"Fantastic Four" 2015 movie is a total disaster compared to recent comic book movies released in the past few years.
The film starring Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell, and Michael B. Jordan in the title role was panned by several review sites for multiple reasons.
Stan Lee, the man behind the creation of famous Marvel characters, has one explanation why "Fantastic Four" 2015 movie reboot did not succeed.
"Well, it was probably because I didn't have a cameo in it, and they didn't discuss the story with me," Lee half-joked during an interview with Larry King on Ora.tv.
He admitted though that he has yet seen the film saying "They didn't disclose the story but I haven't seen it yet, so I really can't comment."
When the interviewer brought up the issue that some people are tired of movies getting rebooted in a short span of time, Stan Lee said "that may be true."

"Fantastic Four" 2015 movie reviews are generally negative. Film review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 9% on the film based on 194 reviews - 177 were negative, 17 were positive.
Rolling Stone gave the film zero out of five stars and called it "worse than worthless."
"It not only scrapes the bottom of the Marvel-movie barrel; it knocks out the floor and sucks audiences into a black hole of soul-crushing, coma-inducing dullness," it wrote.
The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy's "Fantastic Four" 2015 reboot review is also unfavorable and called it a '100-minute trailer' that never happened.
"Fantastic Four feels like a 100-minute trailer for a movie that never happens. At this point in the ever-expanding cinematic superhero game, it behooves any filmmakers who gets involved to have at least a mildly fresh take on their characters and material, but this third attempt to create a worthy cinematic franchise from the first of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's iconic comic book creations, which can genuinely claim to have launched the Age of Marvel, proves maddeningly lame and unimaginative."
