The Fantastic Four [1994]

This movie was made but never released. In spite of that, it was fully edited albeit of really low video and audio quality. So why does it exist? A movie needed to be made to hold onto the copyright. And I guess this was the start in what appears to be a cursed franchise so no movie about these characters seems to be any good.

From what we could gleam, this was mostly an origin story of the four with two villains: a sewer man who kidnaps a blind artist who eventually falls in love with The Thing and Dr. Doom who has a bone to pick with Mr. Fantastic. Dr. Doom is especially fun with his fixation on caressing people's faces and his flair for the dramatic. Aside from that, the special effects are very special. It was pretty dry for most of the film but the last 10 minutes or so were pretty much non-stop laughter. 

We can't totally recommend it, but it wouldn't necessarily be a waste to watch.
