The Human torch was so angry about this movie, he tried to take over Wakanda.
well he better that movie that this
Justin MacFarlane
At least then he was interesting and had great character development.
i see what u did there 😂
I wouldn't blame him.
Fun Fact: The Thing didn't interact with Sue Storm once in this film
“You know it's bad when Stan Lee won't even make a cameo”
Michael Mello
...and he cameoed in the 2003 daredevil movie.
(I can only imagine Stan Lee cried the whole day this movie released.)
ghost rider was good and stan lee didnt cameo
@@ChamarM "ghost rider was good" XD
Far from home was good and Stan Lee didn't cameo in it
I wanna die just for making that joke 😭
@@RaikanGinro wow.... u feel good about urself
The fact that it took you almost 22 minutes before calling them, “the Fantastic Bore,” is impressive
Superpiair1 I always read the title as fantfourstick subconsciously
21:48
Carlos Lopez-Ortega no, we didn’t get it whatsoever
I have a better name for it, “CRAPBORESTIC.”
*Insert "More like Bore Ragnarog" joke here*
The "clobbering time" line hurt the most for me.
Comic book movies are infamous for forced lines that are callbacks to old comic lines, but that really famous catchphrase just being tacked on like that was so lazy and half assed it was depressing.
There actually is a good Fanstastic 4 film...
It's called The Incredibles.
AND IT'S PERFECT
technically that would be Fantastic 5 then, if you include the baby in the Incredibles. XD
+David J Thomson more like "Fanta5tic". ......Only if it [The Incredibles] was a bad movie. ...........yeah. Nah Incredibles 2, should have that title some where. They all go to see a massive failure in the cinema that's based on them literally titled "Fanta5tic" lol
*Unpopular Opinion:* I liked the 2005 Fantastic Four movie, as well as the Silver Surfer sequel... I thought they were terrible _action/superhero_ movies, but very entertaining on their own silly, stupid fun way.
This one, however...
Douglas Levin At least The Incredibles doesn't have the sequel titled as The IIncredibles
The best Fantastic Four movie is The Incredibles
that's not even fan4
the amazing Spider-fan3 I think that's the joke.
It's true tho.
MegaSoulHero I think they're technically 5
The bad thing is that it's actually true
Honestly, Fantastic 420 sounds like a better movie.
Id work around the clock to finance that movie 😂
Blaze it up!
Atleast I know I'd be able to enjoy it
Weed richards
Directed by some big ass pot head
"Ah! an outside scene! Take it away!" lol I love that
AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@kaosfan1182 sounded like he was losing his mind
"TURN ON A LIGHT!" that was classic.
They saved a lot of money on the electricity bill.
also a lot on the budget considering that they only had shots with them talking in dark rooms
I am sad to say that 90% of movies do this or use the exact same color palette. That's why the mcu stands out and is a massive success: THEY HAVE COLOR. They do have to tone down colors sometimes but they do have bright and real color that you actually want to see.
Tristan
@@ilopominecrafter they think it looks edgy and cool but it just looks stupid
So...throughout the whole movie...there was only one major action scene?
WTF?
aaaand its in the last ten minutes
And they added it at the last minute!
And it's terrible and Doom suddenly forgets he can insta kill people and just starts fucking rocks around the place.
Originally there were supposed to be three big action scenes throughout the movie, but just before Teank started shooting, the studio scrapped it. Or so I've heard.
No, just one minor action scene. XP
"I'm naked in the dark!"
"Ew."
hah. I love this skit!
Ok.....
My husband laughs my damned eardrums out when this skit plays. It really is funny as hell, though 😂
@19:10
😂
Classic Walker brother material
True story: Tommy Wiseau reached out to the studio to be able to direct a sequel to this movie after he saw it and liked it (no seriously, look it up) before Fox was bought by Disney.
I would love this. At least it would be more memorable than this dark screen posing as a movie.
Oh. My. God.
This NEEDS to be crowdfunded ASAP!!!
Whatever Tommy Wiseau can make will always be better than this movie.
- "Oh hai Reed, I didn't know it was you. What's new with you?
- "I got the results of the test back. I definitely have space powers."
I wish I could see his take on this franchise. It could be glorious!
Why does FOX want us to take the team that fought MOLE KING seriously? Just make it Brady Bunch with superpowers, jesus
Exactly!!! What the Hell is wrong with embracing the franchise for what it is?! "The Brady Bunch with Superpowers"!!!! Wouldn't that be cooler than this?!
Honestly, they did this movie solely so they could keep the rights in their possession. Had they not done this, the IP would have returned to Marvel.
Who would have done a better job.
Just give into absurdity, Fox. Go ahead and revel in the corny sixties goodness or you're wasting intellectual property.
Ankford he wasn't even mole KING he's just mole MAN! the fantastic 4 movies should be super campy and fun! hell let the director of Deadpool take a Crack at it, he clearly knows what he's doing!
I believe the reason the actors weren't smiling was because they didn't have fun on the set. Josh Trank was treating the cast and crew like crap, not showing up to the set on time, not being sober when he was on set and in general being a jerk.
If that were the case, I wouldn't blame the cast for not smiling a lot.
Alex Klepp The studio was treating Trank like crap so in turn, he did it to his crew and cast.
I actually pointed that out when I rewatched this review several times, I think the actors were so fed up of the reshoots that this was the direction they had to take. But yeah, I did overhear the drama and stress Josh Trank put his cast through since the studio sabotaged his original vision.
And you're a fox shill. Go away we already know what happened Liar McLiar
NC fantastic 4 review: we're gonna watch Daredevil on Netflix
NC fantastic 4 rise of the silver surfer review: we're gonna watch iron fist on Netflix
NC fant4stic review: we're gonna watch Jessica Jones on Netflix
MCU: *makes another fantastic 4 movie*
NC: we're gonna watch Luke cage on Netflix
And one more FF so they can watch The Defenders.
Why do the Fantastic Four movies always incorporate Victor Von Doom in, yet ALWAYS use the dumbass origin of being friend turned foe of the Four? In the comics, he is a sorcerer and Supreme Lord of a fictional country called Latveria. Granted, he does go to college at Empire State University, but he also met Reed Richards and Ben Grimm and DISLIKED THEM FROM THE START!! Explosion from a machine he makes damages his face and after traveling to Tibet, forging a suit of armor, takes up the mantle Doctor Doom, he travels home and takes over the country of Latveria, then goes on to menace those he feels was responsible for the explosion-primarily Reed Richards. Wouldn't that make a better origin than the stupid "Oh, hey, I'm friends with you until I randomly get powers and decide to hate you all for no goddamn apparent reason." bullshit? And it's also stupid that they don't use it, but they keep referencing Latveria, like the Country Of Origin on the paper in this film and the fucking Humanitarian mask in the other version. If you're going to keep referencing goddamn Latveria, why can't you use goddamn Doom's original goddamn origin? CHRIST!!!! Sorry for the tangent, but it is truly the one thing about these movies that really freaking bothers me.
FilmFanaticX
Indeed.
The “goddanm” parts are a bit odd for me, but your point still stands.
I agree with you 100%
Im honestly surprised you dont have WAY more likes
They also make him one of the most cliched villains in the film that range from "stealing the girl" to "taking over/destroying the world" for, reasons. In the comics, while he was treacherous and ruthless and still wanted to take over the world he was motivated by believing that he had to take it over to make it a better place. He wanted to abolish all criminal activity, bigotry, and racial prejudice because he knew it would eventually destroy the world. This got to the point where the tiger god of Wakanda said the world would be a better place run by Doom and in Latveria Doom is a respected and beloved leader because he helps his country become stronger and more prosperous. I really hope that the MCU managed to come up with more clever stuff for Doom in their films because all he is here is a repeat of tired cliches.
No, you definitely have a point there
I’m also surprised by how much it bothers me that they seem to have totally left out one of comic Doom’s most noticeable characteristics: the bizarre proclivity to refer to himself solely in the third person, via his trademark wiggly, broken-looking “Latverian Accent” font!
“DOOM WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS, YOU FOOLS! DOOM CLEARLY ASKED FOR CREAM AND TWO SUGARS, BUT YOU SNIVELING TROGLODYTES BROUGHT DOOM AN UPSIDE-DOWN SKIM MILK DECAF WITH SPLENDA! WHY DOES THE TEMP AGENCY NEVER SEND DOOM INTERNS WORTHY OF DOOM’S SCINTILLATING GENIUS!? FETCH ME MY PHONE, SWINE- DOOM MUST CALL THE BANK OF LATVERIA AND DEMAND A STOP PAYMENT ON YOUR PAYCHECKS! DOES DOOM HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING FOR DOOMSELF?!”
In my head, he always sounded like an angry, derisive, deeper-voiced Elmo...with an accent sort of like my Russian grandpa’s.
This movie had zero personality.
The Fantastic Four aren't even hard to do! They're basically Star Trek or Doctor Who for Superheroes. A group of people who are more adventurers than they are heroes. They want to study life and the universe, explore new ground, create new things, break boundaries. They just so happen to save the world every now and then while they're on these adventures.
The tone is supposed to be fun, heartwarming, smart, and adventurous.
It's not supposed to be dark and brooding and it's not supposed to be cheesy and idiotic. They aren't superheroes--they're scientists.
Yeah it was really boring and nothing going on. But I agreed with Critic about the 2005 movies as I enjoyed them despite knowing how flawed they were. Another thing that was missing also was the family aspect of the Fantastic Four which was the most important part and what made them strong. Both two movies had them at least feel like a group of friends and family while this one doesn't do that right as most of them hate each other until Doom comes then they're good friends all of a sudden.
Steve Corona You copied and pasted my exact thoughts... Finally someone else understands!!
Let us run away together and make the FF movie exactly how it should be! It's destiny!!
***** That actually would make much more sense now that I think about it and interesting. The only film to get close to Fantastic Four is always the Incredibles. The 2005 movies second almost and the 90s one. Fant4four Stick even fails fundamentally as a movie as well.
Can't these directors just watch some Spiderman 1 or 2 and sort of imitate that style? The 2005 movie came close but as NC pointed out, there wasn't much crime fighting going on
Steve Corona here's why your arguing is bad :
why the fantastic four have no personnality ?
"...this dark gritty realistic version still has a guy named Von Doom on it"
Would you rather have his Ultimate Universe counterpart Victor Van DAMME?
I f he does split kick yes
and the cloven feet, don't forget those...
Strangely enough, this movie was supposed to follow the Ultimate comics.
Now I am picturing William Shatner as Mr.Fantastic yelling DAAAAAAAAAAMME!
Juan Hernández yes
You can't do a 2 hour movie where 1 hour 25 minutes is people talking!
Unless you're Tarantino.
Or Hitchcock. Or any actually good director. The problem is that you can't do hour and half of people talking if your movie is poorly written popcorn supposedly action film.
Or Richard Linklater
Or Kevin Smith.
Or Martin Scorsese
Or Francis Ford Coppola
How do you have Homer Simpson at a school science fair and not once did he say, "neeeeeeeeerd"
Also i know this review is going on 2 years old, but the space shuttle never flew to the moon. The Saturn V rocket for the Apollo program did.
portals in the sky are over used
they should do portals in the ground!
Nice profile picture.
LordVader1094 thanks
I'm calling for porthole portals.
[aperture sues you]
Avengers, I love your movie, but what have you started?
-I think that the four of us should have a name
-Why would we need a name?
-Because we're a team now and there's four of us so...
-Team Four stars then? O.o anybody? No...? ok

Uhh don’t you mean 0% this being good.
No, there's the odd few who does.

I’m just so glad that Michael B. Jordan got his second chance in the superhero world, and played one of the most amazing villains I’ve ever seen....
I hope the other actors get a second chance. A way to redeem themselves
Which is interesting because Chris Evans played the Human Torch prior and went on to become the greatest version of Captain America in the MCU.
Also while not doing much but Tony Kebbell who played Dr. Doom also asisted with Kongs facial expressions in Skull island in addition to having a role in that movie.
Stop acting like Killmonger was a good villian
@@MrMightyEthan Stop acting like your opinion is the only opinion that matters.
@@WalkerRileyMC I never said that. Killmonger was mid af
The biggest problem with this movie is its terrible production history. It had to do with the director getting into fights with the studio executives, which included, but not limited to, ordering reshoot without the directors knowledge and the director being deliberately locked out of the editing room. It was so bad that the director disowned the movie when it came out
badgerman Not to mention properties being destroyed and executives hijacked production that the film get torned to shreds like Baraka in Mortal Kombat by both the fans and critics that it bombed at the box office and got a 9% rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
they must have realized the movie was turning out so badly they just went crazy
More reasons to hate executives interfering with the creative process, and yet this is the worst example I've ever seen. Just reading this pisses me off, STOP RUINING MOVIES AND SHOWS YOU DUMBASSES!!! 😡
Update: Didn't expect _that_ many people to agree with me! At least I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Troin In this case, the mistake the studio made was in not firing Trank at the first sign of trouble. He was apparently a nightmare to deal with on set. The studio wanted a grittier, more grounded movie but it was Trank who decided it needed to be dark and depressing.
+Troin don't mkae the same mistake as the critic, the director was just as much a part of the problem. He took drugs while working, used his dogs to trash a room he was renting, abused the cast (particularly the woman who played sue storm in this film) and at the very least the first haalf of the film was his work.
The studio may have turned a terrible firlm into a bad one, or it may have made a bad film worse, but mark my words there is NO FUCKING WAY this was a good film at any point.
Also Trank said he didn't read or care about the comics at all, so that's another reason why it was so unlike the comics its based on
I can't wait for the next reboot, where none of them actually have powers, so The Thing is just a guy with a horrible skin disease (this of course will be Richards fault somehow), Mr.Fantastic will be really flexible, like, slightly more then the average high school gymnast, The Human Torch just likes messing with fire, (he'll use a can of hairspray and a lighter while saying "Flame on") and Sue will be so bland and characterless that she'll be "Invisible" to everyone (her character arc will be to get people to notice her).
Von Doom will be an Artificial Intelligence that Reed put in his Cell Phone and we'll only ever see him on computer moniters or through a text-to-speech voice. His name will come from an anagram that spells D.O.O.M.
The team won't even form until the end of the movie, where a guy who used to bully them says "Wow, you four are Fantastic!"
Ben will say thats stupid.
DOOM is defeated when Reed realizes he doesn't need a fake friend when his real friends where there all along, so he tosses his DOOM cell phone into a lake. (Doom-cell will have been trying to push Reed away from his friends).
Don't forget they use candles instead of light bulbs so it will be even darker, and they will all be dressed like ninjas.
That souns better than this... there is a alt universe on marvel comics "powerless" where every hero didnt won powers with the accident they had (Daredevil is only a blind lawyer, Peter parker was bite but that only fucked his arm, punisher ehmmm well... he is the punisher anyway... etc), the FF died there but this can be an alternative.
Is it bad that I actually like the idea of an A.I. Doom? I mean, it's better than having a guy named Von Doom in a 'realistic' movie.
sounds like an episode of The Venture Brothers... oh wait, it was (more or less)
Most of that first paragraph is Suicide Squad.
Hey, who knows? Maybe the sequel will be called 2icide Squad.
5:23 You missed the perfect oppurnity to play that clip of Homer Simpson yelling "Nerrrrrrrdddd!"
"mountain dew is working on another new flavor"

Oh, yes? Well, I've always loved Mountain Dew Voltage.
Baja blast
To be fair regarding the realism of the name Doctor Doom, I work with a huge database of names, and I've come across people who do in fact have the last name of Doom.
To be even more fair, I'm pretty sure the reason they went with Doom was because of the massive fan backlash they got when rumor spread his would be Domashev or something.
I'd still lay the name issue at the feet of the creators, though, since frankly Doom doesn't really work for the characters they've tried to turn him into. The 2000s films had him as a shadowy business man who turned evil because reasons, then this film had him as an egotistical scientist who gained superpowers and turned evil because reasons. I'm not exactly a comic book reader, but Doom in the comics is a mysterious, ingenious, powerful dictator who gained both his political and physical power on his own and not from some cosmic bullshit. Yeah, he started out as a scientist, but I think the focus has always been on making him and actually intimidating threat than detailing his backstory (again, I can't say for sure since I'm no expert, but that what it's seemed like).
In short, he's basically in the same vein as Darth Vader, and remember how Darth Vader was handled in the Star Wars Prequels? That's basically how these films handled him.
Wyld staar I went to high school with a guy who's last name is Fury.
Eddie the Head was his first name "guy"? (lol)
Maybe he was related to Samuel L. Jackson.
mannythaman1900 Guy is a French name actually.
This film was so bad Stan Lee refused to cameo in it and he was in Princess Diary2!
Ryan Ozog right lol 😂😂😂
Yep. Go watch the Nosagia Critic video on the Princess Diary Sequel.
He makes a cameo appearance in the film.
Ryan
Yup, Ryan's right. He played the Uncle/Grandpa who only learned English by watching The Three Stooges near the end.
Princess Diaries 2 is a fantastic film
9:17 And thus Killmonger's real motivation is revealed: he wants his car back.
14:43 Saves money on special effects. That's the reason.
21:30 It sure does, guys.
How was the tenth like on your comment yay yay
22:41 Torch clean shaven they leave the meeting
23:04 Now has a beard.
Even Batman would ask "why so serious" while watching this
Desmond Ben He'd probably also ask," Why no crime fighting?"
"Lighten up, will you? My god, you're positively grim!"
For the record, that is an actual Batman quote from the comics.
best comment i've seen this week.
there is a good Fantastic Four movie it's called The Incredibles
AND IT'S PERFECT
yep that it is
Jonathan Ellison KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEK
not sure what that means but thanks
Jonathan Ellison It's just "kek" repeated a bunch.
I was dying at the lord of the rings refrence lmao😂😂😂
We all are
That was actually the real footage from the movie itself 😂
The thing that still bugs me the most about this movie is that they never gave Ben any pants. Yes, he didn't have a thing to cover up (which makes me question how he goes to the bathroom) but didn't they feel he was human enough to deserve clothes?
The skit at the 19 minute mark was far more interesting than the actual movie.
At least the room was well lit.

The part of this review that gets me every time I watch it is when Critic is in full-blown hysterics.
"Ah! An outdoor scene! Take it away! Take it away!"
*cuts to dark room talking*
"Ahhhh... That's better!"
The crazed voice he uses is so great and sounds legit. Like he really just snapped during the review at how fucking awful this movie is. I love it.
I'll say it. The older 2000's f4 was good.
I respect your opinion dude.
that wasnt a great movie but it was good movie and at least entertaining even when it was bad. this movie is like a really poorly written fanfic, like when people take a famous fairy tale/story/movie and set it in the modern day without any magic and everyone is an edgy teenager.
I...can’t really say you’re wrong.
@@arthas640 No joke, this was literally a fanfic created by someone who's not a fan. The director hates comic books, didn't like the idea of super heroes and super hero movies which is exactly why this movie made a bunch of changes and very little is based off the source material. There was so much producer meddling too, this film was plagued by reshoots and edited differently from how the director envisioned it which is why it feels kinda like two different movies stitched poorly together in the second half.
Compare to this movie both of those movies were masterpieces
I'm surprised NC didn't bring up Sue's hair. You can literally tell where they went back and did re-shoots based on her god-awful blonde wig.
I'm surprised anyone could tell with every scene in the movie taking place in a dark room.
Really ?! *That's* your problem with this movie ?!!
How could he notice when the rooms don't have any light to show anything?
Takuan Soho nope... there are plenty of other problems. It's simply the quintessence of just how big of a dumpster fire this movie really is.
Well this movie only knows how to do 2 things:
1. Show us dark rooms
2. Make people have boring conversations
Hell the Fantatic Four with Chris Evans was better. At least they got the characters, how they get their powers, getting the look of Dr. Doom right, and had more then 1 scene of Johnny Storm being reckless.
AND MOST OF ALL
IT HAS.......... LIGHTS AND BRIGHT COLOR!!
Bobman9420 Yeah. Even if they didn’t do barely any crimefighting in the 2004 version, they at least got the looks, aesthetics and the overall personality better than this photo- and agoraphobic mess of a movie. And Stan Lee. A Marvel movie without Stan Lee equals -5% on the Rotten Tomatoes.
At least try to come of the original source material
Plus it’s not even a bad movie
There was even this F4 from the 90s that had an entire productionperiod of just one month
Literally everything about this movie is dark, The lighting, the acting, the script, *EVERYTHING!*
the lighting reminds of those edgy early 2000s movies like Underworld, where you have like 1 flickering fluorescent bulb per room.
I never noticed that the tank that ben throws completly vanishes after he throws it lol
“Come on Fox, why can’t you let us play The Avengers and Spider-Man?”
That ending is hilarious given who Disney would end up buying out.
David Reyna
I personally don’t think that was a great idea, but it was probably for the best.
YES DISNEY WILL ERASE THAT GOD AWFUL REBOOT AND HAVE THE FANTASTIC 4 WITH THE AVENGERS YES!!
@@shadowthesavagehedgehog4296 And yet, they already messed with Dark Phoenix.
@@samkresil6011 the movie would have still been bad even if they didn't change the ending
@@patax144 Well, the execs still regretted that, anyway.
"You know what, hold on a second: TURN ON A LIGHT!!!!!!"
I don't know why, but that frustrated yell cracks me up every single time. That and his enraged mini-rant about the movie's propensity for talking in dark rooms.
Same
Obvious Psudonym me too.
I agree.
What part is that?
I was thinking the same thing when i watched this in theaters. Pitch Black had more lighting than this!!
Only the Nostalgia Critic could make me tolerate sitting through this piece of trash movie a second time.
i walked out of the movie in theaters. I went to go see it since i had a family member i dont get to see often who wanted to see it so i went with her. I never even bothered to find out how it ends.
Arthas Menethil It’s so f*cking stupid, I don’t even want to describe it. Literally, my mouth doesn’t want to explain the ending right now.
That Lord of the Rings scene has more heart and passion than 99.9 of the films Doug reviews, props to you guys.
Its really funny how every comic book movie wants to be dark and gritty like the dark knight trilogy, but doesn't think about how batman was dark and gritty in the comics as well. And most other comic book heroes are fun and bright and colored. Do they want to be an adaptation of the source material or an adaptation of a clone of some other films source material?
You answered your own question there :v
(Side note, this is why I hate when people complain marvel is so colorful... the comics are colorful, what do they expect?)
Preach!
People also seem to forget that while The Dark Knight Trilogy was indeed dark and gritty, it wasn’t completely joyless and had plenty of lighthearted scenes to balance out the dark stuff. For some reason, most of the movies that try to copy its formula seem to forget this very important aspect.
Max Isola not only that but they also try to copy the realistic aspect of the TDK trilogy
But there is one problem you can make batman realistic cause he has no super powers he just a rich guy with some gadgets
Most super heroes like the fantastic 4 have so making them realistic is just not possible
It's also one of the main reasons why man of steel didn't work
Some studios need to stop copying the TDK trilogy cause most attempts failed
Interesting fact: the beat about Johnny getting his car back was originally going to have a BIG payoff. In the finale, the 4 would race back to Reed's garage, where he revealed that he "borrowed" Johnny's car and not only fixed it, but modified it to fly. Yeah...Reed turned Johnny's convertible into the FANTASTICAR! To wrap up that aspect of his character, Johnny would pilot the Fantasticar through the portal, this time not pushing it past it's limits.
Mr. Snarky still sounds terrible but at least it might've been somewhat interesting
that actually would've been cool tbh
17:51
AAH
AN OUTSIDE SCENE!
TAKE IT AWAAAYY!!
AAHAHAHAHA! THAT’S BETTER! AT 17:55
They glossed over the fact that the thing killed 43 people while in the army
23:00 "How about two guys, a girl and the *Thing* that nobody wanted?"
Wow, that was needlessly cruel.
A. L. Yeah johnny can be kind of Dickish but he isn't a fucking asshole like that scene seemed to want to push into people's minds.
I know, when i first saw the movie and heard him say that I was like "what the hell was that about?"
especially cause, apparently after 1 year of working with government, they barely interacted
The movie could saved itself a little bit if the Thing replied with "Geez Johnny, you don't have to talk about yourself that way."
As a black dude, Johnny's cruel remark was also incredibly ironic, since this version of Johnny was pretty much the token black guy character who's really only there for diversity points. Let's not go there, honey.
EDIT: I've also only just realized 'the thing nobody wanted' also describes this reboot nicely.
TURN ON A LIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!
No
@@NashmanNash YO, WE 2 YEARS AHEAD OF THEM, NOW THATS WHAT I CALL TIME TRAVEL
Wow, Malcolm's Morgan Freeman impression is spot on!
I think this movie should have spent more time on character development, action sequences, and the bonds that form among Reed, Johnny, Sue, and Ben. The movie should also not be a dark movie for no good reason.
Exactly! If it did that, it would've been a much better movie!
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TALKING? THE DARK ROOMS! WHO WILL SPEAK FOR THE DARK ROOMS?!
@@Fluffkitscripts Maybe have them, but tone down how many of them.
"I am naked in the dark!"
"Eww..."
Disney saw this review and were like "let's buy fox".
@Edward HARRISON [12M3] that would be really funny if it actually happened.
Funny enough, they wouldn't have had to: the deal Marvel had with Fox over the rights to Fantastic Four films, for reasons related to the license expiring and all that, basically says that if Fant4stic never gets a sequel, then Fox has to give the rights to the MCU for free. Knowing this, Fox kept avoiding making any confirmation that they're not making a sequel to this horrible garbage.
That at least makes sense, you buy out the competition when they take a hit and the stocks are down not when they're riding high

The funny thing is that Victor was originally supposed to have a different, less goofy last name (I think it was Domichev or something) but they changed it back to Von Doom during production
I honestly prefer the 2000s movies over this one.
Me too
That makes THREE of us!
And now it makes...FOUR OF US. That's just.. Fantastic😅

That Lord of the Rings spoof was the best part of the review.
Honestly I don't want to see the F4 fighting crime, I want to see them exploring Subterania and fighting the Moloids or going to Atlantis and meeting Namor or Attilan and the Inhumans or going into space and dealing with the Skrulls, Galactus, etc... they aren't street heroes who save people and beat up criminals. They are scientists and explorers who push the boundaries of science and exloration. They need to be a sci-fi adventure movie, not a superhero movie.
well said
Finally someone who said it.
Fordo007 agreed, I have read several comics and I have not ever seen them fight just street evil criminals, except johnny.
Fordo007 true
We just want them to fight stuff in general! Honestly when we say fighting crime that most of us want some form of interaction of fighting and something insteresting to the characters and actually have insteresting things.
Dude if my best drunk science friend asked me to go with him to another dimension and just screw around, I would never talk to him again
"And by help you I mean abandon you, not come back, and never returrrrnnnn" Ok. This part had me rolling lol. Had to give a like after that terrific joke.

I remember going to see this in theaters with a couple of friends. After the movie was over, I literally said out loud "That's it? THAT'S IT?" At least with the previous Fantastic Four, I had fun and got a few good laughs out of it. This movie is just straight up boring.
this was the only movie so far that i commented outloud how bad it was. during the film screening in theaters
By the time of the board room scene after Doom's defeat I couldn't care less about whatever they said because I was like "That can't be it, right? Doom's gonna reappear and tear out this place's roof for a REAL fight, won't he?!". It's the only film so far that made both me and my girlfriend rant while walking out of the room.
To quote the Nostalgia Critic:
"Why is talking in a goddamn dark room fantastic!?"
Agreed, the first 2 are underrated "good bad" movies. This is just... bad.
The Creeper you obviously haven't seen Howard the duck
When it comes to the fantastic 4, never send a Fox to do a mouse’s job.
(But the buying out is a bit too much.)
The buying out is irrelevant to the Fantastic Four: Fox's license for the Fantastic Four films was set to expire if a sequel to Fant4stic was never made, and they would have to give it to the MCU for free. Because of that, they kept trying to avoid talking about the idea of a sequel to Fant4stic as the moment they confirmed that they weren't making one would be the moment the Fantastic Four went to Marvel. The buyout simply sped up the inevitable.
Matthew St. Cyr Marvel also needed the X-Men.
@@BrendanJSmith Good point. Still, they were going to get the Fantastic 4 regardless of the buyout; all it would've taken was to put Fox into a position where they had to admitted that they weren't making a sequel to Fan4stic.
@@matthewmuir8884 yeah, at least Marvel now owns F4 back!
A reboot is in the works taking place in the mcu
I’m sorry, but Malcolm closing the door at the end was priceless.
There is one thing fantastic about this actually 2.
1. Fantastic that with their entire budget none of it was spent paying the light bill apparently
2. This is the first film I heard of where the behind the scenes drama was better then the movie.
Patrick they should've made a behind the scenes drama or at least a special short documentary on fantastic 4, it'll be genuinely a good doc about how fucked up Hollywood is
Landon Le hey, that might be a cool movie! I would watch it
Landon Le like Distaster Artist

Here's another thing, why would a research lab be so dark? Wouldn't the scientists want to see what they are doing?
IronPiedmont1996 yes. lol
Who cares about observing results and working efficiently when you can look sinister and dramatic?

Sooo...
Good thing they’re back at Marvel now! 👍🏼
The Shadow Man Well, They DID say that John Krasinski ( Jim Halpert’s Actor from the Office ) asked that if the MCU is going to introduce the Fantastic Four, He could play as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, we don’t really know from this point
The Shadow Man Still salty about ONE GODDAMN SJW CHARACTER and her movie that I and a thousand other people literally don’t even care about?
I fething hate Ben Grimm in this movie, Grimm was never the smartest of the gang (with Reid Richards being one of the smartest men in the Marvel universe, almost everyone looks dump), but he had skills the others didn't (like being a licenced pilot - who do you think flew the FF in the original comic?) and was always the heart of the team for me. This version didn't have any of this. So looking forward to the Marvel produced Fantastic Four, it can't be as bad as this movie.
Literally every upcoming comic book movie in the MCU and DCEU has one thing about them 100% assured and in common: they are unable to be as bad as this movie.
@@thefilmwatcher1302 few have said truer words.
@@Dwarficus What about this:
This film is the opposite of The Incredibles in every way possible. Hell, that movie is even basically a Fantastic Four film!
Did everyone would agree "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" is little bit better and watchable?
Dan EvilRobot At least both 1st & 2nd F4 movies have some comedic and lighthearted scenes than dark rooms.
Dan EvilRobot Until the Galactus cloud shows up. When that happens you realize the movie is dog shit.
yeah....Galactus cloud shows up in the end that part pissed me off but I like Silver Surfer better than the movie.
YesteryearsGamer I would've liked a Silver Surfer movie...
Ghost Rider was better than this movie.
"The clips helped us remember"
NC has become so meta. I love it
Zuriel 883 I thought they said 'Netflix helped us remember', lol
Nostalgia Critic has no fourth wall.
BillFrypher well of course not, they live in a plot hole, the only here is the one that we're atop
Or Michael Chiklis please come back.
Rob dressing up as Samwise is the funniest part of the review.
Wait he was Samwise? 😂
"Holy smokes we made weed, we're going to be the Fantastic 420". 😂
It's even worse were they didn't even get Stan Lee involved in this one.
Stan couldn't see his way in the sets because it was so dark.
45darkrai That's cuz Stan Lee didn't like this fantastic four movie. And he had cameos in the 1st two Fantastic Four movies. Now that's a bar sign.
He's like fuck this shit I'm out
45darkrai trust me, they spared him from an atrocity.
It's a really bad sign when you don't even have Stan Lee in it.
8:10 That was one of the worst shots I have ever seen. You can barely see Victor, the guy to his left is more centered in that shot, and for longer, than Victor.
I couldn't see him at all. The shot is so cluttered and poorly lit with little to no color variation that it just blends into a gray 5 second clip.
Even worse is that he is BEHIND heavy machinery and another more prominent person.
This is one of the best NC reviews, specifically parts like 5:28, 9:42, 10:12, 11:03, 12:45, 14:28, 17:04, 18:50, 20:34, 22:24, and 23:20.
MCU Fantastic 4
Directed by John Krasinski
Written by Krasinski and BJ Novak
Reed: Krasinski
Sue: Emily Blunt
Johnny: Taron Egerton
Ben: Terry Crews
Mole Man: Paul Giamatti
Victor appears in the first film as Reed’s mentor and ally but will become Dr. Doom in the sequel and will be played by Christoph Waltz. He’ll be a classic tragic villain.
Disney: We’ve had it with you, Fox!
If we can’t buy the rights to Fantastic 4, we’ll just have you buy YOU!
And then the boss of Fox (Played by Malcolm) is all like "Well shit! There's goes our superhero franchise."
Dedric Silva there goes every franchise we have
I pray to every known God that Disney will try to get it right; at least try!
@@b3rz3rk3r9If it's ANYTHING like Guardians of the Galaxy, it'll at least be 80%

I'm suprised they didn't bring in Santa Christ. Or give Rob his own quirky character. Like I
"But the charts says"
I didn't realize his was supposed to cosplay Sam until he said the famous "I can carry you" line.
Fun Fact: Tommy Wiseau wanted to direct a sequel to this movie...........think about that for a while

@@garrtoons4303 Damn right
Nostalgia Critic movie reviews are always pretty funny but this for me is one of the absolute funniest I have seen
Samurai Jack Season 5 did the dark and gritty storyline better then this movie ...
Amen.
It did something bad?
No shit
The fact that the Fantastic Four are now in the MCU, makes the ending even funnier.
Holden B. Huffman hell yeah
Good thing Disney bought fox so fantastic 4 could finally have a good movie
@Kryptoskillet I sincerely hope so, I have always really liked the Fantastic Four and the wholesome yet action-packed tone they always presented, exploring new fascinating worlds as not only heroes but most of all as explorers and living their lives as a family. If it wasn't for the Fanatic Four, we would likely have no Marvel Comics Universe, hence no expanded universe full of heroes no Iron Man, no Thor, no Guardians, no Avengers, and as such no studios taking the chance to utilise such character's cinematical, which have now become cinematic juggernauts... just think about that!
They were Marvel's 'First Family' and were truly a family, and they deserve so much better. Some of my favourite runs of the Fantastic Four comics were Stan Lee's and Jack Kirby original run, Mark Waine's run, and the best FF series being the Johnathan Hickman run, all of which embody, the heart, wonder, and depth of the Fantastic Four. I have faith Marvel will learn from Fox's mistakes, and hopefully, John Watt's will actually take time and dedication towards crafting these characters correctly and making at least a good,... not great, but a good Fantastic Four film.
23:29 "And that was FanSnoreStic" 😂
Okay, that Lord of the Rings parody near the end killed me xD
Joshua Essenburg saaame. Do you know the song that played?
"I'm naked in the dark."
"Ewww."
Love it.
@sasha: That's damning this video with faint praise. But yeah, that section was hilarious.
i think that the director thought that by a darker representation he literally thought "darker" as in lighting
Still, this is the best unhinged tantrum I've seen in a while. So we can't say this movie didn't at least inspire some entertainment.
I don't blame Josh Trank for this disaster though. It was Fox that keeps interfering with his work throughout the making of the films.
The Nun in a nutshell. The darkest chapter in the franchise.. oh its dark alright.. literally
I remember it was said that Josh Trank's original vision for the movie was a lot in common with the MCU, but the dark and edgy thing was a studio mandate.
5:39 When Doug Walker makes a reference to back to the future, the kids conducting the experiment in the garage was actually the same garage in back to the future part II. Perfect timing.
It was? Where’d you find that out?
“I want to be the first person in human history to teleport himself. It’s already possible to transport quantum information from one location to another.”
Me: yeah like teleporting this movie to the trash can behind an Arby’s.
The Homer Simpson jokes were the best part, 'Hm it only transports matter..'
If Fantastic Four was sold back to marvel, would anyone think it would be a good Netflix series?
because they would have more time to flesh out the characters and actually have action in it.
Yeah, Fantastic 4 would work much better as a series, especially if they make it as a sci-fi adventure (like Star Trek).
TheMasterOfAllStuff Netflix will make it cheap looking.
TheMasterOfAllStuff hm ... as long as that would mean doom replacing thanos as main baddie in future mcu ^^
I would rather see a movie from them honestly, you don't even need to do the origin because people already know it. They go to space and get fucked up, not that complicated.
TheMasterOfAllStuff honestly I'm at the point of thinking Fantastic Four will never be good on screen.

This movie was remarkably stupid. The only reason it was made was to allow Fox to keep the franchise, I know, but even so...
Alexandre Martins there's no reason why they don't give it back to Marvel, they don't want to make these movies, they just wanna keep the rights away from Marvel, they're just petty
KKEntertainment Why can't they just share?
Alexandre Martins Fox's Greed, & Pride is THE Reason why Marvel cancelled the F4 comics, & wanted to shove Inhumans to the spotlight.
Alexandre Martins Fant4stic inadvertly force Disney to cancelled the Boba Fett movie.
Because they're greedy assholes, all of them. Rothman, Gianupolos, the Murdochs, Nallen, Zweifach, Cheesbrough, Henderson, Gaismaier, Nolte, Nova, Smith, Abernathy, Freer, Landgraf, Monroe, etc. And they can all go to hell for keeping the goddamn rights!!!!!
