Wow... that movie was... AWFUL.
No heart, no plot, no character development.
Michael B Jordan was a great Johnny and I thought it was good making him and Sue adoptive siblings so that both actors could be used. I also liked Miles Teller as a young Reed.
The guy who played Ben was "meh". He didn't bring anything to the character like Chiklis did.
This review will have spoilers:
I liked the idea of having these characters be young, but they should have had Reed coming right out of one of the many colleges he went to instead of coming out of high school. They did a good job with having Victor work alongside them and view Reed as an intellectual rival, but there was no real development between the characters. Ben isn't annoyed with Johnny's antics. Reed has one scene when he seems to like Sue and that's it.
the first 45 minutes of the 100 minute long movie to develop their powers. It would be another 35 minutes before Victor returns as "Doom". So with 20 minutes left, we now have a villain. It isn't until there's 13 minutes left that Doom threatens the planet and he is stopped within 8 minutes. The final confrontation is a failed attack by each individual and then one unified attack. With the final 5 minutes, they return to Earth and get their headquarters (which isn't the Baxter building).
Now how long until Fox sells this back to Marvel/Disney?
