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.

A lightweight and basically unnecessary attempt to once again bring some cinematic life to one of the lesser teams in the Marvel Universe. Aug 13, 2015 | Rating: 1.5/4

The latest iteration of "Fantastic Four" is far from what its name suggests. Profoundly uninteresting, it hits all the beats of the standard superhero movie, but provides nothing in the way of imagination or magic. Aug 12, 2015 | Rating: 1.5/4

Laughably cheesy, bordering on Zardoz levels of simplicity. Aug 10, 2015 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

If you would like to admire the awfulness of Fantastic Four without actually having to sit through it--or if you've already seen the movie and are still reeling from the experience--read on. Aug 8, 2015 | Full Review…

It's not wholesale terrible -- just depressingly mediocre, and at a certain point you sort of start wishing it WERE definitively terrible, because that would at least make it more entertaining or give it a certain strange raison d'etre. Aug 7, 2015 | Rating: 1/4

Similar to the upcoming third reboot of the Spiderman franchise, this Fantastic Four reboot feels unnecessary. The story has not changed, nor has the dynamic of the group. Nov 19, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Fantastic Four is a radically different approach to the franchise. While this version of the characters may work out in the future, their establishment is anything but stimulating. Nov 13, 2019 | Rating: 5.7/10 | Full Review…

Fantastic Four won't leave you hungry for sequel; it will leave you desperate to forget what you just watched. Signs of greatness are there, but ultimately, this movie is little more than a mess and a crushing disappointment. Sep 1, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Creaks and groans along for a mercifully short hour and 40 minutes while neglecting the basic fundamentals of storytelling in a surprisingly cavalier way. Jul 5, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…
