Begins with the F4 attending the Ted Gilbert Show, which is celebrating the team’s four-year anniversary. There’s a recap of their origin and adventures so far.
Red Ghost (John Malkovich) plants bombs around the city to distract the F4 while he tries to steal their spaceship, the Excelsior. They are able to thwart him and he gets thrown in jail. Reed fights his super-apes on the docking platform for the Excelsior and he throws them all into the river. Once the rest of the F4 rendezvous with Reed at the ship, Sue uses her powers to levitate one of the apes and is like “you threw a monkey into the river?” and Reed says “they’re cosmically-altered baboons, they’ll be fine”, so she throws the ape back into the river.
Sue finds out she’s pregnant, the Silver Surfer arrives to herald Galactus, and the F4 follow her into space. She leads them to Galactus’ ship, where he has just consumed a planet. Galactus offers to space Earth if the F4 give him Reed and Sue’s baby, a mutant with godlike powers Galactus plans to use to revive his dead universe. The F4 refuse and escape with the Silver Surfer in pursuit. Sue goes into labor and Reed delivers Franklin during the chase, while the Johnny and Ben manage to throw the Surfer into a wormhole.
The F4 return to Earth, and the entire world comes together to build a bunch of teleportation devices across the globe that when powered up together will be strong enough to teleport Earth to a place where Galactus can’t find them. Months pass as they build the portals. Right before they activate them, the Surfer emerges from the wormhole (for her it’s only been a couple of minutes) and starts destroying the portal devices. She destroys almost every single one on the planet until the one in NYC is the last one. Right before she is able to destroy it, Johnny broadcasts voice messages of people from her native planet onto the billboards in NYC, and she stops for a moment as Johnny tries to reason with her.
He points out that these voice messages are still being transmitted because Galactus spared her planet, and the only reason he would do that is if she sacrificed herself to him and became his herald. Then we get the flashback scene of her getting abducted from her planet and transforming into the Silver Surfer. No mentions of Norrin Radd. The Surfer feels bad about all other planets that she’s helped feed to Galactus, has a change of heart and dips.
Since the Surfer destroyed all the portal devices but the NYC one, they can’t teleport anymore so they have no choice but to stand their ground and face Galactus. They F4 evacuate all the citizens of NYC to Subterranea where their old enemy Mole Man is in charge. Their plan to beat Galactus is to use the last remaining portal to send him to a faraway place, and in order to get Galactus to step into the portal, they place Franklin in the middle of it and use him as bait. Once Galactus lands in NYC, he scans the city for baby Franklin, and once he spots him, he makes a beeline for him.
While Galactus is marching his way towards the portal, the F4 replace Franklin with a baby carriage, and they send Franklin to the Baxter Building where he is safe with H.E.R.B.I.E. Right when Galactus is about to step into the portal, he realizes Franklin is not there anymore, so he scans the city again and finds out Franklin is in the Baxter Building. Galactus starts making his way there, the F4 try to stop him but they fail and he smashes the building, grabs baby Franklin and starts heading back to his ship. They make a last ditch effort to try and stop him, and that’s when Sue starts using all her energy to push him towards the portal.
Right before Sue sends Galactus through the portal, Reed stretches and is able to grab Franklin from Galactus’ hand and save him. For a second they think they have beat him, but Galactus starts climbing back out the portal. The countdown for the portal to close is about to hit zero, so Johnny’s like “tell Franklin Uncle Johnny loves him” and he starts flying towards Galactus with the intent to sacrifice himself.
Right before he’s able to though, the Surfer swoops in, knocks Johnny out of the way, and sends both herself and Galactus through the portal, ultimately sacrificing herself and saving the day. Sue is dead from using all of her power and Reed tries to revive her but is unsuccessful. He lets baby Franklin touch his mother and suddenly his hands start glowing and Sue comes back to life.
Ben casually says “It’s clobbering time” a couple times near the start of the movie, but the big one is during the final fight with Galactus. Johnny is flying Ben in the air and Johnny is like “say the thing, Ben!” and Ben’s like “no, I don’t want to” and Johnny’s like “come on, just say it” and Ben’s like “fine, IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME” and Johnny launches Ben towards Galactus and Ben punches him in the face.
Ah fuck off, let us be surprised when it comes out.
The age of capeslop has long past.
Post-credits scene
Sue is reading to a slightly aged-up Franklin, who is maybe 4 or 5 at this point (he was a baby the entire movie). He wants to her to read something else so she gets up to find another book. H.E.R.B.I.E. hands her "The Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin as a joke but she goes to pick out a more kid-friendly book. Then when she’s heading back into the living room she realizes something is wrong, so she gears up to attack and when she turns the corner she sees a hooded Doctor Doom holding his mask talking to Franklin (his back is to the camera so we don’t actually see RDJ’s face).
How should they defeat bus size villain?
>>211981557 (OP)don't care, not watching.
>>211981685You're all here...Fantastic...it is time Four your doom!
>>211981923He's better, he's back, you fuckers, he's back, fuckers
This has been leaked like a million times now
The more trailers I see of this movie but more I'm just not interested in it. This is making me want to watch the 2005 Fantastic Four again.
>>211981575She does have black makeup around the eyes. We never got a good look at her face but it was there in the original trailer. It just seems odd to me as a design choice. Only a female could get away with it and Galactus seems lenient in his heralds to allow them to doll themselves up before they announce that planet is his next meal.
>>211981685doom scene sounds like a lazily tacked on reshoot
Entire plot feels generic as hell and ending boring as fuck. I'll watch it in theaters as part of the bargain discount matinee Tuesday if I'm bored and got noting else to do.
>while he tries to steal their spaceship, the Excelsior.
How did Reed Richards get a hold of this?
>Sue dies
Wow!
>And comes back to life immediately.
Oh good. I was worried the movie would have any consequences at all for a second there.
I aint reading all that gay shit do we get Alba in a skin tight blue suit or not?
>>211981557 (OP)Can’t fucking wait, new trailer today restored my hype with the comic accurate Galactus.
Sue dying sounds like it will be the Ash Ketchum dying after fighting Mewtwo in the Pokemon movie for a new generation.
>>211986001You're not even trying, are you?
Sounds kinda bland. Went about as you’d expect. Villains like galactus and silver surfer are extremely lame. This movie’s gonna flop.
>>211981557 (OP)Sounds like a fun escapist superhero romp. Looking forward to it.
>>211981641>Ah fuck off, let us be surprised when it comes out.Then don't read the spoiler you retarded zoomer
>>211986049I don't think watching it will make it any less shit.
>>211986262This. The FF overall are kinda mid desu
>>211981557 (OP)But why is Sue's baby black.
