What to Know

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.

Kristy Puchko CBR "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. May 18, 2018 Full Review Jason Bailey 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. May 27, 2016 Full Review Richard Roeper 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 Aug 13, 2015 Full Review John Stark Mac the Movie Guy A remake so radioactive it makes previous iterations look good. It’s amazing anyone wanted to try again after this. A true testament to the likability of the actors involved, because this is a true career killer. Rated: 29/10 Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia Frankly, it's one of the most heavy and boring superhero movies I've ever seen. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/10 Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Trust me when I say this – reading about the movie is a lot more fun than watching it.

Brendan K Overall very disappointing and not a well constructed film. I wasn't really offended by it, moreso just unengaged throughout most of it (the last thing a super hero movie should be is boring!). The pacing is way too slow and by the time the movie sets anything interesting up, it is pretty much over. There is WAY too much exposition. This is definitely the biggest issue with the film. The only action scene is really the final fight, and even that is a letdown. There is a lot of potential here but it fails to make any excitement or splash. The first 45 minutes to an hour presented some interesting ideas but they do not really lead to anything fullfilling. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch this one, but it's not the worst thing I've ever seen. I'm just moreso puzzled by a lot of the direction and choices made. It is truly a bizarre film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/25 Full Review Dave L Really terrible plot, poor acting from all involved. A new low for the MCU! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/25 Full Review Vitor D Um filme péssimo, um filme do Quarteto Fantástico que evita falar o nome do grupo por vergonha de ser um filme de super-herói. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Tynell P. Horrible move, characters were dry & boring…no action , only drama for action based movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Will R I would give it a 4/10, it wasn't even that fantastic. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Guilherme L O FILME E HORRIVEL O FILME FOI UMA BAGUNÇA PERSONAGENS VOZES HORRIVEIS E UM TRAMA E O ROTEIRO FOI MEIO FRACO E REALMENTE O QUARTETO FANTÁSTICO DE 2015 FOI E AINDA VAI TA NA LISTA DE PIORES FILMES QUE O CINEMA JA TEVE Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
