.
21 minutes: HOLY ****, why was this crap released at all?!?!?!

Saw the movie for myself. Yes it's bad like many have said. The ending is rushed with bad cg and the story and characters are all over the place. The first half before and up to the accident is decent. Although I have a problem with the relationship between Ben and Reed. Ben seems more like a sidekick than a friend and only goes along because a druken Reed calls him up and makes him go. There is never any connection between the character like they want to be friends, just circumstantial acquaintances. After the accident everything just takes a bizarre turn for the worst. Ben, Sue, and Johnny become pawns of the government, while Reed tries to recreate the machine that sent them to the alternate dimension on his own. In this part Ben seems like he's in his own movie as he never has any interaction with either Sue or Johnny. Then Reed is captured, Doom is discovered, and before you can process what is happening the credits are rolling. The dialogue between the team does not fit especially when Johnny is harassing Ben. The two never have any prior interaction so it feels weird when Johnny does address him. I tend to be an optimistic guy when it comes to films -yes Man of Steel did depress me but I did get a glimmer of what they were going for- but if this is the best Fox can give us, please just let the franchise go and spare us all any future installments. I felt nothing after watching this, and was somewhat bored while the movie was playing. I often say after watching a bad movie that the studio could have taken the money spent and put it towards something much better. In this case Fox could have better spent their money paying for a decent writer and a better director and given us the FF movie the fans deserved and wanted.

Ok, off to watch this 2 hour origin story.
I have a feeling I will need lolcat videos after this.

I think the only ones who liked this movie are Kevin Feige and the Disney executives.

You would think they would be pissed because of it tarnishing the Marvel brand, but I think you're right.

That was a great read.
I will buy this movie on demand to watch it myself, for $5 it will be worth it. I do agree somewhat with the whole watch it yourself don't trust reviews argument. I mean, 27% of people liked it, you could be one of those 27%. Even then, it is to late now for some with this movie. Watch experiments on conformity. You have a preset attitude going into this movie that it will be bad, some of you will conform to the general consensus and say it is bad as well. It is why I don't read reviews at all until after I watch the movie. Also, bashing the movie when you haven't seen it (just speaking generally not to anyone in particular) is pretty weak. It shows me that you are trying to fit in and be cool, failing to form your own opinions and talking another persons word at face value, which to me is something a sixth grader would do. Maybe this movie is as bad as "everyone" is saying, maybe Marvel paid off some critics to destroy this movie and rip it to shreds to try to let Fox drop the license, maybe it is actually good? Who knows. As I said, I will rent it in a few months and form my opinion from there.
Good post.
Too many people here on the DISNEY bandwagon that just want to hate this movie out of some misplaced communal belief that its the right thing to do. You'd think some of these people own DISNEY stock. They don't.
31 minutes: Obvious CGI chimpanzee in a movie where Toby Kebbell is a villain... Good job, FOX!

The mob mentality of comic book fans against this movie is facinating.
The sad thing is that they could had at least a decent movie if they just waited and judged Josh Trank movie when it was released.
Thanks to them FOX got scared and they butchered it hoping they could please the rabid fanboys.
Whats scary too is how they also gang up against Trank, the guy is a young director, probably of the same age as them, probably passionate about his craft, he might have been an ******* on set, doing drug, WHO CARES?! Most directors are not nice guys on set, Famous ones are famous *******s.
But the important thing is the final product.
Here its clear that this is NOT Tranks movies thats has not been released so maybe he can be cut some slack, even if he was not going to do the version comic fans wanted, there is a better horror scifi film out there.
Also please dont mix up Muslims integrist with Muslims in general, its like those who shoot Doctors in abortion clinics, they are Christians integrists not just Christians
