Other mistake: If you look closely after the film leaps ahead a year, Reed's file on Ben lists his birthdate as 1986, but the prologue of the film which features Ben and Reed at roughly 10 years old each is set in 2007. The math doesn't add up.

Quite possibly the most pointless movie I've ever seen. Nothing significant happens whatsoever. It takes around an hour for the title characters to gain their powers, after which point the movie completely bypasses any semblance of a second act and rushes through a brief and laughably bad final act. The film was poorly conceived and clearly only made so that Fox wouldn't lose the rights back to Marvel.
This 2015 film about the Fantastic Four came out before the MCU began. Four young people grow up and join forces to fight former their teammate, Dr. Doom, and the strange world that he claimed as his own after an experiment goes awry. Tedious, painful to watch and a bit hard to fully follow, F4 is a massive dud from beginning to end. Miss this.

Sue Storm: Music is just a series of altered patterns. The musician creates the pattern and makes us anticipate a resolution... then holds back. Makes you wait for it. There's patterns in everything and everyone.
Trivia: This reboot was given the green light due to the somewhat disappointing box-office numbers of the previous two "Fantastic Four" films. A reboot was considered "less risky" financially. Sadly and quite ironically, this film earned even less than those two films, bringing in roughly $100 million less worldwide than the prior film and nearly $200 million less than the first.
Chosen answer: No, no one from the film asked him to do a cameo. Stan Lee has said he never requests a cameo and waits to be asked.

I read on IMDb that he declined to make a cameo in this movie.
I've never heard him say he declined the cameo. I think maybe the entry was made from an assumption of what Lee told Larry King. Lee mentioned he wasn't in one of the X-Men films or this film and said sometimes the films are shot too far away and he can't travel half way around the world to be in a cameo. But this film was shot primarily in Louisiana and did have a scene shot in Los Angeles supposedly.
