Since you see the words joyless with no humor tossed around in many reviews.
Fantastic Four...isn't fantastic but I do think it had it's enjoyable moments and it does have a small amount of humor. So I wouldn't say there was no laughs.
The problem is that the main four actors together are the way I expected; like they were randomly chosen. Miles Tellar and Jamie Belle prove to be better in their roles as I expected. But Kate Mara and Michael B. Jordan aren't believable as two people that were raised together.
Not because of his color but because they have no chemistry. The film doesn't even get into if she was adopted or what. While despite being cocky; Michael B. Jordan just is nowhere near as funny as Chris Evans as Johnny Storm. Evans played the part like he ownded it. Jordan however doesn't even get much of a chance to even show why he was cast.
Toby Kebbell gets to steal the show in the beginning as Victor who of course becomes Dr. Doom. He's not an evil blogger as rumored. He's a scientist who wants to work on a teleportation device with Sue Storm (Kate Mara) alone. But Reed (Miles Tellar) is there and getting along well with her. Which makes Victor jealous; that love triangle goes nowhere though.
According to director Josh Trank; Fox hacked the movie to bits. So maybe the love triangle was supposed to go somewhere. But Fox just cared about getting the movie out there so Marvel wouldn't get the rights back.
I liked some of the science fiction elements of the film and maybe Trank's complete vision might have been better than Fox allowed. However; watching the 1994 B-Movie on YouTube yesterday; I felt like more love for the comic was put into the making of that movie.
Even if it wasn't great they wanted to make a faithful adaptation. Trank just wanted to reinvent the Fantastic Four with a more serious tone which doesn't work for them; whether his complete version would have been better or not. - DirectorFrank MillerStarsGabriel MachtSamuel L. JacksonScarlett JohanssonRookie cop Denny Colt returns from the beyond as The Spirit, a hero whose mission is to fight against the bad forces in Central City.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsTobey MaguireKirsten DunstTopher GraceA strange black entity from another world bonds with Peter Parker and causes inner turmoil as he contends with new villains, temptations, and revenge.Full of whining and crying. You also have convenient memory loss, emo Peter Parker, an engagement sub-plot that goes nowhere "due to MJ being a bitch", a wasted Venom and the list goes on.
- DirectorJoel SchumacherStarsVal KilmerTommy Lee JonesJim CarreyBatman must battle former district attorney Harvey Dent, who is now Two-Face and Edward Nygma, The Riddler with help from an amorous psychologist and a young circus acrobat who becomes his sidekick, Robin.I always liked this but in a guilty pleasure kind of way. The movie has awful lines, Carrey over the top "would have been the perfect Riddler if he wasn't so goofy" and was too campy.
There's probably more wrong with it but I have a soft spot for it like I said. Hell I saw it 2 times back to back when I was 15.
Still it was a step in the wrong direction next to films like the Dark Knight, Batman Begins and the 1989 Batman. - DirectorLexi AlexanderStarsRay StevensonDominic WestJulie BenzFrank Castle, known as the Punisher, ruthlessly demolishes organized crime, but it starts an even bigger war.
