Not only one of the worst movies of 2015, it's also one of the most boring and disappointing superhero movies ever made.

Let me preface this to everyone first, I don't consider myself a big superhero-fanatic but I still enjoy many superhero movies we've had for the past years. Most of them are worth- watching but I strictly avoid those that are considered awful and I could agree with most of them who didn't like the bad ones. I have deliberately tried to avoid this movie after hearing so many bad things about it, but I decided to give it a shot anyway and find out if it truly was a bad movie or not.

And after being able to see it, I can honestly tell everyone that this is truly a bad movie and my biggest question is what on Earth happened? The first minutes really got me interested and after 10-15 minutes it rapidly went downhill. It's very hard for me to tell what were the things that made this movie so bad in the first place. But I think I'm going to start by saying that this movie felt like it had absolutely no idea what everything in this movie were going through. The story is uninteresting, the whole teleportation thing became uninterested as well too. The acting was stiff and dull, none of the characters were remotely interesting either without any chemistry at all and had very little development to deliver.

The custom designs were horrible too, they looked pretty simplistic to me and why on earth didn't they even give the Thing any pants? I've seen him wear pants countless times and even a clothe that covered his torso before, but this movie is a slap in the face for presenting him as a nudist and I don't like the idea at all.

But one of the biggest disappointments of the movie would be the main antagonist Dr. Doom. His villainous appearance was way too rushed, it felt like the writers of the movie thought that everyone knows who he is and let's not waste more time explaining what he does. Come on, not everyone in the world knows who he is, if a certain character becomes evil you gotta at least find a new and interesting way presenting him instead of ignoring his appearance. I honestly think that even the Dr. Doom from those two previous Fantastic Four had a much more interesting appearance even though I loathe those movies.

The final battle was incredibly ridiculous and if not laughable. It reminded me of a certain flaw from Man of Steel were one of our heroes seemed to get destroyed once and for all but managed for almost no reason to get out so darn easily and kick the villains butt quickly. It's rather something I would expect from a comical cartoon and not a live-action superhero movie.

I'm very sorry I didn't like it at all, it's no wonder that almost everyone disliked it. Not even Matthew Vaughn who gave us Kick-Ass and X-Men First Class could save this drivel. And if that's not enough to tell how bad it is then I would say this is as bad and on par with Iron Man 3, the two The Amazing Spider-Man movies for some of the most boring and disappointed superhero movies ever made. It literally left me with a bad taste and I'm still dissatisfied with it. If you love superhero movies you won't like this one or if you love action movies then don't waste your time it will only bore you. Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie and watch a good X-Men film or MCU movie instead, even the animated movie Big Hero 6 (which is also a Marvel movie) was a hundred million times better than this.

Well at least it won't exist in the X-Men universe, although I was pretty eager to see an extended universe with both these superheroes meeting each other but after seeing this movie and reading its trivia then I changed my mind and can at least be calm. But hopefully we won't get a sequel, I can already imagine the sequel being bad too.
