Nope.
in fact, the reason Ben becomes 'the thing' is because his capsule opens when they're returning and a bunch of the rocks the thing is made of fall in

WHAT.
I just...WHAT?
Also, did the movie explain why this science facility allowed these young and inexperienced adults to travel to another universe/planet?

It's essentially a drunken move Doom, Johnny, Reed and Ben do after hours.

Doom, Johnny, and Reed are all drunk and pissed off that the government is gonna use the machine first to travel to the other dimension instead of them. So Reed, drunk of course, suggest they secretly travel to the other dimension without anyone knowing so they can plant an American flag and claim they were the first ones to set foot on another world like Neil Armstrong. Reed calls up Ben to join them since he worked with Reed to build a prototype teleporter in school so he should get a chance to see the other world. Basically there entire accident was because they were acting like drunken idiots.

ok even in the comics the origin of the F4 is dumb and not interesting, it's just Reed screwing up.
The first fatal mistake of this reboot was doing another stupid origin story about a team who's origin isn't even interesting. It needed to jump right to the full family(Im including Franklin and Valeria) already established and doing there thing.

Those spoilers sound amazingly stupid.
It's a repeat of Battleship.
They wanna post the picture in Instagram no less.
I am at a loss for words.

That's straight out of a Treehouse of Horror episode...
Perfect reaction.
Yup.
You know the more I talk about this movie the more I'm starting to like it for all gone wrong reasons.
So no jokey Johnny and Ben back and forth?
Now several reviews said that
Ben might as well not be there. His only lines are to Richard?
Yup.
He does have a line or two towards government man, and grunts towards Johnny in the end, but it's all the same.

Damn even after two shitty movies and it still turned out like this? Are we ever going to get a good fantastc 4 movie?
Wait, what, this actually happens???
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Maybe Ben Grimm is like the Gargoyles from Hunchback and it's purposefully ambiguous whether or not Ben Grimm truly exists, or is a schizophrenic hallucination of Reed's.

Who's trying to kill F4 harder. Marvel or Fox?
Fox.=p
Sure we can, but Marvel Studios has to be the one to do it. It's clear now that the guys at Fox don't know how to make a Fantastic Four movie.
In other news, Collider Movie News released their spoiler-filled review for Fant4stic.

Doom's introduction is him sitting at his computer desk playing AC: Unity with his mind.

If Doom was to ever play a video game he'd order Valve to make Half-Life 3 but only print one copy that he owns.

Some of these spoilers don't actually come across like that on screen as others have mentioned. The accident/transformation scene is legitimately awesome and dark.
That would be awesome.

Dr. Doom is literally in this movie for ten minutes at the end. What a complete waste.
Or maybe
they had no idea of the scale or design for the Thing when they were filming the scenes and no one knows where to look, so they just kept the shots that werent completely ruined in post because FOX wouldnt greenlight reshoots.

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
Isn't the book already cancelled?
Yes. But to be fair, the F4 haven't sold very well in recent years, anyway. Plus both Human Torch & The Thing are gonna appear in other comics (Johnny has Uncanny Inhumans & Uncanny Avengers, while The Thing has Guardians of the Galaxy).

Actually, there was a few months of re shoots, IIRC.
Not only that but Secret Wars is, at it's core, a story about Reed vs Doom. F4 is a series that needs a great writer on it otherwise it will suck, so I'm totally cool with Marvel treating it more like a series of mini-series that they only do when a great writer has a great idea.
Exactly, Secret Wars is basically a Fantastic Four book in disguise (seeing as it's Hickman, I'm not surprised).

Think it was already mentioned that it only made $2.7 million on its Thursday night opening.
Although seems F4 is now expected to only make $30 million this weekend.

This was already mentioned by Variety, a link that I posed not too long ago. Hell, there's an entire thread dedicated to the report.

Oops my bad.
I just wish FOX would either give the property back to Marvel or give it to a writer and director that has actually read the best runs the book has to offer, instead of the cliffnotes plot summary and nothing else.

I could see that. Maybe Latveria is the medieval name of Sokovia, and Doom is descended from their royalty.
I could also see Marvel's plotlines setting up the FF's origin perfectly.
Make Ben Grimm a pilot working for SHIELD. After the Battle of New York in 2012, SHIELD becomes interested in faster than light travel in order to gather intelligence on potential alien threats. Ben brings his former college roommate, Reed Richards, in to lead the project. Sue is Reed's fiance and lab assistant, and is also the legal guardian of her teenage brother, Johnny.
Ben, Reed, and Sue test Reed's vessel, and Johnny stows away on board. The ship comes out of warp in the middle of a mass of unknown cosmic energies, giving the four their powers.
Years later, after the fall of SHIELD, Reed sets up the Future Foundation think tank, and all this backstory is given in a few minutes by a tour guide at the visitor's level of the Baxter Building.
Use Galactus or Annhilus as the villain to differentiate it from the four flops, an instead use Doom in an Iron Man movie, seeking revenge for his people against the creator of Ultron.
That review's horseshit, though.
