Another rebooted superhero flick my 20th Century Fox, and re-imagination of Marvel's family of heroes held by director Josh Trank (Chronicle) that portrays a group of young students who developed an inter-dimensional doorway that allows them to travel to an alternate reality. After a freak accident while the group is at the other dimension, the group of youngsters gain superpowers as their physical form was altered in shocking ways. Reed Richards became extra stretchable, his pal Ben Grimm became a huge golem like creature known as the Thing, Johnny Storm turned was into the human torch where the name already tells everything and lastly his sister, Sue Storm became the Invisible Woman giving her the ability to turn invisible ann telepathic skills. All is well except one lad, Victor Von Doom, which lost and trapped in that zone for enarly a year. And if that wasn't bad enough, he gets turned into this freakish being with weird physiques (almost as worst as Ben), likely because of his suit fusing to his body because of the accident, however he does gain some pretty sick moves which made him real deal. The story then continues where a new machine is developed and the team are forced to get involved in the voyage to the other dimension once again. A group of people are sent in to investigate this time and they discovered the poor lad that was stuck there for 12 months. They then proceed to bring him back, typical, trying to do some research on him before him going havoc. In spite of that, this show gets really disappointing as he only appears for about 10 minutes? maximum. Doctor Doom goes around violently killing people, making heads explode and decides to that he wants to go back to his home on the other side. Before anyone thinks that this is might get better, it gets worse. The fantastic four followed Dr Doom back into the other dimension and had a little fight there where Doom himself vouch to destroy planet Earth. the groups gets beaten as usual because Doom is too powerful, later realize they need to work together and finally get to stop him. the whole scene was pretty fast, therefore did not show any connection together as a team despite this show focusing on character building in the first half of the show. The group then ends back up at Earth in front of a huge big crater created by Doom as celebrates their victory. Story wise was an epic disappointment as plot is stale and not unique. There were also not much focus on the characters build-up despite the creators stating that this show will show us more on the background of the superheroes. CGI was also not that impressive but they manage to look decent at least. Overall, this show is poor and should only be watch if you people had too much free time. Highly un-recommended as the first film was actually better than this.
