When asked by reporters about his confirmed 43 kills, 28 yr old highschool senior and local rock man Benjamin Grimm simply responded “It was clobbering time.”
“The flying car actually got cut from the movie.” “Oh yeah cause it was visually interesting.” That about sums up the majority of problems with this film
Ben barely had any interactions with anyone other then Reed. Reed literally had to drag him in the plot drunk off his ass to be a part of the shuttle dimension thing despite the fact he had no involvement in it and most likely doesn't know the science behind it. They didn't even invite Sue the one who actually help build the damn thing.
@@saintniccage2818 I wonder if it's their favourite movie they did, similar to how Steven Spielberg's favourite movie he did was Temple of Doom because that's where he met his wife
I’m somehow both honored and devastated that my 7th grade science fair project ended up in this movie. They were filming in my city and after our state science fair they asked if we’d like to donate our projects for a scene in an upcoming movie. I found out it was the Fantastic Four and I was so excited. Then I saw the movie...
The best iteration of the Fantastic Four is that one episode of the animated show where Magneto is threatened with a wooden gun and immediately surrenders
Sue: Mr. Gloom and Doom over here. Victor: Hey, that's DR Gloom and Doom. Sue: Ok, Doctor Doom. Better name origin and that's just off the top of my head.
I think the original was because of the Domashev name that they gave him. If he still is called Von Doom then that quip is either a weird pun or downright just saying his title + surname
Kid in my high school’s brother played kid Reed and Josh Trank sent him a really ranty weird dm apologizing for how bad the movie was and how it might affect his career or whatever. I imagine he did the same for the rest of the cast. I’m glad he’s chilled out it’s better for his health
Just remember it's the 2010s No one should act like dumbasses like they did when bullying jake Loyd in the late 90s. Which is sad do to I was born in 1999 where kids and adults bullies one kid lol
Imagine playing Australian rules football with AFL Legend of the Game Anthony "Kouta" Koudafides only to find out he stopped being a football player to give a gorilla a souvlaki

I know this video is 3 years old but whoever did that should experience a renewed sense of achievement for great work they did back in 2020, cuz it's pretty great, friends
It's cool that James was a teacher. I currently teach at a high school, and I also can't stand the "Asshole teacher" trope. Especially if they are mean to a kid who's actually trying, because even the meanest teachers usually love it when students put in effort.
I experienced that trope for most of my school life. I have learning issues and was treated like "that punk kid" and told I was just lazy. The truth is that I didn't understand most of what was going on especially in math.
really hope the next F4 has 6'4, beared, grey temple John Krasinski as Reed Richards as a kid still in school being told off by the teacher for being too clever, in reference to Fan4stic
The best pure Fantastic 4 adaptation is Fantastic 4: World's Greatest Heroes, when it aired on Toonami, it was rather inconsistent, but I always tried to watch it, now it's on Disney+, now everyone can witness this underated gem.
I wouldn't really say that Michael starred in the MCU... he had a supporting, possibly even co-starring, role in one single movie in the wider MCU. Whereas Chris did star in the MCU as a whole. I guess it's better put that they both played the human torch and then they both played another major character role from Marvel comics afterwards.
Doctor Doom has one of the most compelling origins and motivations in the entire Marvel universe, as well as a great and iconic design. STOP CHANGING HIM!!!
Watching this is like staring into a weird alternate dimension where all the worst superhero movie trend-chasing happened all at once. It's got the grimdark tone when it doesn't work, it's got the stupid explanations for things that don't need 'em, it's embarrassed about what it is and it doesn't understand the soul of what it's adapting. Fun fact: It did so badly it neutralized X-Men: Days of Future Past's profits.
Also the short runtime. Another fun fact is that Fox believed more in DoFP and FF than Deadpool, but got cold feet with F4 at the start of the year and publicity was delayed because of it. Also it pretty much killed the career of everyone in the cast
It's fucking amazing how often people who don't like comic books are put in charge of making comic book movies. They inevitably get rid of all the comic book elements because they think it's silly and embarrassing... like, just make movies that aren't comic book movies, you fucking hacks.
It's fine as a what-if thing, but why is everyone against making Doom a sorcerer dictator of his own country. I think only the Roger Corman movie he was an actual dictator.
@Cataclysmic Dildoser I love 20th century fox for a passion for creating the xmen franchise and the two fantastic 4 films. That's why I would support them more than the mcu. Do to the mcu doesnt take risk while fox does
This Movie has a second act of about 1minute 15 seconds in that amount of time they dump all the things a second act generally does. This movie in my opinion is the worst superhero movie , because say what you will about other bad superhero movies the bad ones failure leaves an impact. This is dull and lifeless and it takes itself way too seriously like Why? It's the Fantastic four you can't take them seriously but you can give then family dynamics like the comic. On that they are embarrassed that it's source material is a comic they never refer to themselves as the comic names and do not call themselves the Fantastic four, hell even Joker had the line "when you bring me out can you introduce me as Joker" as they were not ashamed of the movie having a comic book as their source material.
I want to add my two notes - when The Rock... I mean The Thing rips off and throws a tank turret at soldiers (when they are showcasing a montage of his fights, the whole 43 confirmed kills scene), the turret, a giant piece of metal, explodes into a fireball and basically vaporizes. And second note, the green goo in the Zero dimension in the first trailer is actually red.
It's a horrid idea to choose Fantastic Four. I mean, it doesn't matter how "horror" this film tries to be. The moment Reed Richards is playing stretchy man the tone is totally lost. I can see what Josh Trank was doing, but he was 100% working on the wrong series/movie/superhero characters. As an original, the film he wanted to make could've been like "dark knight meets incredibles" but instead we got the actually 2nd ash-can copy they just did to keep the rights.
@@bern9642 Tbf, FF has gone to dark places before. The problem is that the movie had a terrible script. The FF dont have any personality in this movie. They're just bland and lifeless.
I remember seeing this in theaters when it came out; friend of mine had a few free passes because he worked at the local cinema and we all went to see it for some laughs. One of the first things I thought, and still think about every time I see clips of this, is "why would they cast Tim Heidecker and Dan Castellaneta in what's supposed to be a horror movie?'.
scott munro it’s the things catchphrase that he happily drops when swinging at bad guys, and they retconned it in this movie to make it what his dad would say before beating him. I actually think there’s a lot of good in this movie that could have been explored, but fuck, that is an absurdly dumb change.
Robert Downey Jr was in his 40s when he launched the MCU and became a hero for an entire generation of kids. Can we have a Reed Richards in his 40s please? Hollywood: NO, never, that will never happen!
@@expendableindigo9639 Right? Reed is typically pretty boring and consumed with his work and lays on the techno babble as needed. Let Reed be Reed please.
If they had made a FF film many years ago that was actually good I would have liked to have seen Richard Dean Anderson as Reed Richards when he was still playing MacGyver.
I know it’s a big joke now, but I can’t believe you didn’t mention how Ben’s older brother used to beat him up and say, “It’s clobbering time!” That was the weirdest decision in my book
It's insane that the original idea with Galactus and The Doom-Surfer and the body horror is so interesting and clever... And then we got this. Not only a bad movie... But a movie with no original idea during it's entirety.
9:58 did i see a different cut? i remember the scene ending out with the group deciding on a name. Johnny Storm says something, Reed goes wait say that again, Johnny repeats himself, Reed decides on Fantastic Four. Don't rem the group reaction coz i literally did a face palm in the cinema before it cut to credits
The idea of the Negative Zone be Galactus' home dimension, and Dr. Doom being his herald, is NOTHING like the comics but it sounds so WILDLY interesting. I love that! Where was that! 😭
I had this one thought for the Disney version... that the FF crew (Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben) could all be scientists working at Stark Industries (post Endgame). They meet around the water cooler from time to time, but are thrust together into a project that has to do with interstellar travel - something Earth hasn't been able to accomplish without help from aliens. So, using their specific skill-sets, the crew of four (and maybe a piece of re-jiggered Stark tech with an AI named "Herbie") are tasked with unlocking interstellar travel. The problem is that it works TOO well... and they're sent through the cosmos (giving them their powers along the way). And the bulk of the movie is them trying to get back home. They can meet intergalactic foes and characters in their travels, set up Silver Surfer, set up Galactus, finally... and by the end of the movie, they either reach Earth (with the help of a secretly-evil Von Doom), or ...they make peace with the fact that they may never get home...and then run into either the Guardians, or Thor at the end of the film, setting up a sequel (or their inclusion in another hero's film).
I worked at the theater when this movie came out and my coworkers watched it for free and one of them said, “I still wanted a refund. I can’t believe I wasted my time watching that.”
Yes, yes, yes; it's terrible, but a) how does Maso do it? and b) please can we have a period FF movie next? Something with a late 60's/early 70's flavour. Anyway, thanks for doing this, I know it can't have been easy watching this absolute piffle.
@@12Daniel34 They could still make cameo’s throughout the MCU before getting there own movie, like how Spider-man was reintroduced in Civil War then getting his new movie and it didn’t have to be an origin one.
@@brandonlyon730 True, but that'd be 5 years from now at this rate xD Just want to see if the MCU holds up, cause things like The Eternals don't look too good to me.
@GiRayne He said one is in development, it's already been planned out and it's part of phase 5. We'll probably see them in a post or mid credits scene first.
Do you also pronounce 'se7en" as "seveh-seven-nen"? Because that's how I've always read it. Fuck any1 that uses numbers like that(especially in a movie title/name, I don't mind so much in a comment like mine, so that was a stupid bit but the point stands, it sucks and needs to st0p.
Luka Kozina Not to mention, Justice League at least feels like a semi coherent film, whereas Fant4stic feels like multiple different movies fighting for screen time (if that makes sense lol)
I reckon if Trank was given the power to do what he wanted it would’ve turned out great. Justice League is okay at best I just never feel compelled to rewatch
I was incredibly high when I saw this movie at like 16 years old and I shit you not me and my friend were both confused as hell as to why the preview of a bunch of kids at a science fair was going on for like 5+ minutes. Then I realized the movie had already started and this wasn't an ad, not a good start whatsoever lmao.
Stories of Josh Trank disagreeing with the studio, having small dogs damage a house, and getting into a fist fight with Miles Teller really just make me kind of like him more???
I’ve never fell asleep during a movie, except for when I woke up in a theatre to the fantastic four standing over the smoldering crater wondering what I missed in the third act... from the looks of it, not much.
Hey James. Don’t know if you’re gonna see this but you and mason put out superb content. You’ve been my favourite channel since you started posting way back in 2015. I’ve been keeping up ever since and have yet to see a drop in quality. You guys are the best.
Hey Season 2, I did see this and really appreciate the comment! I remember the year 2012. The movie Battleship came out and that’s all I remember. All the best mate.
I *need* the world to know -- the end credit's musical score is incredible. It's utterly beautiful and perfectly describes the movie's themes in musical form. Especially the movement over the final moments of the scrolling credits. Go back, check it, trust me.
The idea of doom being a herald of galactus is actually super cool, i could see a version of this movie with the silver surfer as an ex-herald filling the role of the watcher from the original galactus saga being successful
This has become one of my favourite series on UA-cam. You two are hilarious. I will gladly listen to you shit-talk/find redemption/heap praise on bad/okay/great movies, with Bens brilliant editing, all day. Do want movies yous want, what you excited for. We’ll be on board. ❤️
Honestly really heartwarming to hear the director write that review praising the cast and accepting that the movie happened. Must've taken a lot of humility. I can't imagine spending months of your life working on a stressful movie. Glad he's still working and hope that Fant4stic doesn't weigh him down.

Yep, could've pulled Human Torch off. The writing was just bad. I'm also assuming that even Trank's own take wasn't that good too.

If they had made a FF film many years ago that was actually good I would have liked to have seen Richard Dean Anderson as Reed Richards when he was still playing MacGyver.
Ahem. John Krasinski?
Rooster Cogburn Too funny.
Never noticed how much Jamie Bell 3:11 looked like Tom Holland 4:05
And they both played Billy Elliot!
I’m fucked up by how much he looks like a young Tim Robinson.
shorter bulkier TH
We have a limited gene pool in the UK 🧬
You need glasses
Any video that starts with James being hostile always indicates gold content!
I know it’s a big joke now, but I can’t believe you didn’t mention how Ben’s older brother used to beat him up and say, “It’s clobbering time!” That was the weirdest decision in my book
12:15 FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT THE MISLEADING POSTERS
I say if we hit 20k again, they have to watch this movie again. If we hit it, they have to do it.. Them's the rules.
I think every 20k likes they get on their channel, they have to watch it. Just forever
We did it.
You monster.
It's insane that the original idea with Galactus and The Doom-Surfer and the body horror is so interesting and clever... And then we got this. Not only a bad movie... But a movie with no original idea during it's entirety.
Its funny that the best interpretation of the Fantastic Four, outside of the comics, is in those Lego Videogames
Gimme a movie where Reed turns into a giant teapot
The best F4 film is The Incredibles, it's not even close
There was an animated series . It was pretty good
9:58 did i see a different cut? i remember the scene ending out with the group deciding on a name. Johnny Storm says something, Reed goes wait say that again, Johnny repeats himself, Reed decides on Fantastic Four. Don't rem the group reaction coz i literally did a face palm in the cinema before it cut to credits
I saw this movie in theaters and I was so bored since the theater was empty I flipped up all the armrests on every chair.
You were doing gods work, son.
I'd rather watch you flip up all the armrests on every chair than watch this movie
Nice. Seems like you had a much better time than most.
Being feeling a little low lately and this really cheered me up thank you
When I watched this movie recently, Doom wanted to stay in the negative zone, why not leave him there?! Lol
BLVCK Atlantian maybe Annihilus should have appeared
I'm still left with one question...
How does Mason do it?
The point about Sue saying doctor doom is so true it cracked me up 😂😂😂
The idea of the Negative Zone be Galactus' home dimension, and Dr. Doom being his herald, is NOTHING like the comics but it sounds so WILDLY interesting. I love that! Where was that! 😭
The buildup at 5:37 and the payoff at 5:39 is absolutely hilarious.
XD
That Galactus idea sounds pretty good. It would explain Doom's appearance as well.
Look I know he said not to ask but how does he do it?!?
Kore I know right???
Josh trank actually carried a gun with him on the set of the movie.
‘94 Fantastic Four is the best. The one FF flick that wasn’t initially released.
I had this one thought for the Disney version... that the FF crew (Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben) could all be scientists working at Stark Industries (post Endgame). They meet around the water cooler from time to time, but are thrust together into a project that has to do with interstellar travel - something Earth hasn't been able to accomplish without help from aliens. So, using their specific skill-sets, the crew of four (and maybe a piece of re-jiggered Stark tech with an AI named "Herbie") are tasked with unlocking interstellar travel. The problem is that it works TOO well... and they're sent through the cosmos (giving them their powers along the way). And the bulk of the movie is them trying to get back home.
They can meet intergalactic foes and characters in their travels, set up Silver Surfer, set up Galactus, finally... and by the end of the movie, they either reach Earth (with the help of a secretly-evil Von Doom), or ...they make peace with the fact that they may never get home...and then run into either the Guardians, or Thor at the end of the film, setting up a sequel (or their inclusion in another hero's film).
This movie is a waste of everyone's time.
That bit about them finding Galactus in the other dimension and Doom becoming his herald was great. That would've been interesting.
I worked at the theater when this movie came out and my coworkers watched it for free and one of them said, “I still wanted a refund. I can’t believe I wasted my time watching that.”
I've been loving this Fantastic Four review binge. Thank you both for doing this.
How can you do this series and not also watch the Incredibles?
I mean, just as a prize for getting through it all.
I mean, the first one is, but the 2nd one with so much potentional is just a total cashgrab with no real substance.
Once Homer Simpson disqualified Reed for actually doing some science. Just turn off the freaking movie. I still can't get over that part🙄
this was the ONLY movie I ever fell asleep to. I was with my dad and I swear this 1h40 minutes movie felt like a never ending nightmare.
Yes, yes, yes; it's terrible, but a) how does Maso do it? and b) please can we have a period FF movie next? Something with a late 60's/early 70's flavour.
Anyway, thanks for doing this, I know it can't have been easy watching this absolute piffle.
Whoever edited this (Ben I'm pretty sure), that Sonic Heroes clip was a joy to see at 12:31
Can’t wait for Kevin Fegie to give us a real Fantastic 4 film.
10 years from now, at this rate
@@12Daniel34 They could still make cameo’s throughout the MCU before getting there own movie, like how Spider-man was reintroduced in Civil War then getting his new movie and it didn’t have to be an origin one.
@@brandonlyon730 True, but that'd be 5 years from now at this rate xD Just want to see if the MCU holds up, cause things like The Eternals don't look too good to me.
With the krazinskis as sue and reed
@GiRayne He said one is in development, it's already been planned out and it's part of phase 5. We'll probably see them in a post or mid credits scene first.
Amazing lines like "The big city and this medium sized building." & "this is guy I want....... to Fight!" 🤣
Glad I’m not the only person who called it fant-four-stick four.
There 4re dozens of us! DOZENS!
Nobody calls it Fant-four-stic Four. Just Fant-four-stic.
Clearly.
Do you also pronounce 'se7en" as "seveh-seven-nen"?
Because that's how I've always read it.
Fuck any1 that uses numbers like that(especially in a movie title/name, I don't mind so much in a comment like mine, so that was a stupid bit but the point stands, it sucks and needs to st0p.
I can tell Ben edited this because of that sick sitekick reference at the end of the video. Completely forgot about a weird part of my childhood
Everybody talks about the Snyder cut, but I wanna see Josh Tranks verison of this
Justice League at least got some decent to good content outside of the comics already, but the F4 got like nothing
#ReleaseTheTrankCut
Luka Kozina Not to mention, Justice League at least feels like a semi coherent film, whereas Fant4stic feels like multiple different movies fighting for screen time (if that makes sense lol)
I reckon if Trank was given the power to do what he wanted it would’ve turned out great. Justice League is okay at best I just never feel compelled to rewatch
I was incredibly high when I saw this movie at like 16 years old and I shit you not me and my friend were both confused as hell as to why the preview of a bunch of kids at a science fair was going on for like 5+ minutes. Then I realized the movie had already started and this wasn't an ad, not a good start whatsoever lmao.
Stories of Josh Trank disagreeing with the studio, having small dogs damage a house, and getting into a fist fight with Miles Teller really just make me kind of like him more???
I will never put myself through the movie. James and Mason is all I need!
1:45
*My feeling towards this film*
I’ve never fell asleep during a movie, except for when I woke up in a theatre to the fantastic four standing over the smoldering crater wondering what I missed in the third act... from the looks of it, not much.
I would love for you guys to talk about the unofficial James Bond movies, 1967 Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again before No Time To Die releases.
Hey James. Don’t know if you’re gonna see this but you and mason put out superb content. You’ve been my favourite channel since you started posting way back in 2015. I’ve been keeping up ever since and have yet to see a drop in quality. You guys are the best.
Hey Season 2, I did see this and really appreciate the comment! I remember the year 2012. The movie Battleship came out and that’s all I remember. All the best mate.
13:47...This is the guy I want...TO FIGHT!!😂😂😂
The Fant4stic episode of the Weekly Planet was the first episode I ever listened to all the way back in 2015. Full circle
This movie will never be known as Fantastic Four, it will always be known as Fant Four Stick.
I *need* the world to know -- the end credit's musical score is incredible. It's utterly beautiful and perfectly describes the movie's themes in musical form. Especially the movement over the final moments of the scrolling credits. Go back, check it, trust me.
4:16 Holy shit, Ben! That sync!
The idea of doom being a herald of galactus is actually super cool, i could see a version of this movie with the silver surfer as an ex-herald filling the role of the watcher from the original galactus saga being successful
Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes was probably my favourite version of them that was on a screen
This has become one of my favourite series on UA-cam. You two are hilarious. I will gladly listen to you shit-talk/find redemption/heap praise on bad/okay/great movies, with Bens brilliant editing, all day. Do want movies yous want, what you excited for. We’ll be on board. ❤️
11:43, interpersonal chemistry!😂😂
13:35 Josh Tr4nk vs Miles Teller - Duel of the F4tes
Honestly really heartwarming to hear the director write that review praising the cast and accepting that the movie happened. Must've taken a lot of humility. I can't imagine spending months of your life working on a stressful movie. Glad he's still working and hope that Fant4stic doesn't weigh him down.
If you're talking about animation, I really liked Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes
Lovely job syncing up Mason with Dr Storm's dialogue.
Ben must be Canadian, because when they said "maybe a different thing" he put up a screen shot of the YTV website circa 2002
