"Honest Trailer" For The Original FANTASTIC FOUR Movies, A.K.A. "Craptastic Bore"

"Honest Trailer" For The Original FANTASTIC FOUR Movies, A.K.A. "Craptastic Bore"

The folks over at Screen Junkies have put together another of their hilarious Honest Trailers, this time for Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer to coincide with the release of Josh Trank's upcoming reboot. Needless to say, this one doesn't hold back...

"At a time when comic book movies began to show us how good they could be, two films will remind us how badly they can suck," says the narrator of this Honest Trailer for the critically panned Fantastic Four movies from the 00s. They really were terrible, and while the sequel had some redeeming qualities (Silver Surfer mostly), it still left the franchise on the shelf for eight years. How the reboot will compare to them remains to be seen at this point - reactions on social media from a screening which just wrapped up in France aren't great so far to be honest - but for now, relive the Fantastic Four films which gave us what this video calls a "decent Captain America."

The best thing about both movies was the trailer for the second one, when Johnny Storm is chasing Silver Surfer. That's it. A trailer...
Seriously shit movies

Honestly this movie does sort of fit the MCU.

I liked the cast except for Alba but she made up for it by being gorgeous.

It's a damn shame it wasn't good.

Lol Honest Trailer, always look forward to these. The Fantastic Four have had a though time. As a Fan i feel bad to see this property suffer. Cause the stories are so good in the comics but to find the director or studio to give them justice sometimes is hard to find.

HAHA! That last part about them making Jessica Alba look like a blonde valley girl is the same ish that I was talking about when everyone was saying that Momoa needs to dye his hair blonde. It's the same thing as telling Michael B Jordan that he needs to bleach his skin.

As crappy as these movies were, at least they had a more realistic sense of how serious they serious you should do a FF movie. Granted they did go a bit too far to the comedy side, but still. I'd rather see a light-hearted FF movie than a moody sci-fi movie that tries too hard to be relevant.

@MonsterSquad35, The target audience for the original F4 movies was kids and young teens. From that perspective, they were good, entertaining movies. They weren't meant for the 30 to 40-year-old douchebags that lurk this website.

@chicoloco

and you will just be copying Jay and Silent Bob, which makes you un-original... You go get those marvel craptards, sounds like you hate them so much you used to love them. Did a Marvelite break your heart?

Haha this is spot on.
Jessica Alba's ethnicity never seemed to be a problem back then.... But now it's all crazy because it's a black guy.

People don't remember this a lot but Galactus looks different to the perspective of the individual. I remember seeing a page from FF4 that explained it. He appeared as a storm to some, a God to others, and many many different things to the perspective of the person looking. I honestly don't want to see a giant God with a queer purple and pink helmet.
Give me something new and different.

The Hall of Shame is a joke... Some of the things people get reported for are so stupid, I've seen worse on this site.

It's weird I absolutely loved the movie when I first watched it as a kid.
Maybe the new F4 movie could be awful but I'm glad I've been open minded and giving it a shot, just how I gave this F4 movie a shot.

Tell me grif where did you see the movie?

Jeez people.

It isn't released.

You don't know if it's the next Dark Knight or not!

@chicoloco Are you going to verbally attack, insult and abuse them? Because that wouldn't bode very well with CBM guidelines...
