Fantastic Four

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.

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.

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

Brian Eggert

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

Doanh T This fantastic four reboot is the worst than fantastic four 2005 and f4 rise of the silver surfer Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Linus C A good interpretation that fell flat due to a lack of chemistry between the characters. Not as bad as many suggest as this is purely an origin film. The end fight sequence was a bit stale but other than that it was solid. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Audience Member This reboot had potential but the execution didn’t pan out. While I enjoyed the back story, I feel like it focused too much on that and not enough on the characters. The action wasn’t that great either. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Audience Member This is not a superhero movie. The characters have no chemistry. They don’t get their powers until halfway through the film. Things happen for no reason. Terrible villain. Just massively missed the mark in so many ways. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Julian S A darker reimagining of the comic series, it may not please die-hard Marvel fans with its unique take, but it’s far from the disaster its reputation suggests. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Austin S I like the visuals and that we saw a bit of Ben's and Reed's past together at the beginning but besides that, it's bad. Just Doom is done very poorly (again) and we barely see the team adapt to their powers or to each other Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
