Ah, yes, the characters who spawned the Marvel Universe finally have the movie they deserve.
And, as everyone always wanted, it’s an incredibly bleak and dark Fantastic Four movie. Yup, we sure wanted some needless body horror in this movie. Who didn’t shed a tear when we learned that It’s clobberin’ time was just a thing that Ben Grimm’s abusive brother yelled as he beat him up? I know that when I first heard The Thing yell that phrase, I immediately had to know its origin story. I secretly hoped that it came out of years of familial abuse.
And what a great Doctor Doom. He’s finally comic-book accurate: weirdly glowing and looking like an action figure that God melted in the microwave for a bit.
No longer constraining The Thing by making him wear pants is by far the filmmaker’s best creative decision. I definitely never thought I’d be lucky enough to see a bare-assed Thing onscreen in my lifetime. When it happened, I stood up in the theater and applauded.
