Fantastic Four review - all set up little payoff

A group of scientists gain extraordinary powers after a trip to another dimension.

The comic book movie you probably didn’t ask for is here, with a reboot of the Fantastic Four exactly 10 years after the first version hit cinemas.

Let’s go with the good things first. The cast is excellent. Miles Teller and Michael B Jordan are about to go meteoric and few people play a baddie as well as Toby Kebbell. Another asset is director Josh Trank whose alternative take on powers made Chronicle so intriguing.
