9 Comic Book Movie Reboots That Just Plain Failed

Fantastic Four

We’ve aired our grievances about everything wrong with Josh Trank’s Sucktastic Four on numerous occasions. It’s not just bad – it’s laughably bad. There are genuine moments in the film when you wonder if someone pranked the actors and that footage was used in the final edit by accident.

Alas, it’s also looking like 2015’s Fantastic Four will be the movie that kills Marvel’s First Family once and for all on the big screen. There’s no way that Fox can bounce back from the critical and fan mauling, and think it’s a good idea to make another one of these films – or is there?

Universally hated and often listed in the same bracket as stinkers such as Shaq’s Steel, this reboot couldn’t even breathe an iota of life into the franchise. No, it coughed up a giant ball of phlegm and left us feeling disgusted by what we’d seen.
