Fantastic Flop

My love for movies has taken me to cinemas to watch a marathon of ideas that I think sometimes do not not help my life goals. But time and time again, I am back in the same damn chair hoping the next movie I watch will make some sort of sense. For the first time in my life I was right about something... Fantastic 4 was a fantastic flop!!

So, there are a couple of things I will lay out just so you know where I am coming from and hope that you get my drift by the end of this blog!
1. I am in love with the idea that someone who is a major genius with a doctorate in whatever field, went to school and 'aced' at what ever they did.
2. Foster siblings never get along, neither do they support each other unless one has much more money than the other.
3. Friendship from birth is never a thing!!!
4. Just because I am angry doesn't mean I want to destroy the world!!!

So, Reed and Ben
1. are friends from early childhood. I think that the person who directed, had so much to put into the movie, he removed the more vital embarrassing parts about bonding as children to be that tight as friends till the end.
2. I would not be called up in the middle of the night to come check out my best friend's experiment! I would wait till morning.
3. In a place with so much high tech equipment, how does a drunk student get the guard to just let his friend into the building? I might be wrong, but I am sure not going to walk into a facility, let alone to change a simcard and the guard at the entrance doesn't give me BS.... yet again, what do I know about this 'science-y' stuff!!
4. For goodness sake, give Ben some pants! I see his butt crack and so, I am sure his front must have something swinging away! Or was it just that I have such a perverted mind?

The Storm Siblings
1. It is so far fetched, they had to be step siblings. I am not sure about this, but in the developing world, when one of your siblings is doing way much better than you academically, you never ever want to be associated with them however much your dad has the money to make that happen!
2. So, Sue not Susan gets to miraculously be affected by the landing of the make shift time travelling space craft. What about all the other people who worked in the lab?
3. Johnny is such a white man's name (I'm not being racist). If you doubt me, then try Google, yahoo, bing, whatever search site there is and I am sure you will have to come to the same conclusion!

Doom
1. Again, like the character of Reed, Doom should have also been a doctor of the sciences. If that makes sense. Not some failed man that just let his genius go to waste!!
2. He was just not angry enough! More like a hippy who hated the ways of the government, had a thing with Sue Storm and probably would have gone on to do great things with his life. Still shaking my head at the writer who just assassinated one of the best villains of all time!!

Well, so you think I didn't have a date for the movie and so i just had a bad movie experience. I would like to challenge you to rent the movie so that you can watch it over to make sure I was wrong rather than go to the cinema with a hot looking chick or great looking guy and you forget about why you went to the movie. I guess proving me wrong will be one boring solo date!!
but at the end of the movie, you will enjoy the poor acting, slow punch lines and when Reed says, "fantastic Four", you will realise the editing was also lucking when it comes to big time block busters that shouldn't even have a sequel!!
