Likes : I'm going to be honest the concept is there in good casting, i will admit great choice of actor playing doom, but in all honesty im really not surprised with what they've done in this film. This film had potential to actually make a film of the fantastic 4 better than it was done before.

Ya the dark gritty tone works for the film but sorry i have to be honest this film was all over the place. It a shame really because the casting is actually good, the visual effect were amazing but overall sadly this film is a major let down.

Dislikes : The thing that were complete wrong with this film is the story, its so badly written it just doesn't have any anchor to keep the story following, we get scene that kept jump from one scene to another it just felt all over the place, nothing happen for least 1 hour 30 Min into the film but that as only a 3 second scene before jump to a slow scene it just came off as a mess which as i said its a shame because these guy actually look good as the fantastic 4 just let down but it story.

The other thing when are these directs going to learn not to make a villain look generic & stupid this is another thing that completely destroys , seriously the way Doom looked wasn't menacing or fighting ;  he looked as if a garbage bag had melt to his body with the look of a botch plastic surgery gone wrong seriously that how bad he look.

Sorry but this film need to ive die or seriously get someone that know what the hell they are doing with fantastic 4, seriously if someone can make a fantastic film of guardian of the galaxy im sure someone can make a brilliant worthy film of fantastic four.

Overall : Great acting, great casting, just a let down on story & villain concept.

Rating: 4.3 out of 5 for entertainment / 4.5 out of 10 for concept
