So... Fan4stic. Finally got around to seeing it, but I don't know why I bothered. It was, put plainly, TERRIBLE!
To be honest, Miles Teller and Kate Mara had near stellar performances as Reed Richards and Sue Storm, respectively. What a waste to have Kate be there, and play someone with absolutely no enthusiasm. Michael B. Jordan's Johnny Storm was, again, a waste of an extreme talent. Jaime Bell seemed to just mail it in, not putting any effort into the conflict that Ben Grimm should have displayed, though admittedly, his character was written without that conflict.
Toby Kebbell was absolutely AMAZING... as Koba in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. In this film, he is TERRIBLE. Everything about Doom was underwhelming to the Nth degree.
A couple of the scenes were reminiscent of old Fox movies. The one that sticks out in my mind is when Doom blows up Dr. Storm. This made me think of none other than the most hated scene in the most hated X-Men film, when Jean Grey as he Phoenix similarly blows up Professor X. Was Fox trying to remind us that this wasn't their first fail?
