10 Worst Superhero Movies Of The 2010s

Let’s make one thing perfectly clear: there has never been a good Fantastic Four movie.

The 1994 movie barely counts before it was never officially released, the goofy pair of films released in the 2000s were quickly forgotten (and featured another giant space cloud), and just as Fox realized they were about to lose the Fantastic Four licence back to Marvel, they rushed out a new film to keep hold of these characters they never really cared about and brought about the worst superhero movie since Elektra.

The backlash for the film was immediate when it was announced that Dr. Doom, chief antagonist of the team and ruler of Latvaria, was rebooted into a disgruntled computer programmer called Victor Domashev, who becomes a radioactive crash-test dummy after being exposed to green space goo on an alien planet. The team itself barely use their powers, preferring to spend most of their time sitting in dimly lit rooms talking to government suits, and sometimes even each other!

And when the action does come around it’s either over in an instant or never goes further than “warm-up act”, as in its the sort of fight that should sit in the middle of the film, not as the climax. It’s all so boring and predictable, no-one is likeable, the big bad is made to look like a total chump and is just another failed reboot to which the Human Torch got a much better role in the MCU.

Blame for the film’s failure was placed at the house that built it, with director Josh Trank airing his grievances on Twitter, stating that he had a “fantastic vision for the film” (pun obviously intended) and said studio interference was the reason for the cut we got. Doom actor, Toby Kebbell supported this claim saying Trank’s cut of the film was amazing. Sadly, we’ll never see it and are instead stuck with this, the worst superhero film of the 2010s.
