Fantastic Four reboot

[SNIKT1950]

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.

Hate to break it to you, but unless you're going in with a checklist on how and why to hate it, it's really not bad. The masses suggest it's a monstrosity but its actually a decent UFF flick with a weak ending. Its a C at the lowest. Nothing amazing nor terrible.

The reason I'm replying to you is that I actually had a guy on Facebook this morning that I've known for years ask me if he should watch it just to bash it. I told him to check it out but to prepare for disappointment regarding the consensus of it being Garbage Pail Kids bad. He called me after he saw it and said he felt like an ***** because after making fun of it for days online he actually liked the movie. I praised him for having the maturity to eat crow.

Sue getting her powers because she just got hit with the energy field when they teleported back.

Exactly! What the actual ****?
Nothing in this pile of immature filmmaking decisions was ever explained.

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

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

Dude, I lost interest in your opinion (or lack thereof) when you streamed the movie with the sole purpose of bashing it. There are people on here that are actually capable of individual thought. Its their voices and actual opinions I'm here to interact with.

You were gonna hate this movie no matter what you saw. If it was sitting in the 70s on RT right now the review you gave it would have been identical. You allowed the masses to tell you how to feel about this movie a long time ago.

They don't even explain why everyone didn't like Victor or why Victor set fire to the servers in the beginning

The computer did it. It wanted her.

So you're telling me, you told me to watch this movie to form my own opinion just for you to bash it? You were gonna hate no matter what I said.

Funny how that works right?

You just don't get it, you're the exact thing you say your against.

You tell people to form their own opinion and don't listen to the masses but you're here forcing yours on how this is actually good movie guys watch it, watch it now!

You say don't hop onto the Disney bandwagon but your telling people to jump on the hate the bandwagoners train.

PPP (**** parody possibilities) are endless, I'll give 'em that.

Exactly.

Nah, not funny. See, I advised you to stop being a typical bandwagoner and form your own opinion on the movie rather than allow almost everyone on the internet to do it for you. I praised you for taking the time to watch the film. Then I began reading your posts afterwards. Not only did you "stream" the film with the intention of bashing it, you were watching the film while you were bashing it online.

The mere suggestion that you weren't watching it to bash it is what's truly funny.

Just sounds like bad management on Fox's part. The script is there. They see Trank's vision with his pitch and on the storyboards. Don't get how they just come in and fire crew members and take away tens of millions of dollars from the production. Perhaps some type of funding issue?

How awesome did it feel when the imaginary friend that only exists in your head reinforced your opinion of this garbage *** movie?

Hey man to be honest, if something was positive I would've said it. I was exactly like Riddick a couple pages back, taking notes while I watched. Watching it, forming an opinion. But NOTHING made sense. In my opinion of course.

You can't say I watched it for the sole purpose of bashing it. That's your opinion of course.

I actually watched it so I know exactly what to tell other forum member what their getting into.

Maybe it was Sue Storm

I could answer to you here and attempt to deconstruct the lack of logic in your statement. Instead, I'll just ask - what's it like to be completely devoid of individual thought? Is it literally like being an ant?

You sound like you'd be a blast at parties.

So the only reason you liked the movie is because you wanted to different from everyone else?

I thought you were running with the whole "sheep" angle thing. But I guess ants work too.

Just stop embarrassing yourself man. Just acknowledge you're in the minority.

I liked Teminator: Genisys I'm in the minority, I couldn't give a crap if someone says it is, I had fun watching it. I'm not going around trying to convince people otherwise.

It's a *** at Ant-Man, I just know it

No, not at all. I liked it because its a decent sci-fi flick. A solid adaptation of UFF with a strong cast. The third act is non-existant and the film closes on a weak note. Its a 7/10 for me at the lowest.

There are many people who dug it, including some top critics. Sadly, their voices are completely overshadowed by the massive anti-Fox campaign that has all but consumed the internet.
