Ben Grimm (Fantastic Four Franchise)
The poor Fantastic Four. Marvel’s First Family have been given a tough time on the big screen, with the first attempt at a franchise being critically panned after two movies and the 2015 reboot canned after one (with many people calling it the worst comic book movie ever).
Ben Grimm hasn’t been a particularly good character in either attempt, but in the first franchise (2005’s Fantastic Four and 2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer), Michael Chiklis’ version was terrible.
What made him particularly terrible was his dialogue. It was corny as hell and here are some of the worst examples of it:
Ben Grimm:Â “Yeah, that’s right, keep runnin’ Boo Boo! Overgrown furball.”
Ben Grimm:Â “Get off me, rubber boy!”
Johnny Storm:Â “Come on, Ben. Smile. They wanna like you, bud. Say hi.”
Ben Grimm:Â “Uh, don’t do drugs!”
