10 Disappointing Films That Deserve A Second Chance

20th Century Fox

Time Out called Fantastic Four a movie of two halves the first likeable and fun, the second tiresome and loud. The first 50 minutes seemed to be director Josh Tranks vision for the film, while the rest was stitched together from existing elements and half-hearted reshoots.

In amongst all the bad wigs and flat drama, there was a good movie struggling to get out, and it looked like a more engaging film than either the 2005 Fantastic Four or its sequel. We never got to see it because Twentieth Century Fox smothered the baby at birth.

If the first half of the release print are anything to go by, it was a movie that took its time building its story and preferred character to elaborate set pieces, leading to a two-hour plus movie that panicked the studio. Or did Fox make the right decision by ordering reshoots? Hopefully, well see Tranks cut so we can decide for ourselves.
