Then wait a day. It's not like if you don't see the movie on release day it's gonna disappear forever.
Fair enough, what's one more day?

Argh, really think we need to retire "trainwreck" seems like it isn't a disaster... just utterly bland and uneventful, which is worse to me

It begins.
Savage.
Please folks. I know you're going to go see this out of some bizarre nerd obligation. Please don't. Please. Let this fail.
I realized that after the fact, so I edited my post accordingly.
My only obligation is for each MCU film (& that's because of family tradition with my little brother). I have no obligation to see this, & if the HW review is any indication, I'm not touching this film with a 10ft pole. Besides, there's always The Gift & Resurrection F to watch, instead.
Yikes
Well there it is.

Seems like the general takeaway, it isn't the disaster many were hoping/imagining, but it doesn't seem like it is an exciting film.

So fucking sad
Maybe one day someone competent will put together a real FF adaptation.

Damn, these reviews are blistering. Variety's article does make a good point. "And having seemingly missed twice in trying to get Fantastic Four right, the studio, unlike Reed, might want to think seriously before making any more trips back to the drawing board."
So, even if this does fail, what's to stop Fox from rebooting it again, 3-4 years down the line, a la Spider-Man? I think they know the property has the potential for a blockbuster, and they have the time before the rights lapse.

Embargo's up?
Nothing is stopping them.. and I can see them pursuing a sequel to this... with a bigger focus on action
If this tanks like everyone is estimating, no way is Fox going to pursue a sequel.
The Wrap just thinks that the F4 ended right when it got interesting. Everyone else just plain didn't like it.
And did Fox remove the embargo early?

I miss when writers knew how to actually write, like reviewing something without spoiling the entire plot.

Money I guess? As much as they can absolutely keep making sub-par editions of the franchise in order to keep it, they're not making them for free.

This review made me think it was gonna get a one or zero, but we landed on a 3/5. WTF?

Oh, okay if some reviews are trickling out, I'll just be a tad less vague and say the cut action scene is The Thing paradropping.
I think I'm heading out of the thread now, the movie honestly left such a sour taste in my mouth and I've sort of made peace with it, I don't feel the need to slam it any harder than I already have.
The only thing I could say is please, please, pleaaassee do not go and support this with your money. This is The Amazing Spider-Man 2 all over again, a shitty, hacked up teaser for a film that will never come with horrific dialogue and one of the worst butcherings of a villain seen since the time Galactus was a cloud.
They want your money and they want the rights in their court, if you see the film at full price in a theater, you're greenlighting a sequel for them. If your curiosity/excitement is truly that massive, please wait to rent it for a few dollars but please, don't tell the studio heads that we want more of this.
We deserve a better Fantastic Four.

That's a huge part of why a numbered review system is arbitrary and meaningless IMO. You give the review and then throw darts at a board to give it a random numerical value it seems.
Done. After ASM2, anything that gets compared to it is automatically on my do not watch list unless I get it free.
The sad thing is, most people will not listen.

Amazing Spider-Man 2 underperformed and that starred Spider-Man. This film stars vague interpretations of not nearly as popular characters. I don't think the general public at large will just eat this up.
I like to see everything at the cinema, so I'll be going along to see this.
I get 'free' tickets with my unlimited card so I'm not sure how much profit will go to Fox.

Variety also wrote something like that ... I dont like it when studios plan a story for several movies instead of making a good one. seems like if this one fails we will never get a conclusion..
While usually most people would see it anyway out of curiosity, the lack of hype may already keep the general public away.
