The Untastic Four or What went wrong with Fant4stic (Part One)

Unless you live under a rock, you know that Fant4stic, the latest attempt for Fox to keep the rights to the Fantastic 4, is a giant bomb.

There's a lot of fairly universal complaints, and a lot of finger pointing in terms of who messed up what. Director Josh Trank is pointing at Fox, with some anonymous inside sources supporting this argument in part. The studio appears to be pointing at Josh Trank, since it's well publicized that they mandated a large amount of reshooting and the involvement of Mathew Vaughn (who made such amazing comic book films as X-Men: First Class, Kick-Ass, and Kingsman).

I think there's enough evidence on the table to lay some blame, and it creates a pretty clear image of why the movie is bad. So, lets get into it.
