Review by Holycow8

The Fantastic Four: First Steps

1/10

It's just bad

Fantastic Four left a highly disappointing impression for several reasons.

Firstly, the script seems poorly thought-out and overloaded with clichés. The story unfolds too predictably, lacking original ideas and fresh plot twists, making the viewing experience dull and drawn-out. The characters are underdeveloped, and their motivations and internal conflicts remain shallow and unconvincing.

Secondly, the acting lacks credibility. The characters look paper-thin, and the interactions between them are often unnatural and forced. This is especially true for the main characters, whose emotions and relationships are poorly conveyed, which reduces the emotional impact of the film.

The technical aspects of the film are also subpar. The special effects look cheap and outdated, especially considering that the budget should have allowed for more impressive visual effects. The editing is choppy, and some scenes feel unnecessary, while the dynamics of the battles and actions lack excitement.

Additionally, the film suffers from a lack of humor and lightness.
