This movie has as much in common with my life experiences as watching a movie from Bollywood. It may be a good movie for some, but for me it was like foreign movie that made little sense and plodded on way too long.
There appears to be an imbecile posting five star reviews that is antagonizing the rest of the reviewers. This should not be allowed. The movie was shallow and long. Not much to go on here. A fantasy with lots of talking and little action. Not really inspiring or entertaining. Kind of a space filler for an evening. There are better movies to choose from, go for it.
the lead actor is the best actor of all time
Two and half hours, not counting previews and extras, you're looking at over three hours. Toss in the expenses of a theater and you're paying around 12 per hour for the honor of seeing a weak and boring movie.
The previews of upcoming movies were the highlights of the evening. That tells you what you're in for.
Great poster, lots of hype, and then the movie simply dies on the screen. Remember when you thought the Hobbit would be more of Lord of the Rings? Remember how bored you felt watching it? This is worse. You're imagining you're going to see a really good Marvel Movie, and then you get, this.
Who told Chad Bosewick he could act? The man makes embalmers look like they're life of the party.
I found this to be worthy of ............. got nuthin'.
At best a B movie. The ratings systems throughout North America are bought and paid for by the studios and especially Disney which owns most of the media these days. If you look overseas where studios depend upon to make money on the real stinkers, they are not posting even close to what the horrid Fantastic Four took in.
By July, the world will have forgotten this trip, but they will still have your money if you go. Remember the hype before the Hobbit? Before Bladerunner? Before every crap movie you saw that you were told it was good? This another example for the list. You will see it on Netflix next month, you may as well wait.
