Tagline: 4 times the action. 4 times the adventure. 4 times the fantastic.

Plot: When an experimental space voyage goes awry, four people are changed by cosmic rays. Reed Richards, inventor and leader of the group gains the ability to stretch his body, and takes the name, Mr. Fantastic. His girlfriend, Sue Storm, gains the ability to turn invisible and create force fields, becoming the Invisible Girl. Her little brother Johnny Storm gains the ability to control fire, including covering his own body with flame, like a Human Torch. Pilot Ben Grimm is turned into a super-strong rocky Thing. Together, they use their unique powers to explore the strange aspects of the world, and to foil the evil plans by the likes of Doctor Doom, which is who the villain of this film will be. Even as they deal with the various threats that arise to threaten Earth's peace, the Four must also deal with the pressures of fame as the world's most famous superheroes, and the realities of being a super-powered family.

Inventor, astronaut and scientist Dr. Reed Richards’ (Ioan Gruffudd) lifelong dream is close to being realized. He is spearheading a trip to outer space, to the center of a cosmic storm. There he hopes to unlock the secrets of the human genetic codes for the benefit of all humanity.

Extensive government grant cutbacks nearly dashed the visionary’s hopes of the historic

 External Reviews
external linkAnd the really good superhero movies, like "Superman," "SpiderMan 2" and "Batman Begins," leave "Fantastic Four" so far behind that the movie should almost be ashamed to show itself in the same theaters. 1/4


external linkJessica Alba looks fantastic; Michael Chicklis is hugely fantastic. It's none other than The Fantastic Four! 3.5/5
--Steven Chupnick (MovieWeb)

external linkFantastic Four is terribly miscast. It’s poorly written, visually uninteresting, and worst of all, boring. 2/5
--Julian Roman (MovieWeb)

external linkThe four ‘heroes’ spend more time arguing with each other and using their newfound super powers against one another than is really necessary. If it was done to setup the characters and prepare the audience for a sequel, it didn’t work. I don’t want to see another “Fantastic Four” movie. One is more than enough, thank you very much. C
--Rebecca Murray

external linkRemakes that are better than the original film are very rare indeed...This is one of them, although there are extenuating circumstances here. The original in this case was one of the worst movies of all time, a film so atrocious that it was never released. A straight-to-bootleg horror so bad it's legendary. 1/5
--Eric Lurio

external linkWhat a mess "Fantastic Four" is. Everything about it bears the stench of amateurs, from the unspectacular special effects to the sitcom-lame dialogue to the butchered storyline. Hard to believe that in one 15-month period we have endured "The Punisher," "Elektra," "Catwoman" AND "Fantastic Four," the four very worst comic book adaptations, all lined up. We deserve medals, you and I. D+
--Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)

external linkDespite its faults, Fantastic Four is a fun, silly movie. It's nothing you'll want to see multiple times, but the kids will love it. 7/10
--Alex Riviello

external link"Fantastic Four" really only will earn its moniker among faithful fans. 3.5/5
--Jeff Farance

external linkFantastic Four may not be a terrible film, but it certainly was not any good either, in fact, it was simply a bad film. 2/5
--Brian Oliver

external link...Fantastic Four is not a horrible film in any sense. It attempts to capture the spirit of the characters and the books and in that aspect, it mostly succeeds. 3.5/5
--Kushmeer Farakhan

external linkOverall Fantastic Four is one Summer Blockbuster movie you don’t want to miss and it worth every penny of the Admission price don’t miss it check it out today. 5/5
--Paul Perkins

external linkFantastic Four is like a child of a movie, wanting to sit at the adults' table with Spider-Man and Batman Begins, but then told to go the other side of the room and play with its toys -- ironic because it really should be seen as a Marvel Comics granddaddy. Since no one else takes it seriously, it can't take itself seriously either; as such, it's content with being funny and shallow. 4/10
--Jeffrey Chen

external linkThe latest Marvel-superhero-comic-turned-movie, "Fantastic Four" is not a good film, but neither is it one worthy of too much critical enmity. Brainless but not even interesting enough to be bothersome, it falls into that narrow sliver of American commerce: A heavily marketed pop culture product so benign that it's hard to imagine anybody caring about it one way or the other. D
--Kevin Canfield (TheJournalNews)

external linkIf, however, you want to see a pretty cool comic-to-screen adaptation with just enough action, and definitely the most laughs had to be had out of any comic film to date, the Fantastic Fouris the movie to see. It’s an enjoyable pop-corn flick which will be enjoyable to see, but not a necessity to see in the theatres... B
--Rob Alicea (TheCinemaSource)

external linkFantastic Four, like Daredevil, is another Marvel comic book which would have been best left in ink rather than adapted for the big screen. 4/10
