8 Signs Fantastic Four Was Always Guaranteed To Suck

3. Miles Teller Predicts The Future

None of the Fantastic Four cast had seen the movie when it came time to promote it, an unusual occurrence, but one which might make sense given that it would have been tough for them to enthusiastically promote something they knew was terrible. However, if their unenthused performances in the movie's final act - almost all of which is made up of footage from reshoots - didn't make it clear that they must have known it wasn't great, Miles Teller's surprising comments days before Fantastic Four was released certainly did! "This is not a movie we're going to go on Rotten Tomatoes and it's going to be at 80 or 90 per cent," he said. "We did try to do something more than soulless, popcorn action. We tried to make something coming from a more dramatic standpoint so we're hoping that people enjoy it and recognise that we're trying to do something original." There's something ironic that movie, particularly in its final act, is just that: soulless, popcorn action. Teller's comments were quickly circulated and interpreted as him having no faith in the movie being any good. Even if that wasn't what he originally meant, the fact that even one of Fantastic Four's leads weren't sure about it being a critical hit gave fans yet another excuse to not care about the movie. Even the relatively divisive Ant-Man has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 79%, so it's not like plenty of comic book movies don't reach the numbers Teller was talking about being unlikely for Fantastic Four. Of course, no one expected it to go quite so low...
