Miles Teller Isn't Expecting FANTASTIC FOUR To Do Particularly Well On Rotten Tomatoes
The cast of Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot are currently promoting the movie without having even seen it, and Miles Teller (Reed Richards) talks here about why he isn't expecting the divisive release to hit the high numbers on review aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes...
The negative buzz surrounding Fantastic Four is showing no signs of going away, and while the reviews which are expected online tomorrow may help to change that, even the cast are aware of how fans and moviegoers alike currently perceive the movie. When star Miles Teller was asked by BBC Newsbeat if he's ready to prove the critics wrong, he couldn't make any promises in that respect because: "We haven't seen the film either." That's a good way to distance himself from the movie if the reboot - which apparently had as many as 40 pages of reshoots - goes horribly wrong!
"Rarely are films of this size critically well received," he added. "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. 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." Teller makes a good point there, but there are plenty of blockbusters and superhero movies which have been critically acclaimed enough to reach the 80s and 90s on Rotten Tomatoes. The fact that the actor is so sure this one won't doesn't exactly sound like he's that confident in it...
