Anyone? Please, it drives me mad...
Riddick man I'll be honest I have no idea how they got their powers
The ground starts attacking them, Ben is attacked by flying rocks that look like a wasp swarm and Johnny randomly catches on fire and I have no idea what happened to Reed.
Now idk how that ties into Sue getting her powers because she just got hit with the energy field when they teleported back.

It made about as much sense as how Trank got hired in the first place.

It's not even worth Blu Ray, it's not worth owning or renting. I'm with jye I will never watch this again.
If anything I would use this film to torture terrorists at Guantanamo Bay

You guys seen this? Punisher killed the cast(the actors not the Marvel Comic's actual team).

After realizing how terrible the movie was, she just wanted to turn invisible and disappear from embarrassment.

I can't blame the movie currently in theaters all on Trank. It's obvious there's a crap load of missing scenes, some you can find in the trailer, some that got edited out and probably most that Trank didn't even get to shoot, which could be his fault or not.
Everyone keeps neglecting the fact that it is based on the ultimate universe and it does a pretty good job at being faithful to those comics. I don't think Trank was straying far from the source material.

In all honesty, its as bad as GR2, but slightly more polished bad.

Actually, I never mentioned in my review that this was a problem, I said Tim Story's version was a mixed bag with the source, getting some things right while other parts were quite off.
But Tim Story delivered a completed package, TWICE!
I know you keep referring to Fox breaking his vision.
But I don't care what could've and should've been, I care about what was released to the paying public.

The theatrical version is a solid UFF adaptation and a decent movie. But nobody here (nor on most of the internet) will ever acknowledge that because its "cool" to hate this movie. The few critics who praised it are saints in withstanding the massive anti-Fox bandwagon.
DISNEY owns the internet now. The next 12 MARVEL STUDIOS movies can be clones of Thor: TDW & IM3. These people wouldn't care. They'd eat it up and ask for seconds. Hell, they wouldn't complain if at the end of INFINITY WAR PART II Thanos revealed himself to be Obadiah Stane in a costume.

I'm almost tempted to pay to see this. As someone who's perhaps too heavily-invested in the art and craft of filmmaking despite not being a filmmaker, I feel privileged to have witnessed this slow-motion train derailment into a nearby orphanage first-hand.
This strikes me as the kind of debacle there'll probably be a book and a documentary film about in ten years time. The sheer, monumental incompetence of all parties involved is staggering. Trying hard to think of anything this disastrous in modern memory - When Time Ran Out (1980) comes to mind, that film effectively nailed the coffin shut on the disaster movie trend.

Now, you are contradicting yourself. You say don't read the internet because of reviews.
Now why do you care what we think, and why should other people listen to you and watch this movie to form their own opinion. Isn't it your opinion for them to make their own opinion?
You yourself is on the internet right now

Alright my dear Fellow Freaks. The time has come for me to shed light to this film. I'm reading a lot more of you are seeing it at the movies and most of the reviews up about it are right. It's very sad and reading how Trank and Fox both ****ed over the movie is unbelievable. It's mainly Fox's fault for sure because the whole time Friday Night sitting through the movie was like. "Something is completely wrong." Let's get onto it shall we? Oh yeah Spoiler alerts below.

I will admit the first about 40 minutes was probably the best part. The starting showing Reed "Miles Teller" and Ben's "Jamie Bell" friendship from childhood was cool. Reed wanting to explore teleportation and building a homemade machine was cool too. Based in 2007 and then goes to present day at a science fair when Franklin Storm "Reg E. Cathey" and Susan "Kate Mara" come by and want Reed to join there team. We meet Von Doom "Toby Kebbell" which I thought his character is complete and utter ********. He starts off being crazy and looking like a dirty hobo then has a thing for Sue but at the end says **** it I'm killing her. What the **** man! Make up your damn mind! Anyways well we meet him and Franklin is keeping an eye on him for the reasons he's "crazy". We also meet Johnny which man is his character not shed out enough. Johnny storm is sort of like Tony Stark but younger. I think Chris Evans did the character better. Michael B. Jordan didn't do his character enough justice as Johnny Storm and it made him turn out to be "Well yeah I'm a bad *** but hell I'll be nice too." I wanted to see him poke more fun at people and be that *******. Well to sum p how that character gets involved in the project he wrecks his car in drag racing and his daddy takes it away and says you must earn it back. Yep that's how he gets involved. So they all except Ben work on the teleporter and successfully built and functioned by sending chimpanzees through and they make it there and back alive. The government wants to send NASA through it instead of the team who build it. Our heroes get drunk and Reed and Doom are all like "Let's break the law and be like Neal Armstrong *******!" So yeah... reed calls Ben to join and all four of them go into the teleporter and go to the other universe where they kept getting the rock material from. The teleportation was a success and they end up on the planet. All four are amazed and they decided "Lets go explore!" So they do and **** goes wrong and Doom gets green acid on him and dragged away by the rocks. yes I'm not ******** you and when he was getting ooze from teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on him it was so horrible I laughed a bit. Terrible. The other three make it back to the pods to go back and Sue noticed they all were launching the device without permission and tries to help bring them back. Well the weirdest part that really bugs me is how Reed, Ben and Johnny get there powers. I always prefer if someone is going to get abilities do it in a way where it's a random draw. We all know who suppose to be who but damn was this scene pathetic. Ben getting attacked by rocks, Johnny getting flamed to death and Reed's pod not closing and he gets the stretching ability. Really? Oh the worst one has to be when Sue gets the machine to work and come back her own computer shoots a invisible beam at her. I thought that was so stupid I couldn't believe it. A computer gives her the powers. Well we are at the point of the movie where everything should start getting roe entertaining and pick up. Nope this is where I started losing interest. Basically all four of our fellow heroes are being tested by the government. Reed escapes and leaves for a year to do nothing what so. The only emotional part of the movie has to be when Ben is crying for Reed and Reed just leaves him. The only sympathy and character I liked besides Reed. So the government comes in and tells the three of them they will help find a cure when we know they will do jack ****. Even Franklin Storm should know that because he was going to fight for them to go through the machines and be the first to step on the planet. He lets it slide and just smiles. Well they ask Sue and Ben to go find Reed which they do. It was lame honestly and basically bring him back and interrogate him to help finish the 2.0 teleportation device. t that moment in the film I could hear Mission Impossible playing and I was just thinking to myself " I wish I was there right now." Basically he helps build the machine back and they send a crew to the other planet which the formation changes and oh wait Doom is still alive! They bring him back and they were trying to ask him about the planet and he starts exploding heads and wants to go rule the universe he is in and take down the one he's on. The fight scenes between the team and Doom was terrible. The teleporter taking the earth apart was lame because the whole time it was happening. Where are all of the people? None! Just cars, planes etc. They defeat Doom by pushing him into the beam of the teleporter and he died. The heroes get there own building in the middle of nowhere and have a moment of deciding what to name themselves. Oh yeah the Fantastic Four! The End. More like Fantastic it wasn't actually Marvel. In the end of it all my fellow freaks it really sucked. Me and my girlfriend couldn't believe the reviews about it so we went to see it for ourselves to really see if it was true and boy were they. %9 on Rotten Tomatoes, 4.7/10 on IMBD and Metacritic is a 27%. It went down more as all three had a bit of a higher score but nope it was garbage. The story fell flat and was very dull. A lot was taken out since the trailer switched scenes around .What happened t them dropping the Thing from the air? Nope we get him with no pants Hulking out. Oh yeah and remember in the trailer when Reed was hoping on the chair? they switched that with Johnny. Again the story was pretty dull and for a cast that is was pretty good they all fell flat. I hated Kate Mara's performance. She had no connection with Reed which is very important. She and Doom were the worst part of the film form e. I thought Reed and Ben's relationship was the best part. Miles Teller and Jamie Bell did what they had to do and Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm was a miss too. Reg E. Cathey as Franklin Storm was alright. He just seemed to be that nice guy and Johnny was just jealous of Sue the adopted sister. I wish they explored more with that because they didn't go into Johnny's issues with his dad and even "Spoiler Alert" When Doom kills him in the end it was suppose to be a emotional scene but nope I didn't feel one bit sad when he died. Sue and Johnny's reaction was cry then battle and be all fine. Lame. Bland story and acting with minor hits at times, Effects were crap at times but the Thing effects were the best, music score was alright, not enough action and too dull. Overall this movie was doomed. I was looking forward to a modern darker take on Fantastic Four but instead we get this garbage of a movie and people saying this was better than Ant-man is loads of ****. Ant-Man is he best Marvel film this year hands down. When the movie was starting and the Marvel logo was showing up I didn't get the butterflies I usually do. That's a problem right there. This didn't feel like a Marvel movie either just a random movie about kids who get monster powers. It really didn't feel like a Marvel movie and that's it's mistake. It wasn't even a superhero movie really. I don't know who to blame but seems like Trank and Fox were having issues and the man has only did one other film. In the end of it all don't see this movie. But if you do put aside all the reviews and stuff you have read and just watch it for yourself. I'm done I think I said all I can say about the film. It really had potential but I think Fox screwed up what Trank was trying to go for and I bet the actually film that was cut would of probably been good. I think I'll take watching the Tim Story Fantastic Four movies over this garbage. I'm out of here!
