People may have been sceptical about Ant-Man and regarded Terminator Genisys as highly suspect, but no 2015 blockbuster has been under as much scrutiny as Fantastic Four. From alleged on-set complications to reports of extensive last-minutes reshoots, the reboot nobody was quite sure they even wanted was treated like a disaster months before it hit. And a marketing campaign that presented a mish-mash of tones, with trailers seemingly edited to create jokes where there weren't any, only confused things further. As the release approach, everyone was expecting the worst. It would therefore be a delight to say that the movie branded as Fant4stic is a great surprise; a fun-yet-dark treat that finally gets Marvel's first family right. Sadly, that's a whole dimension away from the truth. Josh Trank's film is an utter mess, not only a bad superhero movie, but poorly made on a fundamental filmmaking level. You can check out my full review of the film here, but for a more in-depth look at what exactly makes the film so bad, here are the seven biggest blunders that ruined it. There's a spoiler warning in force from the start (although the film does a good enough job of ruining itself regardless).
