Flame off, y’all. It’s slobberin’ time. 2015’s Fantastic Four - also somewhat famously billed as Fant4stic - is a rocky worst case scenario of making comic book movies “more grounded.” This flaccid foursome forestalls any enjoyment you might have even as a fly-by-night fan of the First Family of Marvel Comics and stretches even the most flexible suspensions of disbelief. The bar is set unreasonably low for their first foray into the MCU, but I’m still hopeful they’ll burn right past my expectations.
