The Fantastic Four Famously unreleased: Roger Corman was hired by 20th Century Fox to make this movie on a minimal budget and timeline to fulfill contractual obligations, Marvel agreed to not enforce the contract if the movie was buried. Luckily, it was leaked. This is a So Bad It's Good movie.

Fantastic Four Fox once again tries to reboot the franchise to fulfill the contract and hold on to the IP. Unlike the 1994 film this had a $120m budget but unlike that film it's not So Bad It's Good. It's just bad.
