I’m terribly sorry! No, I mean it. I really tried it. I honestly tried. But I couldn’t. I couldn’t watch this trainwreck of a movie from start to finish. I endured about one third of the whole movie and I skipped everything else, especially everything regarding that silly marriage and the “drama” surrounding it. I know that “personal” stuff like marriage or friendship is necessary to flesh out the characters. It also can help to give everything a little bit of drama, as it happened here, or to be more precise, as they tried to create. But there are two problems for me with that stuff in Fantastic Four 2. The first problem is the overall “bleh” feeling I got already after the second minute. Shallow characters remain shallow, no marriage in the world can fix that. The second problem is the shift of focus. It’s not so much about Earth being completely destroyed by Galactus – which is kind of the worst thing that can happen – but an absolutely silly marriage being disrupted. I still wonder why the creators decided to add a marriage of all things and all that star fandom surrounding it. This is supposed to be a geeky action superhero movie about dudes and dudettes in tights. Marriage and other soap opera worthy stuff should be avoided like the plague. Such stuff doesn’t fit. Especially a marriage like that with all this “marriage of the century” crap. This trainwreck proves exactly that point. I also couldn’t stand all of this superstar lifestyle the fantastic four live. Being a superhero is not all funny and glamorous. You know, I couldn’t stand this lifestyle and famous stars crap in the first movie already. I sincerely hoped this would change a little bit in the second movie because it dealt with the destruction of our planet. But nope, the creators again decided to go all soap opera on us. Though I skipped most of this shit I nevertheless started to hope the planet.
