When will Disney do the same?

I'd really like to know, in what way is this movie mature? Traditional Reed is the dictionary definition of maturity, but Teller's version behaves like a spoiled adolescent.

Dark gritty color for dramatic effect.
If you want convincing and developing characters, a well written script, good dialogues, an excellent cast, a great musical score and an attitude that rejects the militaristic habitus in general, this one is for you.
This is storytelling without telling too much. We have four troubled kids, but their background is not overdrawn at all. There are just some little hints: the impressive face of Miles Teller and the laconic remark "My parents weren't interested" tell a story that needs no staged melodrama. Likewise the problematic relation between Johnny Storm and his father.
Talking about Johnny Storm: the movie makers made him afro-American and used the character to illustrate the perfidious habit of the US military to enlist young black men with poor social background and dull prospects.

In other words, it was a boring, devoid of color, snoozefest which reminded you of DC's movies.

Stick it up your azz, beep The military has provided countless opportunities and avenues of wealth for black men and women. The liberals and their racist policies have kept the blacks begging at the table for the scraps liberal toss them. The military gives black men a chance to grow as a person, see something other than the thugs in their hometowns, go to school and learn a skill.
No one whines about how the military used to be that avenue for immigrants, and that was before all of the benefits offered to the military.
If more black men and women would join the military our society would be better as a whole. They'd see that there is more than just the thug life and would reject the ganster life. -

It broke ground as being dark and gritty. It re imagined the fantastic four in modern times same way how Disney is re imaging Spider-Man with a black Mary Jane and white female Ancient One.

It broke ground as being dark and gritty.
Batman 1989
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight Rises
Also, "dark and gritty" does not automatically equal "good."
It re imagined the fantastic four in modern times
Which doesn't mean it was good. They became whiny millennials who we couldn't feel anything for since they chose to become weapons.
same way how Disney is re imaging Spider-Man with a black Mary Jane and white female Ancient One.
Neither one of those are important to the main characters. -

I honestly don't know if you believe this drivel, or if you're just trolling. Frankly, I don't know what's worse. But for the record, dark and gritty does not equal quality. Its perfectly suitable for film noir, but for a super hero movie its just lazy and pretentious.
If you want convincing and developing characters,
I would love that. But this movie doesn't have a single convincing or developed character. Unless of course, sullen, arrogant and disloyal is your definition of good characterization.
a well written script, good dialogues,
If only.
an excellent cast,
I've seen worse, I've seen better.
a great musical score
Really? Not to my ear. Perhaps we have different taste in music.
and an attitude that rejects the militaristic habitus in general, this one is for you.
I didn't see any rejection from Johhny or Ben. We are talking about the Fan4stic aren't we?
