Michael B. Jordan is the only one of the four title characters who didn't stink to high heavens.

I saw the movie one time and never looked back at it. That's telling, as I am more forgiving of these things at times. Not with this one.

I remember, it came out when I worked in the same office as my dad, and obviously (he growing up on comics as a kid/teen) we were both interested in seeing it... The RT was 7% through the weekend and we both figured, "not a good use of time/money". We couldn't believe how universally 'hated' it was. As a Fantastic Four property!

Richie from 'A History Of Violence' says it best.

Looking at his IMDB page (which I had never done before), I'm really surprised that Fox gave him the director's chair for what they hoped would be a franchise starter.  He basically had "Chronicle" under his belt, and that was it.  

this is Fox you're talking about; they gave Simon Kinberg Dark Phoenix and he'd directed nothing other than purportedly cobbling together the second half of Fantastic Four. How'd that turn out?  MCU has had great success with directors who'd done nothing but much smaller movies: Gunn, Coogler, Russo Brothers- this probably mostly comes back to the MCU has Feige and Fox didn't.
