I heard that the contract for fantastic 4's IP meant the movie company had to make a movie with it at least every 10 years or they'd lose it. They subcontracted it to 20th century and because nobody gave a flaming shit about it, they put out a shitty f4 movie every 10 years.
Disney now owns the company that they contracted the rights to so they had a hand in the most recent one, but not the others afaik.
This is how Sony’s Spider-Man rights work (worked?). It’s why we’ve had 3 reboots in the last 20 years and why Marvel had to contract the rights back from Sony to get him in the Avengers movies.
The latest one was easily the worst one yet.
Oof. Gotta disagree with that. I hated the first one with Galactus and Silver Surfer. And I hated both previous versions of Doctor Doom. Still might hate this one, too, of course.
I thought this one set up the new cast without fucking anything important up, which is better than the other movies. It has a cool aesthetic.
I didn't walk out needing more of them, though. I think some of the high points of the infinity saga are just a tough act to follow. Even movies that I really enjoyed like Thunderbolts just don't have the same punch as Winter Soldier or Civil War.
Bad plot, extremely bad pacing, bad writing, bad acting, bad and boring fight scenes, bad villains. Galactus's big fight was literally just... him walking through a city... The aesthetic was bizarre and did not feel authentic. Truly zero redeeming qualities.
Never saw the 90s one I take ITT?
Although it wasn't...awful. And for the budget, the Thing costume was impressive.
