It wasn't baaad, but it wasn't great. It was a solid MEH. What a waste of two hours. I know, I know, I should have known better(it's a goddamn Marvel movie) but I love the FF and was curious. Great casting and aesthetic, but utterly lukewarm when it comes to memorable scenes or any kind of wow moments. Very FF paint-by-numbers. Esecially after DC killing it with Superman, it makes this movie look even more mediocre. c/movies I promise I'll never do this again 😭

The contrast between it and Superman couldn't be more stark

Superman is a movie with a clear idea or what it is and a real message while Fantastic Four seemed even more afraid to say anything about anything than the MCU usually is

Superman was pretty open about it's anti fascist politics and it's easy to draw parallels between the villains of the movie and the real life tech billionaires and war criminals currently committing genocide while I couldn't find any message in Fantastic Four other than maybe a really weird anti abortion message
