10 Comic Book Movies That Got MULTIPLE Characters Wrong
10. Fantastic 4: Rise Of The Silver Surfer
Perhaps no set of comic book characters has suffered quite as much as the Fantastic Four. From the ultra-low budget 1994 movie (made only to retain the rights) to the 2015 Fant-4-stic failure, through four(!) movies no one has yet been able to nail down the characters.
Though each movie has varying degrees of success/failure with the four team members themselves, the villains and side characters have never been done correctly. This was never more apparent than in the 2007 sequel.
In Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer we have our returning heroes: a pre-Captain America Chris Evans as a fun Human Torch, Michael Chiklis doing the only real acting as The Thing, Jessica Alba as unconvincing as ever as Sue Storm, another forgettable turn from Ioan Gruffodd's Mr. Fantastic, and Julian McMahon returns as a terrible version of Dr. Doom. Though in hindsight, he comes off slightly better than Toby Kebbell's crash-test dummy.
The newcomers Silver Surfer and Galactus are handled the worst. The Surfer looks like slightly upgraded T-1000 and somehow comes with less personality. And as hard as it may be to translate the world-eater Galactus as an impossibly huge giant in purple armor, that still leaves no excuse for the way they handled the character and turned him into a cloud, worthy of a Sharknado sequel.
