MECHANIC: RESURRECTION (Released to Theaters USA 2016)
FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER (Theatrical Release USA 2007)
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer—better than the last film—has actors reprising their roles. The movie is watchable, but not recommendable. The animation of the silver surfer on his surfboard is worth mentioning.

FANTASTIC FOUR (Theatrical Release USA 2005)
Fantastic Four, thin story with no depth to the characters contributes to this movie’s cult classic feel. While some ‘cult’ movies like the 1990s Ninja Turtles movies touch on the fun to watch factor and could be added to the home video library, this movie could not generate those frequencies.

Storyline
Four persons find they develop extraordinary powers and learn how to deal with those powers.

Maybe. The superficial treatment of story, challenges its value as a remake to the 1994 film.
