Fantastic Four (2015)

[Bolty]

Final tally for RT at 9PM original embargo ending.

By they themselves breaking the embargo by releasing ads with postive spin and therefore encouraging the critics to also break the embargo.
3 of 15 vote fresh for a 20% rating.
Deviousness and hypocrisy did not pay off.

I guess you can't have your Domashev and your Dr Doom too.

"Ludacris" gave the movie a 99 out of a 100 after the celebrity screening.

That joke kind of writes itself doesn't it?

Also "big boi" and "Exudoxcie" (sp?) and rapper "young lexicon" gave it rave reviews.
Not sure is anybody with a real name liked it.

Wonder what they saw in it that they liked so much?

Also, I'm sick and tired of this exaggerated bull s*** that comic fans want EVERYTHING identical to the comics. I don't think I've EVER f***ing seen a poster on most of the forums I've been to over the years want a superhero film to be Exactly like the comics down to the smallest costume detail. If any of those fools exist they are in the darkest corners of the internet.

A few people on this website use any chance they get to s*** on comic book fans and due to mod bias they never get infracted for trolling/talking s***. I've become sick of selective reading or ignoring key points in someone's post simply to keep up an argument or s*** talking. Case in point, I've brought up numerous times that I agree that not everything in the comics would work well in the films and some films have made changes to the source material for the better. This of course got ignored every time and people would latch onto ONE, count 'em ONE criticism and write me and others off as f***ing fanboys. I'm going to be reporting like crazy in the near future... I love talking about film and cinema in general, not just comic book films but it really takes the fun out of things when people who don't give a damn about comics(nothing wrong with that of course)go out of their way to trash those who do for wanting one visual medium adapting another visual medium to actually look or feel familiar to an extent at least.

The first 2 reviews post embargo compiled by RT are rotten

RT score back down to 18%

Fantastic Four is a synthetic bum-out, an assembly-line product, a movie a group of people made just because they could.

Miami Herald

Frankly, it's amazing this is watchable at all.

Time Out

EDIT: Score dropped to 17% just as soon as I posted this comment.

Fantastic Four is a really good film, shorn of glib know-all theatrics, faux profundity and the spangly CG that's usually ushered in as dramatic short hand for, "we got nuthin'." It is, as the old saying goes, a proper movie.

Little White Lies





Down to 17% now.

This is a bad movie and you should not watch it.

RT should just rip this quote from Liam Maguren and use it as the official consensus

now at 16%

I don't know, the fact that they twisted it to originate from child abuse is pretty funny to me as it appeals to my particularly dark sense of humor.

Thats a quote many people could mistake for some good.

Two more contenders from RT....

"Resembles a pilot for a tv show you would never watch."

Or

"God, how bad was the footage they cut?"

[trans8010]

Another finalist:

"All involved are capable of much more"
