12 Movies From 2015 That Really Shouldn’t Have Been Boring

11. Fantastic Four

The Promise After two bad attempts at making Marvels first family a viable film franchise, precocious cool director Josh Trank was brought in to give the comic property the grown-up treatment it always deserved. He'd shear off the overly cartoonish elements, bring in some body horror and use his excellent cast of upcoming young talents to give the Fantastic Four some credibility again. The Problem Guess again. Behind the scenes problems made Fantastic Four a half-abortion of a movie, with barely developed ideas, abandoned sequences and an uneven tone that suggested a major identity crisis. It was also painfully low on action sequences and too restrained on the body horror, to the point where it was too dull to even warrant "so bad it's good" status.
