Fantastic Flop: comparing the Fantastic Four movies

By now most people are aware that new Fantastic Four movie is a critical and financial failure, but is it worse than the 2005 version? People have voiced their displeasure about the story and effects but why does the 2005 version get a pass? This question has been plaguing me for a while so I decided to compare the two Fantastic Four to see which team is truly fantastic based on 3 categories: Characters, story and villain.

Round 1: Best Characters

Both movies focus on the basic team: Mr.Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch and The Thing. Each team interacts well but for me I have to give the point to the new version. The old version of the team was kind of assholes. I feel what these characters are going through. They are young adults who are transformed by a cosmic events and are now being tested on by the government. It's a lot to take in. With the old version, the powers felt like an afterthought.

Round 2: Best Story

This is a tough one but I'm giving it to the old version. It followed the basic three act structure down to a point. The new versions story is all over the map.

Round 3: Best Doom

Doctor Doom, the teams main villain, has been under utilized in all Famtastic Four films. Both have the similarities like having an interest in Sue Storm, being a companion of Reed Richards (Mr. fantastic) and being involved with the project that gave the group their powers. The new film has him as an ex-employee of the Baxter Company turned hacker and is only returning because Sue will be a part of the project. During the experiment Doom is abandoned on a distant planet after Reed failed to save him when the planet the experiment was dealing with, stated erupting. His genetics are changed because of a powerful lava in the planet's core. When he returns he looks to not only kill Reed but everyone else involved with the project, except Sue of course. In the old version Doom is the owner of his own company and is engaged to Sue. He accompanies the group on a space voyage that gives them there powers. Once Sue re connects with Reed, Doom becomes jealous and vows to destroy Reed and his friends. Both have valid hatred for the team but I'm going with the new version because this Doom straight up kills people, showing he truly does not care for humanity after what happened to him. He is someone who I could see being a dictator of a country. The old Doom feels like a comic book villain but he'd doesn't have that hatred of humanity the new Doom has.

Both movies fail to capture the spirit of The Fantastic Four and by all means bad movies. But if I had toto choose I'd go with the new film. But seriously Fox, please give the rights back to Marvel. I would love to see a new MCU built of the team seeing as they are the original team of superheroes Marvel made. If you have a different opinion please comment
