Jordan.20th Century Fox/Marvel  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Nov 25, 2015 3:53 PM UTC The cultural critics over at [Screen Junkies](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOpcACMWblDls9Z6GERVi1A) are back with another “honest trailer” and this one tackles Fox’s latest reboot of _Fantastic Four_. “In a world full of terrible _Fantastic Four_ movies, get ready…for another terrible _Fantastic Four_ movie,” they captioned the video. The trailer disses the studio’s supposed decision to remake the film solely to hang on to the rights to Marvel’s First Family. “It’s been 10 years since the last good Fantastic Four movie,” the voiceover begins as footage of Pixar’s _The Incredibles_ appears. “Now, Fox must crank out another one or lose the rights to a studio that would do a much better job.” It then wastes no time taking shots at the film’s behind-the-scenes-drama, ridiculous finale and underused young stars — Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Miles Teller and Jamie Bell.
