crappy movie day

deird1Never, EVER thought I'd be able to say "Fantastic Four is, comparatively, a decent movie", but…
I am watching crappy movies, because this is what I do while I'm doing very boring work. Meant to rewatch Fantastic Four (for the first time since its release), but accidentally clicked on Fant4stic. It was 30 minutes before I realised that it wasn't my bad memory, this was actually a different film, because that was the point when Johnny Storm showed up and was a black guy.
30 minutes. Into a 100 minute movie. Is the point when we finally meet our last main character.
For contrast, 20 minutes into Fantastic Four, Johnny Storm now unknowingly has his superpowers, and is about to set fire to a ski slope. We have had more character development, and actual plot. By 30 minutes, they will all know about their powers, and be about to save the day in the bridge disaster.
