Watch this if you liked: The 2005 “Fantastic Four” film

The Good, the Bad and the Not that Fantastic Four:

• The film does not deliver quite as well as the 2005 version starring Jessica Alba and Chris Evans which is kind of a shame seeing that it had great potential with a fresh promising cast.

• There's not enough backstory of each character to make them relatable to the viewer and the second half of the film seems a bit rushed when it comes to the plot.

• The chemistry between the cast seems strained as there is a lack interaction or bonding between them as seen in other superhero ensemble films like "X-Men" and "Avengers".

• The strength of the film lies in its stunning visuals and sound effects which salvages it from being forgettable.

Trivia:

• The film director decided to make the Storm family of mixed ethnicities because of the increasing numbers of mixed families in the 21st century.
