Today was my first rest day of the month.I was planning to stay at home because there was news yesterday that it was going to rain hard today but it didn't. Instead of being stuck at home, I decided to go to the mall and watch a movie. It's the premiere day for the Fantastic Four reboot. I didn't feel the hype for the movie but I wanted to see it since it's another superhero movie. Before leaving the house, I quickly browsed through early reviews from those who have seen it and most were negative. I didn't get discouraged though and still proceeded to watch the movie.
I don't want to talk much about the movie but all I ca say is that I should have trusted the fans. It wasn't good simply put. The casting was ok. Though I still prefer a different actor for the Human Torch, that wasn't why the film sucked. I can't really pinpoint what exactly was bad but it's different from the previous movies from Marvel. The story felt rushed and cheesy. The resolution of the conflict was also boring. I expected to see more action-packed scenes and got the short end of the stick.
While in the restroom after the movie, I heard two persons who also watched say that it should have been a direct-to-DVD release, and I couldn't agree more. How many reboots will it take to get it right?
