Way to fall back on ad hominem.

Well, you are trolling. I go to the cinemas about three times a week. There is a ton of bad movies out there. Not sure why you are targeting me. I gave a pretty unbiased view on FF while actively calling it a bad movie.

Eeyup, just got out, completely terrible. I went with Thatonemoor and he pretty much echos my opinion, and yes it's worse than Amazing Spiderman 2

If the movie was a comic writer, who would it be? Would it be more Chuck AUsten or Mark Millar?

I will take corny over dead cannibal baby comedy anyday

It's really not that corny. My comparison to Ang Lee's Hulk makes a lot of sense. It's mostly docile dialog which is fine. Then it needs to make a hint to connect it to anything related to a comic book, then a line comes in.

The Thing's "it's clobbering time" line actually works great! It's just wasted overall because the film's gamble is fucking stupid.

It's too bad the movie establishes that line as
the catch phrase used by his older brother when he used to beat up on Grimm as a kid.

I was watching Steven Universe on Cartoon Network and the dudes' name showed up in the opening credits as a supervising producer. I thought "no fucking way" but I looked it up and sure enough...
Good for him
Reginald Hudlin

He only made Doom(bot) racist

Frank Miller's career.

Decent at the beginning, followed by some great parts, but then it just all goes to hell and you wish it was over before it got started.
Damn

Damn

Seriously, the movie was slow and sonewhat boring to begin with, but with some really good acting, but the second they get their powers we go into complete shit territory. The
time skip
is a decent idea, but they completely waist it with Reed
running away from a secure facility in the middle of nowhere somehow and not seeing the other three for a year.

To everyone else who's seen it

where the fuck did Doom get that cape? How do you make fabric on a world with no life?
The flag, maybe? I think that was left on the planet after the other three fled.
Doesn't really get explained in the movie. It does make me wonder if
there was any Doom on planet by himself
in any of earlier cuts.

The flag
was way too small, but it's the best we can get I guess I really think the second half was full of heavy rewrites.

Did they explain how the place gave them powers? And why Doom is more powerful?

The place gave them powers...for reasons, I think they all teleported back with a specific thing in their pods, Ben with rocks and Jonny was on fire. Sue didn't go to the other dimensions and just got her powers from the explosion they caused when they came back. Doom is more powerful because they leave him there and he spends a year in the other dimension.

What was in Reed's pod?
Basically reasons

Again, it's not as offensive in the film as in text. It works for the character at the end.

I don't think anything was....

Also Doom's plan is
to destroy the Earth because he fell in love with the barren planet somehow. The military wants to go to the planet to make super soldiers and plunder resources, and Doom's like, "If Earth has to die to protect my new home, then so be it."

That is so beneath Doom that it's not even insulting, it's just pathetic.
 
How was the Thing, did he have any personalty?

None at all. He's absent through pretty much all of the movie until they go to the other planet, after that he's pretty much a sad garden statue that
hates Reed.
I'm really struggling to think of a single line of dialogue he had with any of the four besides Reed. Heck, he's only known Doom for a half hour tops.

What would Aunt Petunia say?

Doom IS pathetic in this. He's a sad loner with no friends. The first time we see him he's in a small room full of trash and junk food wrappers with his hair overgrown and in a computer with way too many monitors.

Was he using a mechanical keyboard?
 
I don't think this movie has any truly outrageously bad parts to it. It's just really goddamn boring and it feels like half the movie is missing. Like, the second act basically doesn't exist and the third feels like it was sliced in half.

Lol, too be fair Reed was kinda a dick he
gets drunk and decides to teleport him, Jonny and Doom then he calls up Ben and tells him to come over and teleport with him. Ben was the only one with common sense in the other world but gets the worst end of the stick, and then Reed bails while the rest get turned into living weapons.

Was he using a mechanical keyboard?

Yes, I believe he was.

I mean the CG on Johnny was pretty terrible. Same with the fight in the climax. It wasn't really offensively transformers two bad, but that last half feels pretty much incompetently made.
