What to Know

Critics Consensus

Marred by goofy attempts at wit, subpar acting, and bland storytelling, Fantastic Four is a mediocre attempt to bring Marvel's oldest hero team to the big screen.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Marvel Comics continues to empty out its stable of superheroes with this entertaining tale. Apr 25, 2007 Full Review Mark Salisbury Time Out Fantastic it most certainly ain't. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Keith Phipps AV Club A garish mediocrity. Sep 26, 2005 Full Review Matt Neal Movies Ate My Life Not as bad as you remember, thanks to some spirited performances, strong casting, a couple of cool sequences, and a vibe of campy fun. Rated: 3/5 Nov 3, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Though definitely not one of the best comic book concepts to end up on film, it still has heart and quite a bit of entertainment value. Rated: 7/10 Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Fox was never able to give the Fantastic Four the justice they deserve. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 8, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

In the hands of better writers and director, this could have made a great franchise. Instead, we get an overlong and uninteresting origin story and a doomed Dr, Doom. Meh.
