The new movie Fantastic Four: First Steps opens this weekend, and Marvel, as a well as Marvel fans, are holding their breath hoping it will be good. The Fantastic Four comic book characters haven't had a great run at the box office; in fact this is the fourth attempt at making a Fantastic Four movie. The first was back in 1994, when Roger Corman and Bernd Eichinger produced The Fantastic Four, which was never released and indeed was only made so that Eichinger could retain the film rights to the characters. Their budget was only $1 million, but if anyone could squeeze a superhero film out of such a budget, it was Roger Corman. Enjoy the nonsensical plot, lack of action scenes, and cheap production values in this Honest Trailer.
The Fantastic Four of 1994 answers the question "How bad could it be?" and makes all the subsequent Fantastic Four movies look good by comparison. However, if you enjoyed this Honest Trailer, you can watch the full movie at YouTube. And this weekend, look for the four principle actors from the 1994 movie as they appear in cameos in Fantastic Four: First Steps.
