The Villain Was Terrible
Perhaps we should be thankful that the villain in this movie wasn’t the originally conceived version of Doctor Doom – a blogger called Victor Domashev. However, that’s not to say the revised final version was good.
He was terrible. Tobey Kebbell did about as well as could be expected with the material he was given, but this villain absolutely wasn’t Doctor Doom.
You’d think Fox would have learned after the awful Julian McMahon depiction in 2005 and 2007, but no – they still opted to butcher a character who is every bit as popular in Marvel as Joker is in DC.
This Doctor Doom again gained his powers in the same way as the Fantastic Four – albeit in a different way to previous movies – but he didn’t have armour, he didn’t know magic and was instead given weird telepathic powers and control over the elements. Terrible.
