....There was a lot of other stuff that felt crammed in, slow moving and not really worth the screen time, and because of that, combined with the other problems, I'd have much rather had a movie where they actually spend the first third dealing with Mole Man, showing how the FF4 works as a team, and use their powers, and then moving to Galactus, so the Subterania evac wasn't also completely tacked on. Unfortunately, this movie broke a basic rule of story telling and chose to "tell, not show" much too often, instead of the other way around.
They broke many rules and there were re-shoots/re-edits to fix others we didn't see. I get that creative efforts are inherently risky but when they spend $100's of millions it sure seems the basics ought to be covered well.
Hollywood hasn't just left $billions on the table with these types of moves, they've effectively taken as much or more from theater owners by driving business, especially repeat business, down. The studios deserve the social media grief they've been getting this last half-decade for sure.

Overall the movie was better than anything Marvel has done since Shang-chi.
sigh.... too true.
