As promised, and as picked by the public, here is our retro-review of the mostly-unfondly remembered 2005 superhero film,

Fantastic Four

Three years before Robert Downey, Jr., would help revolutionize (some might say create) the modern superhero genre with Iron Man, Ioan Gruffud, Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis, and a then “who-is-that” Chris Evans would star as Marvel Comics’ flagship hero family for 20th Century Fox.

Earning $158M at the box office (on a $100M budget), the film spawned a sequel two years later.

With twelve years and over a dozen Marvel Cinematic Universe films having come and gone (along with a Fant4stic Four reboot), let’s try to step back and take an objective look at the FF and see what went right and what went wrong, and how it might be taking more flak than it needs to.

*Note: I misspeak in here and say Roger Corman’s version of the Fantastic Four was 1993: it was 1994.
