I think you nailed it, CC.

Four. Sue Storm is not American, she was born in Kosovo, which may explain why she may have been adopted. And why she may have an aversion to the military. She has specialist skills in pattern recognition which see her beat Reed Richards’ brain, tracking him down when she is on the run. Oh and she listens to Portishead. Seriously Fox? Sue isn't even American?

So, is this true too? 5. And That's Why There Are No Girls in Space. It's pretty key to the Fantastic Four's origin that all four of them travel to either space or another dimension, and gain their powers from cosmic rays. Yet in this one, Sue doesn't even get to go. She just somehow gets powers anyway, even though she never touches the neon green lava in the other dimension that seems to be the source of the mutation in everyone else. Now, can we talk about the fact that a high-priority top-secret project is so poorly guarded that the night before NASA are set to become involved, Johnny, Ben, Reed and Victor can just chug some beers, put on spacesuits, and just walk right into the capsule and launch it? I realize that this is somewhat true to their classic origin, but since so much else isn't, why leave that in there? Oh, and when they come back without Victor, whom they presumed to be dead in the Negative Zone (or whatever they never call the other planet), how are they even allowed to stay on the project? In what other job do you get to drive the boss' new vehicle drunk and accidentally kill your coworker without being fired?

WOW! Really fox? 3. Wring My Bell, B. My Jordan As expected, Jamie Bell is nothing like any Ben Grimm I grew up reading, and the fact that his abusive brother says "It's clobberin' time!" while beating him up puts an unnecessarily dark spin on a fun catchphrase.Once he's the Thing, however, he starts trying to do that whispery-raspy thing that Michael Chiklis did so effortlessly in the prior films, and it's passable, if weirdly detached-sounding. Meanwhile, simply by virtue of being able to act laid-back at times, Michael B. Jordan is the only member of the team to resemble a normal human being. Seriously, if it weren't for the scene where he borrows the family car for a race and trashes it, these would be the most humorless, un-fun rebellious teens in the history of fiction.

Aw, man this is funny, seriously this is a must read. 9 Ways Fantastic Four is Just as Bad as (and Sometimes Worse Than) It Looked http://www.toplessrobot.com/2015/08/x_ways_fantastic_four_is_just_as_bad_as_and_someti.php

The RT score is higher than all of the Fox FF films combined. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dragon_ball_z_resurrection_f/

Anyone else looking forward to the Red Letter Media Half in the bag review for this?

Some people are just masochists.

Ouch! Fantastic Four is a synthetic bum-out, an assembly-line product, a movie a group of people made just because they could. "Rene Rodriguez. Miami Herald" BTW it's back to %14 now. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fantastic_four_2015/

http://www.craveonline.com/culture/885613-fantastic-four-review-movie-monster ‘FANTASTIC FOUR’ REVIEW: THIS MOVIE, THIS MONSTER Finally, a superhero movie without action, character development or a plot.

I'm still holding to that. Anyone else want to chime in here?

%15 now. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fantastic_four_2015/

Because true comic book fans like their aliens looking like humans. And wearing fetish clothing. Damn straight!

Aw, Damn. Wait, he's seriously never seen any of the modern superhero movies?

Think about this, if not for the sympathy of one reviewer this would be %0. BTW It's now %17 percent. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fantastic_four_2015/

I didn't know Nick was Robin!?

I saw it for free and wanted my money back That should be turned into a meme.

Only one (I'm assuming) sympathy positive so far. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fantastic_four_2015/

Ouch! Fantastic Four feels like a 100-minute trailer for a movie that never happens. At this point in the ever-expanding cinematic superhero game, it behooves any filmmakers who gets involved to have at least a mildly fresh take on their characters and material, but this third attempt to create a worthy cinematic franchise from the first of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's iconic comic book creations, which can genuinely claim to have launched the Age of Marvel, proves maddeningly lame and unimaginative. Die-hard fans will undoubtedly show up, but box-office results for this Fox release will fall far short of what Marvel achieves with its own in-house productions. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movie/fantastic-four/review/813140

Surely that's wrong?

Reviews are trickling in (what happened to that embargo?) http://comicbook.com/2015/08/04/first-fantastic-four-critic-reviews-released/ The first reviews for Fantastic Four are beginning to show up online, and so far it’s not looking good for Fox’s reboot. Todd McCarthy at The Hollywood Reporter was so unimpressed with the film that he summed it up with a halfhearted pun, saying “More like the Unfantastic Four.” Brian Lowry of Variety says the film simply can’t compete with modern superhero fare, saying, “Fox's attempt to revive an inherited Marvel property feels like an also-ran in the comicbook-adaptation sweepstakes.” The Wrap’s Alonso Duralde believes the film was hamstrung by having to retell the characters’ origin story, saying “With all this tedious Tinkertoy origin-story business out of the way, there could certainly be some entertaining ‘Fantastic Four’ adventures in the future with this ensemble. Whether or not audiences will want to gamble another 100 minutes of their lives on subsequent chapters, however, is another matter entirely.” Emma Dibdin of Digital Spy thinks the dark tone simply didn’t fit the film’s source material, saying, “The biggest mistake here seems to have been trying to marry a dark and realistic tone with the story of four teenagers whose superpowers include transforming into rock, generating force fields and becoming very stretchy. While far from the unmitigated disaster some had predicted, Fantastic Four feels unlikely to kick-start a new franchise, barely sustaining the narrative steam to power itself through its modest 90-minute running time.”

Who else thinks this season has been great so far? Last week's episode was fantastic.

Why didn't Fox do us all a favor and have the release date be tomorrow, why wait till Friday?
