FantasticFour. This week's films. Reviews in chronological order (Total 8 reviews) A Story of Children and Film review â Mark Cousins's 'spine-tingling' visual essay. More film reviews Ina genre that has become overstuffed with empty style-over-substance CGI spectacle, a grounded Fantastic Four film (with a heavy emphasis on characters instead of super-powered fights) could have been a welcome change of pace; yet, after the mid-way point, Trank struggles to payoff anything he intially setup, with melodramatic interactions, undercooked storytelling, and uninventive implementation of the powered foursome. Thefour of them acquire special powers, and decide to form a superhero group called the Fantastic Four. They then fight their arch-enemy Dr. Doom. REVIEW: Produced under the wing of B-movie maven Roger Corman, 1994's "The Fantastic Four" attempt would fulfill the realization of seeing the team come to life for the first time in this TV Tweet S o appallingly dull that even a third-act parade of exploding heads can't rouse interest, Fantastic Four may be the most minor Marvel Comics film yet. And at this dispiritingly late date, that's saying something indeed. It also adds more grist for the mill to the notion that studios don't hit the big red "reboot" button in any 26O n screen, the Fantastic Four remain the poor relations of the Marvel superhero family. The first (2005) episode of last decade's F4 diptych at least showed some flippant pop-culture fizz. But 9u3xIGy. On screen, the Fantastic Four remain the poor relations of the Marvel superhero family. The first 2005 episode of last decade’s F4 diptych at least showed some flippant pop-culture fizz. But this unnecessary reboot is a solemn affair, visually murky and misjudged. After a laborious build-up about plucky young things building a teleportation machine, the revelation of the quartet’s transformations feels incongruously macabre, with the faintest overtones of David Cronenberg. The villainous Dr Doom is even feebler than his earlier incarnation; he starts as a sullen Byronic hipster Toby Kebbell and becomes just another radioactive malcontent shooting bolts of green fire. For anyone who remembers the strip as drawn by Jack Kirby in its wildly inventive 60s prime, this is beyond film team review Fantastic Four Guardian
