I watched this movie and it was bad. (didn't contribute to the box office though, I paid for MI:5). Thing is, it actually could have been a decent sci-fi movie if they hadn't attached the name fantastic four to it. I'm sorry but the fantastic four are an inherently cheesy brand, you can do dark and gritty with batman but you can't with FF. It just doesn't work.
For all the crap the previous two films got they were at least tonally very close to the comics and those movies nailed the character interactions and family dynamics. The only real problem with those movies was the cheap look/feel and weak plot, but in terms of the tone they were spot on.
This embarrassment could have been avoided if they just called this movie Chronicle 2. That is clearly what Josh Trank really wanted to make.
