A Big Build-Up For An Anti-Climax

The entire Fantastic Four movie feels like a trailer for a movie that never actually happens – that’s the sad truth of it.
It’s a long, drawn-out bore throughout, in which you find yourself desperately hoping for something to happen – or at least hoping that the ending will make up for the ridiculously long build-up and make the experience worthwhile.
The fact is that you could probably fit the whole film into the first half of a film and make a better second half, which could have resulted in the whole thing being very good.
Instead, the nothingness that is the build-up is capped off with a ridiculously quick finale that is basically over no sooner than it began – it’s an utterly massive anti-climax.
