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

Fantastic four is bad. the movie started off well i truly do feel like they put too much into the background with the characters so much that they made it take 50 mins for a hour and fourth five minute movie after you get to the 50 mins the movie just goes into a drop of entertainment they get powers reed runs away they showed highlights of the other three and then finds reed have him build the machine go fight doom and then the movie is over it was so rushed with another of development this movie could be great

First half was slow but slightly interesting then the second half lost me. Though Miles Teller can play a great Maker in the multiverse saga.
