I'm reading this now, and you posted this on my birthday. :P

Anywho...I watched the movie, twice. And to be honest, the film did not suck ass, it was okay. The opening scene and the part where they got their powers was amazing, it took an approach no comic book ever took when it came to dealing with powers. Everything afterwards (except the final scene where they choose their name) felt like a total waste of time. It started to seem cheesy and rushed, and nothing like what we were promised. That blew a pretty bad wound on my initial view of the film, but the origin scene felt really powerful, and Dr. Doom's costume looked pretty cool, which cleaned up the mess a little.

I ended up giving it a 65%, but then I learned that Doom's backstory was heavily changed, and ended up resembling the Ultimate origin. That is a mistake made in the movies over and over again, by purposefully connecting the two backstories and unintentionally but successfully downgrading his powers at a cellular level. That just infected the wound already made by the climax, so my final rating of F4 2015 ended up becoming 47%. I blame you for that Trank, I blame you...
