    people give this movie flack but i personally enjoyed it
  • Idc what anybody ever says, The Thing’s practical outfit is so freaking good! It brings a real-ness to the F4 powers! Love it!
  • @moa3645
    "Insulting a vanity fair reporter Into sleeping with him" What a sentence
  • @PVSR
    Absolutely, include the Incredibles in this rewatch. Maybe they won’t pop up in Secret Wars but there are definitely lessons that would apply. Elasitgirl and Violet especially use their powers in ways that are so much more creative than any “real” F4 movie ever has.
  • @kylecarter1599
    The FF weren't NASA astronauts. They were a private group of explorers who defied the government and went into space on their own.
  • @CindyHelms
    I really love how Reed even goes, “Johnny, supernova!” and Johnny goes, “I thought we agreed that was bad?!” while Reed has doomed wrapped up.
  • @YetiVlogs
    The way he pronounced The Commish was hilarious.
  • @MattMaple2
    Me and my friend used to think that this was a bad movie, and then we watched it one night with the "f*ck it" mentality expecting it to be even worse than we remembered. After seeing it again, I honstely have no idea where we got that idea. It's great! Sure, not perfect, but a whole lot better than some MCU movies or X-Men movies. Ioan Gruffud is a great choice for Reed, Michael Chiklis was a good Ben Grimm (he played the tortured husband part really well), Jessica Alba is alright, but Chris Evans is just a joy on screen. His back-and-forth with Gruffud is peak Fantastic Four vibes, and all of them together really felt like a family at the end. This movie's problems were in writing and direction, otherwise it was great.

    27:04 “compare this with pixar’s fantastic four” took me a sec to figure out he said that lol
  • @zacchobanov5827
    I for one agree with you. The Imcredibles should absolutely be apart of the look back rewatch series.
  • @tariobrown9133
    11 yr old me loved this movie I still can remember my dad & sister watching this with me and the sequel ❤❤❤
  • @MrGetWrecked916
    Julian McMahon was actually a great Victor von doom and I wish we could see him come back .
  • @marcusyates3044
    🎶No need to fear, they're here! Just call the Four! Fantastic Four! Don't need no more! That's ungrammatical!🎶
  • One of the superhero movies I know everybody hates, but I actually enjoyed, especially as a child
  • @theflashfan4556
    I don’t know if anyone else thinks about it this way but i think that maybe a big reason behind why Chris Evans was cast as Steve Rogers in Captain America: The First Avengers was due to the fact that Chris had previously worked with Marvel on Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Sliver Surfer
  • @thorinwoods2642
    I’m hoping Johnny and Ben’s relationship is like this in the MCU. That is one of the best parts of the comics.
  • @tyfrier2434
    The Thing and Kerry Washington reinacting Lionel Richtie's Hello video 🤣
