Fantastic Four Reviews |
If, 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... [read review] B
--Rob Alicea (TheCinemaSource)
The 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.

--Kevin Canfield (TheJournalNews)
The 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.

Remakes 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. [read review] 
What 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. [read review] D+
--Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)
Fantastic 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. [read review] 4/10
And 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. [read review] 
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
...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. [read review] 
Overall 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. [read review] 
Fantastic Four, like Daredevil, is another Marvel comic book which would have been best left in ink rather than adapted for the big screen. [read review] 4/10
--Albert Koleba (thefilmasylum.com)
Despite 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. [read review] 7/10
Fantastic Four may not be a terrible film, but it certainly was not any good either, in fact, it was simply a bad film. [read review] 
Jessica Alba looks fantastic; Michael Chicklis is hugely fantastic. It's none other than The Fantastic Four! [read review]
--Steven Chupnick (MovieWeb)
Fantastic Four is terribly miscast. It’s poorly written, visually uninteresting, and worst of all, boring. [read review]
--Julian Roman (MovieWeb)
"Fantastic Four" really only will earn its moniker among faithful fans. [read review]
