Critics Consensus

Dull and downbeat, this Fantastic Four proves a woefully misguided attempt to translate a classic comic series without the humor, joy, or colorful thrills that made it great.

"Fantastic Four" is a profound mess. It's not fun. It's not exciting. It's far from action-packed. And it's most certainly not fantastic.

Flavorwire

A poorly constructed, ineptly executed, flatfooted piece of Branded Product that plays as though it were written by a piece of software fed every superhero movie script to date and instructed to synthesize them.

Chicago Sun-Times

A lightweight and basically unnecessary attempt to once again bring some cinematic life to one of the lesser teams in the Marvel Universe.

Rated: 1.5/4

Trust me when I say this – reading about the movie is a lot more fun than watching it.

Deep Focus Review

All build-up and no pay-off, Fantastic Four attempts to reboot the popular Marvel superhero team with new actors, a fresh young director, and a studio whose rocky track record with Marvel properties doesn't promote confidence.

Rated: 1.5/4

Its talented cast is wasted in a big lead-up to a whole bunch of nothing.

I've only walked out of a cinema mid-movie once. One guess as to the title of that movie... Fantastic Four meanders, confuses, loses track of itself, seems to get depressed a lot... basically it needs help. None arrives. The movie disintegrates into a dodgy uninspired CGI ending. Allegedly. I was outside the theater at the time.

Probably one of, if not, the WORST movie I have ever seen. Definitely the worst super hero movie I've ever had the misfortune of watching. FAR from Fantastic.

I rewatched this with my friend recently so we could make fun of it. And I gotta say… it’s pretty fant-f&$@ing horrible. From the costume design to the writing. This movie was all around bad. It’s so bad that the only thing holding it up IS the fact that it’s so bad. 1/5

Awful! It doesn’t get worse than this Folks. Fantastic Four is completely miscast. Bad tire old plot, terrible writing, bad corny acting, bad direction, poor CGI & Production. How can Disney/Marvel spend that much money & get something so awful?

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
