Thomas Baron agreed. Corman's 1884 version had the book's look but the 2005 had more budget and retained the interpersonal dynamics. They at least felt like a family and a team. They fucked up Doom and made Torch an idiot but that's nothing compared to the 2008 movie and of course the 2015 one.
FOX: Hey Mr. Trank, just sit down and let us do the directing. Josh Trank: But...I had a great vision for this film. I wanted to explain the whole story between michael B. Jordan and Kate Mara's character, I want to make the Thing actually badass, I also had this awesome idea for the look of Dr. Doo- FOX: *stabs Josh Trank with tranquilizer dart* OK guys. We have full control!
Robert Wild dont feel bad, i was one of them too , even so i have seen some reviews saying that there is a ton of things that they showed in the trailers that didnt make it into the movie, at all.
Robert Wild Can't blame yourself. Solid director, an amazing cast, but a horrible studio. They destroyed the directors vision. We can only have X-men from them i guess :(
Zesty Afrikan Even then, it's not like he left the project. The disaster isn't completely Josh Trank's fault, but he still let his name be attached to it and didn't put effort into trying. Plus there's the terrible script. Just saying that there were many bad variables that caused this abomination of a movie.
"Choke on your popcorn as they reached into our pockets to take our money out, they kissed our girlfriend on the cheek, slapped our mother in the head and said FUCK YOU" This should be on the cover of the DVD. Y'know where they usually put quotes from reviews!!!
LunarSpiral1127 he looked a little better then that pic they added some CG but he still looked fucking stupid. then again, they all did. there was nothing great about this movie.
Sean Review yah really it does. how do you know hes riding a bandwagon? I watched it was like WTF was this trash so i went to see what other people were saying, and saw almost everyone with a brain agreed and felt good. I knew i wasnt crazy. it doesnt take much to notice how shitty this is.
The beginning of the movie already felt like watching a deleted scene from the DVD that should've been deleted. Who knew most of the actors could be as bad as the child actors. The action was horrible. Dr. Doom was boring. The story was boring. Mr. Fantastic if a wuss. Just imagine the 2005 Fantastic Four with a failed Nolan copycat tone attempt.
Oh, and according to Josh Trank, this wasn't the film he was trying to make. The previous attempt was one that didn't even so much as RESEMBLE the comic and he's accusing Fox of making it bad. All in favor of a MCU Fantastic Four movie anyone?
Ian Greene I wouldn't be surprised if he had written a much better film. Thats the reason Edgar Wright left Ant Man because they tried changing it into a completely different movie than he had written. Chronicle is one of the best Superhero movies of the past decade, they really messed up if they did get involved.
Scott Behnke Ant-Man was Marvel, Fant4stic is Fox. Both studios have their good and bad but everything points to Trank being an unprofessional ass hole who turned in a $110M afterbirth casserole, leaving the producers scrambling to cobble together something the least bit watchable.
What is everyone problem with the earlier fantastic four movies with Chris Evans and Jessica Alba? I actually enjoyed those movies. Sure they didnt do the best job with Doom or Galactus and neither movie had a great story. But I thought the casting and acting was really good and i LOVED how the did the Silver Surfer
People hate the campiness.. The special effects were extremely lackluster to as well.. The characterization of everyone was straight up off.. Not just when it relates to the canon, but just when it relates to how these characters should act just in general as characters in a movie. And second the plots. The plots are so lackluster and incoherent that they're parodies of themselves.. The acting is actually not good the characters don't feel into there roles Celt maybe gruffod he does decent as reed Richards but that character is so far from the canon and anywhere he should be that the acting comes off as forced in a way that makes it unbelievable...
Red Hood Reviews I read that GREEN LANTERN is The Dark Knight compared to this... I can't even believe it. I wanted this movie to be amazing so badly. I won't waste my money on it now :( .
Hey John....I have been LOVING your videos for a long time now. I recently purchased those LED glow lights you have and they are great! Are those lights you have on your wall the same ones? I like the way your DVD bookcase and surrounding walls are lit up and was thinking of trying something similar out in my own movie cave. Thanks man!
Maybe if Marvel and Sony can make a good Spiderman movie, they'll reach a similar deal with Fantastic 4. I know, by then regular folks will be exhausted with all the rebooting
Brad Bird has pretty much admitted that Pixar's The Incredibles was an unauthorized peek at what a good Fantastic Four origin film would look like, Mole Man as first villain and all.
Am I the only one who thought Doom looked fucking awesome? He looked scary as shit and how he killed people was impactful and almost disturbing. I really liked that part.
Joshalots yah id say you are the only one. he looked fucking stupid. and walking down a hallway and people dropping dead doesnt strike me as impactful. he musta been to lazy to lift his hand or something idk maybe too much jerking it thinking of sue while alone in the other dimension he couldnt feel his arm.
i downloaded Over the Top just for you man... you're fucking awesome, keep it up. Ps. i would like to see more of you and Stuckmann, you two have great on camera chemistry together.
I do agree that the bigger version of the Thing from the last Fantastic Four movie was better than the previous Fantastic Four movie, and I did like how they showed the audience that Sue can fly with her amazing cosmic powers.
According to Fox's Financial statements Fant4stic lost so much money that it even took away from all the money made from X-men: Day of Future Past. Yeah, not only did bomb at the box office, but it killed the money made from another film, killing two movies in it's progress. That it not good.
that movie not only broke my heart, but my soul. Dr. Doom Looked liked he was the receiving end of the Silver Surfer jizzin in a ridged magnum XL condom topped with glitter.
John, I tried parts of your technique for watching a movie to see if I like them before I do it for real. As I was coming home from vacation, at one point, I got a small pack of Sour Patch Kids to see if I like them (also, I AM NOT making this up; they have Sour Patch Kids smoothies now!), and I did, but I think I need to try it a couple more times to get accustomed to the taste. THEN this morning, I just tried your technique when it comes to sodas. Three ice cubes in it, no more, no less. I tried it with root beer, though, because that's my soda of choice (hope you're okay with that). I haven't tried it for real yet, like I said, but I thought of a movie to start it with: a little gem called Equilibrium… With Christian "HOCKEY PAAAAADS!" Bale, and Sean "I Die In Everything" Bean.
Hey man. Love your reviews.. Oh and by the way, NOS, Monster and Jacked 3D, called, they want to sponsor you bro. You need more energy when you do your vids. 😀
The 2005 & 2007 films I thought were awesome. Sure thye coulda been better but I enjoyed them. Loved the chemistry between the F4 members and the light-heartedness of the films. Wish there would have been a third one.
SO I WENT BACK ALL THE WAY BACK TO UR VIDEOS FROM NOVEMBER 19 2010 AND ALL I GOT TO SAY IS OMG HAHAHAHA U HAVE GONE A LONG WAY ME AND MY BROTHER ARE STARTING A MOVIE REVIEW PAGE HERE VERY SOON CUZ U CHRIS AND JEREMY ARE HUGE MOTIVATION
@ 5:50 Dude you should definetly play Ben Grimm/The Thing in the next F4 attempt! That catch phrase was spot on man. As for the movie, all i can say is, the dimension traveling could had made for such an interesting plot in future movies, the Thing actually looks cool in this movie, and Dr.Doom looks like silver-metallic crap (literally)
Dude your review is hysterical! In a "good" way! It was like watching a WWE guy giving a flexing review! Btw, I like the inside info. on this awful flick being a "cash grab"....those f*****g studios ARE ripping the viewers off..BIG TIME! Cheers bro!
6:06 I am gonna have to heavily disagree with u on that. The early 200s films at the very least tried embracing the corniness of the comic. Plus the cast had way more chemistry. Tbh I don’t think they’re even that bad. I haven’t seen the 94 version so I can’t speak for that, but as far as the early 200s ones go I thought the first 1 was decent , and 2nd one was very mediocre. They’re still not great though. Fant4stic is just awful though.
I'd watch the 2005 one and its sequel any day over this
Agreed I like those movies even if people hate them
same, I love the 2005 film, didn't care much for the sequel though
Thomas Baron really? yikes...
Thomas Baron agreed. Corman's 1884 version had the book's look but the 2005 had more budget and retained the interpersonal dynamics. They at least felt like a family and a team. They fucked up Doom and made Torch an idiot but that's nothing compared to the 2008 movie and of course the 2015 one.
azraelswrd (That was 2007.)
He's personality is jokey and happy. His arms say "I'll break you!!"
Hell yeah
BlackBoyTV His videos make me feel like he like he'll snap my neck like Bane in TDKR
FOX: Hey Mr. Trank, just sit down and let us do the directing.
Josh Trank: But...I had a great vision for this film. I wanted to explain the whole story between michael B. Jordan and Kate Mara's character, I want to make the Thing actually badass, I also had this awesome idea for the look of Dr. Doo-
FOX: *stabs Josh Trank with tranquilizer dart* OK guys. We have full control!
Dantaefett Icus They could’ve let him directed it
"The Incredibles" is the best "Fantastic Four" movie. :)
I love when people say that because that’s what the fantastic 4 comics are
Fuck, and I was one of the people who defended the trailers for this movie...
U said it bro and you know what FUCK Fox!! I only trust them for the X men now
Chris Gonzalez Thankfully deadpool looks freaking amazing.
Robert Wild dont feel bad, i was one of them too , even so i have seen some reviews saying that there is a ton of things that they showed in the trailers that didnt make it into the movie, at all.
Robert Wild Can't blame yourself. Solid director, an amazing cast, but a horrible studio. They destroyed the directors vision. We can only have X-men from them i guess :(

Plus there's the terrible script. Just saying that there were many bad variables that caused this abomination of a movie.
Shaun the Sheep is a claymation movie with no dialogue and it is literally 10 times better than this Fanfourshit.
I agree
FAN-FOUR-STIC!!!
FANT-FOUR-STIC
what did you just decide the "T" doesn't exist?
Ken Gabriel OOOOOOOOOOOO REKT
I always call it that 😂
FAIL-FOUR-SH*T
Ken Gabriel Forgot about it sorry :P
"Choke on your popcorn as they reached into our pockets to take our money out, they kissed our girlfriend on the cheek, slapped our mother in the head and said FUCK YOU" This should be on the cover of the DVD. Y'know where they usually put quotes from reviews!!!
Wait. That's what Doctor Doom looked like in the movie?!
Dear god, what've they done to him?!
LunarSpiral1127 say what you will about the other F4 movies but at least Doctor Doom actually looked the part.
LunarSpiral1127 They say he looked like a crash test dummy covered in shit.
LunarSpiral1127 he looked a little better then that pic they added some CG but he still looked fucking stupid. then again, they all did. there was nothing great about this movie.
***** lol
Dr doom looked like a crappy Putty Patrol From MMPR
Fantastic 4 2015 is so terrible, it makes Fantastic 4 and Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer look like The Godfather and The Godfather Part II
Jeez
Batman1989King no really. stop riding the band wagon.
Sean Review yah really it does. how do you know hes riding a bandwagon? I watched it was like WTF was this trash so i went to see what other people were saying, and saw almost everyone with a brain agreed and felt good. I knew i wasnt crazy. it doesnt take much to notice how shitty this is.
Its not that bad
The Tiger Lord dunno what you were watching.
The beginning of the movie already felt like watching a deleted scene from the DVD that should've been deleted. Who knew most of the actors could be as bad as the child actors. The action was horrible. Dr. Doom was boring. The story was boring. Mr. Fantastic if a wuss. Just imagine the 2005 Fantastic Four with a failed Nolan copycat tone attempt.

All in favor of a MCU Fantastic Four movie anyone?
Give the rights back!!!!!!
Ian Greene I wouldn't be surprised if he had written a much better film. Thats the reason Edgar Wright left Ant Man because they tried changing it into a completely different movie than he had written.

DiabolicalApostle And this douchebag almost gave us a Star Wars spinoff.
Ian Greene Oh god, please, just let Marvel do it
At lest we have deadpool:)
Tombine Tombine At least we have antman :p.
Tombine Tombine It's not sure that it will be good.
They showed the trailer in my screening.
Tombine Tombine Deadpool's gonna suck.
TheRealDorkKnights like your life
John Flickinger sent me here from one of his future livestreams. I want to send this version of John to fight the current one.
the next terminator film?
@@Wing4455 it already has a better premise than the last 3 Terminator movies
Hahaha
What if I told you that already happened and the current version killed this version….
@@JohnFlickinger damn the legend replies
Save us, Marvel Studios. You're our only hope.
Why no Ant-Man review?
YE Sfetsos because its already good he doesn't need to review it lol
Arraik Cruor yea I really enjoyed that movie, I was getting tired of avengers.. avenging all the time XD
Who Cares How about we get James Gunn to do one of these on the side? If we can make Guardians work… if we can make Ant-Man work…!
Who Cares
Who Cares The Winter Soldier is awesome as fuck
What is everyone problem with the earlier fantastic four movies with Chris Evans and Jessica Alba? I actually enjoyed those movies. Sure they didnt do the best job with Doom or Galactus and neither movie had a great story. But I thought the casting and acting was really good and i LOVED how the did the Silver Surfer
***** whats your point? the casting on this was good too it still sucked. just like the last two and of course the one from the 90s too
People hate the campiness.. The special effects were extremely lackluster to as well.. The characterization of everyone was straight up off.. Not just when it relates to the canon, but just when it relates to how these characters should act just in general as characters in a movie. And second the plots. The plots are so lackluster and incoherent that they're parodies of themselves.. The acting is actually not good the characters don't feel into there roles Celt maybe gruffod he does decent as reed Richards but that character is so far from the canon and anywhere he should be that the acting comes off as forced in a way that makes it unbelievable...
Tyler Jacobson The special effects in the '05 version look *way* better than this one. And that's *saying something*.
to me, Fantastic 4 2005 version was better. It may be suck but at least we can watch Jessica Alba strip :)
Creep
So far the reviews for this movie haven't been good at all. Is it really THAT bad? Damn.
Red Hood Reviews I read that GREEN LANTERN is The Dark Knight compared to this... I can't even believe it. I wanted this movie to be amazing so badly. I won't waste my money on it now :( .
*****
I know, right? It's such a killer statement.
Red Hood Reviews Dear God, it was AWFUL.
there are no words to even begin to describe just how terribly horribly awefully bad it is -_-
You left me to rot in that abandoned wing of Arkham for over a YEAR!... With him...
Hey John....I have been LOVING your videos for a long time now. I recently purchased those LED glow lights you have and they are great! Are those lights you have on your wall the same ones? I like the way your DVD bookcase and surrounding walls are lit up and was thinking of trying something similar out in my own movie cave. Thanks man!
im here from your latest live stream. you wasnt wrong
Same lol
John talked about this on his live stream last night and wow he was right. He's frickin terrifying in this review. 😦
Maybe if Marvel and Sony can make a good Spiderman movie, they'll reach a similar deal with Fantastic 4.
I know, by then regular folks will be exhausted with all the rebooting
Brad Bird has pretty much admitted that Pixar's The Incredibles was an unauthorized peek at what a good Fantastic Four origin film would look like, Mole Man as first villain and all.
Thank you.
I goddamn love this channel. Marathon ALL THE VIDEOS!!!!
I love your reviews . You looked like you wanted to do a smack down on the director lol
This should be the title for this....Thing (see what I did there)
Craptastic Bore = Crap-Bore-Stic Who else agrees?
Actually the sequel is 2017 but no one asked for the sequel whyyy
iPermanently well after these reviews i wouldn't count on it. but then again, they still might.
iPermanently There were announced sequels to Green Lantern, Eragon, and Batman & Robin at some point too!
thry also had a sequel set for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and look what happened there lol
Bradley Martyn not me that's for sure.
Thomas Baron true, but ASM2 is still a better movie than Fan4stic.
01:01 this is why i love Jon so much.
John, when I watch your videos I stare into your eyes but have to look behind my back just to be sure you're not sneaking behind me.
I have become a fan, love that the reviews don't spoil the movie. We watch you from Puerto Rico. Keep up the good work. 👍🏾
By the way, are you gonna review "The Gift", John?
0:11
Where can I find that scream sound effect? 😂
I was crying laughing this is one of the best reviews iv'e ever seen
The only way to make a good fantastic 4 movie is for a studio to want to make one, not when they need to make one.
1:00 - 1:12 you literally just described Fox.
I'm subbing. FIrst actually entertaining movie reviewer on youtube.
Im still going to buy this movie because of my OCD obsession to buy every superhero movie on bluray lol
Just wanted to say you were a huge inspiration to me starting my own videos...thank you!
The Silver Surfer was cool tho..
I like how every bad movie you see, you refer to it as: ''an abomination against humanity.''
05:06 "... but I sat there, shoving popcorn in my mouth, trying not to fall asleep. And I wasn't IN-SALTED by it."
- John Flickinger, 2015
"Are affected by some shittt" @0:30 thats the laugh of the day yo lol
He's so fucking angry and ripped I thought the veins on his arms were gonna pop out of the screen and fucking choke me!
avery donsilva i love it. finially someone else besides me is insulted and angry by this atrocity.
mate you crack me up when you get all potty mouthed and angry as a bear hahaha
Aww.....Isn't it cute that lil john thinks there will be a good fantastic four movie?
This is my favourite review from John - who else on TH-cam has been this daring with their review of FF?
"Fantastic Four"? More like "Fantastic.. Fox fucked us over Four Times.."
TH-cam recommendation is broken, but Everytime I see the jacked John, I become happy!! Those guns are little bit magical and mystical!
The 1994 movie is better. The character relationships are more believable and Doom looks like Doom.
akba666 even in the 2005 movie
LMAO, this review was hilarious. Good shit John!
Does this guy even breath?!?
I totally agree though, wasted my money on it
Olivier D Oxygen is for the weak...
Man, I swear you always have the best reviews lmao
Am I the only one who thought Doom looked fucking awesome? He looked scary as shit and how he killed people was impactful and almost disturbing. I really liked that part.
Yeah it was awesome because he ripped it from Akira
Joshalots yah id say you are the only one. he looked fucking stupid. and walking down a hallway and people dropping dead doesnt strike me as impactful. he musta been to lazy to lift his hand or something idk maybe too much jerking it thinking of sue while alone in the other dimension he couldnt feel his arm.
Holy shit this has gotta be one of john’s top ten reviews
i downloaded Over the Top just for you man... you're fucking awesome, keep it up.
Ps. i would like to see more of you and Stuckmann, you two have great on camera chemistry together.
John, I need a new Q & A AND a Flick Trip video every day...
Thanks!
John, what was the movie where you realized that your technique was the way it should be?
Holy shit i wish you would do more reviews like this!! This IS gold!!!
I do agree that the bigger version of the Thing from the last Fantastic Four movie was better than the previous Fantastic Four movie, and I did like how they showed the audience that Sue can fly with her amazing cosmic powers.
Lol stumbled on this channel. Dude. Hilarious. Keep up the good work.
4:59 LOOK AT IT.
AAAAH. Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I'm looking. I'm looking.
Great review by the way!
John which one you think is more unwatchable Batman and Robin or Fantastic Four?
According to Fox's Financial statements Fant4stic lost so much money that it even took away from all the money made from X-men: Day of Future Past. Yeah, not only did bomb at the box office, but it killed the money made from another film, killing two movies in it's progress. That it not good.
Officially subscribed. Love the energy and humor
Awesome review and energy put into this video.
that movie not only broke my heart, but my soul. Dr. Doom Looked liked he was the receiving end of the Silver Surfer jizzin in a ridged magnum XL condom topped with glitter.
Ever thought about doing an outtakes video? Your reviews are pretty well edited but everyone could use a good laugh from time to time.
Great video John! Saw you with Chris for the Batman $ Robin review. Just subscribed. Looking forward to more!
hey john wheres the annual summer blu ray collection video???
I friggin laughed my ass off at this review theFLICKpick . Kept replaying and laughing again, and again, and again. Cheers man
Thank you. I love your reviews!
Sheer genius!
Deadly accurate!
Can't wait for your next review!
hey john would you rather wach Batman and robin or fant4stik 2015
Can you do a Hilariocity Review of the Roger Corman FF movie with Stuckmann; especially in the light of this FF movie? Please.
John, I tried parts of your technique for watching a movie to see if I like them before I do it for real. As I was coming home from vacation, at one point, I got a small pack of Sour Patch Kids to see if I like them (also, I AM NOT making this up; they have Sour Patch Kids smoothies now!), and I did, but I think I need to try it a couple more times to get accustomed to the taste. THEN this morning, I just tried your technique when it comes to sodas. Three ice cubes in it, no more, no less. I tried it with root beer, though, because that's my soda of choice (hope you're okay with that). I haven't tried it for real yet, like I said, but I thought of a movie to start it with: a little gem called Equilibrium… With Christian "HOCKEY PAAAAADS!" Bale, and Sean "I Die In Everything" Bean.
man I love this flip pick guy man do more reviews
Entertaining as hell, you are! Felt like u was reaching through screen and saying "look at that shit!" Yes sir!! You're definitely the bad ass! 🙌🏻
The Incredibles is the closest thing we have to a Good Fantastic Four Movie.
Hey man. Love your reviews.. Oh and by the way, NOS, Monster and Jacked 3D, called, they want to sponsor you bro. You need more energy when you do your vids. 😀
Fantastic review! Just subscribed. Even better than Stuckmann's review, and that rocked. I thank you. Hahahahaha
You rock dude! Keep up the great work, and vids!
Dude, did the pre workout not wear off before you made this vid?? Hilariously awesome 👍
Everytime you upload john my day always gets better
Yet another awesome review!
You are my hero.....
Highest Of Fives From Denmark!
John can you do a Foxcatcher review?
I pondered watching this movie, thank God I watched your review first. Thank you, money saved!
The 2005 & 2007 films I thought were awesome. Sure thye coulda been better but I enjoyed them. Loved the chemistry between the F4 members and the light-heartedness of the films. Wish there would have been a third one.
SO I WENT BACK ALL THE WAY BACK TO UR VIDEOS FROM NOVEMBER 19 2010 AND ALL I GOT TO SAY IS OMG HAHAHAHA U HAVE GONE A LONG WAY ME AND MY BROTHER ARE STARTING A MOVIE REVIEW PAGE HERE VERY SOON CUZ U CHRIS AND JEREMY ARE HUGE MOTIVATION
I like you review n those detail you gave. could you give review on "The Raid - Redemption" and "The Raid - Berandal".
@ 5:50 Dude you should definetly play Ben Grimm/The Thing in the next F4 attempt! That catch phrase was spot on man. As for the movie, all i can say is, the dimension traveling could had made for such an interesting plot in future movies, the Thing actually looks cool in this movie, and Dr.Doom looks like silver-metallic crap (literally)
What do you think they need to do storyline wise to make a FANTASTIC movie for the Fantastic 4?
Dude your review is hysterical! In a "good" way! It was like watching a WWE guy giving a flexing review! Btw, I like the inside info. on this awful flick being a "cash grab"....those f*****g studios ARE ripping the viewers off..BIG TIME! Cheers bro!
Your reviews give me life.
Hilarious review like always John!
i honestly really love your reviews, your a very funny and very loving guy and i really enjoy your reviews :)))
6:06 I am gonna have to heavily disagree with u on that. The early 200s films at the very least tried embracing the corniness of the comic. Plus the cast had way more chemistry. Tbh I don’t think they’re even that bad.

Fant4stic is just awful though.
Jesus, John, dem arms! Great job!
Dude I had that thing! I worked at Kbps toys and it was exactly 10 years ago. Can I buy it?? Lol
It is always fun to watch a big orange guy defend a big orange guy.
