Deconstructing Comics #831: The Fantastic Four On Film — ‘Fantastic Four’ (2005) Pt 2

by Erik Amaya

While the 2005 film Fantastic Four gives us, debatably, a well-cast group of heroes, with plenty of comics-accurate details, the script does no favors to Dr. Doom. What are his goals, other than “taking everything back” from Reed? Why is he a CEO instead of a despot? Who the heck gives a frightening metal mask as a thank-you gift?? This time, Tim, Kumar, and Jordan (in a crossover with the Comic Book Movie Oblivion podcast) conclude their look at this film, and cap it off with a review of its endless development process.
