Every Non-MCU Marvel Movie RANKED From Worst To Best

34. Fantastic Four (2015)

What can we say about the reboot of Fantastic Four that hasn't already been said? Lovingly referred to as Fant4stic, this film is notorious for behind-the-scenes drama and on-the-screen travesty.

Although the beginning and end of this film are wholly unimpressive, there is an interesting movie sandwiched somewhere in the middle. The Four's transformation into their super-powered selves contains some pretty visceral scenes of legitimate body horror, a small glimpse at the very different direction director Josh Trank wanted to take the whole film in.

Sadly, any goodwill towards these scenes was ruined by a meddling studio who demanded something dull and derivative.
