I liked the helmet horns glowing in the cloud, and I think the shape of the cloud could be done to be terrifying in modern VFX.
I actually really like the concept and even think that those fantastic four movies did a lot right tone-wise, but were too silly for the 00's brooding and sarcastic times. Also the plots were generally to soap-opera, but when they had torch and the thing interact and pull shit on one another it was hillarious. We will never have a better or even as good Thing. Probably the same for Johnny and Reed.
