* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Fox's effort to make a gritty and grounded movie out of one of Marvel's silliest science-fantasy titles has already caused flak at the film's expense.



** The fact that no ''X-Men'' crossover is planned (yet). Is it worth complaining that Fox is delaying its own spin on ''Film/TheAvengers''' crossover awesomeness, or is it ensuring that the movie won't simply act as a hasty way to introduce crossover elements to [[Film/IronMan2 the detriment of its quality]]?[[note]]This has been a criticism of pre-''Avengers'' MCU movies, especially ''Film/IronMan2'' due to ExecutiveMeddling, although they have been well-reviewed overall.[[/note]]

Added DiffLines:

* OnlyTheCreatorDoesItRight: Shortly after the movie was announced, fans of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse declared that a ''Fantastic Four'' movie would be better under their hands. This opinion has since grown exponentially after news broke out that the film was going to be a very loose adaptation of the comics.
* TheyJustDidntCare: Though time will tell on whether or not the movie is subject to this, the fact that the actors were not instructed to become familiar with the source material at all is not a good sign about the effort Fox is making to stay true to the characters.

** The recent announcement that the movie will ''not'' be based on the comic books themselves, or any storyline or arc whatsoever (in fact, the actors were told not to even bother to read the comics, that means, not learning about ''the characters they're playing on screen''), which has effectively broke audience's hope for the movie.

Aside from the announcement and evidence within production of the film claiming to be based on Ultimate Fantastic Four and the high unlikely possibility of any professional executive making such a claim, there are no facts or news officially supporting this claim.
