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.

"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.

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.

1.5/4

A lightweight and basically unnecessary attempt to once again bring some cinematic life to one of the lesser teams in the Marvel Universe.

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.

Frankly, it's one of the most heavy and boring superhero movies I've ever seen. [Full review in Spanish]

Trust me when I say this – reading about the movie is a lot more fun than watching it.

spoilers i guess I mean, what can you even like about this movie? Not one of the characters seem like the characters they're supposed to be. The actors don't have any chemistry together. Dialogue seems bland. CGI is not awful, but uh, yep, nah. Just watch the airplane scene with johnny lol A whole bunch of nothing happens throughout the movie, the villain is introduced and killed in less than 20 minutes, THE FINAL 20 MINUTES. There is no ''action scenes'' beyond the final battle which is just a mid battle, gives you no excitement at all. The whole film has that famous FOX tone that... IS NOT fitting AT ALL for the fantastic four. Like my friend said, ''Eu vi o quarteto, mas cadê o fantástico?'' To be honest, I decided to watch it with really really low expectations. And the movie somehow managed to be worse than my awful expectations. Boring, bland, plot sucks and if you pay close attention doesn't make any sense, yeah... nah.

I don’t think this movie is a five star but I have to counter all the negative reviews. Im actually shocked how low the score is for this. Yeah, it’s not the best depiction of the fantastic four, but it’s still a competently made film with great visuals and performances. I love the darker tone, which makes it unique and sets it apart from the original F4. There could’ve been more action, however, it’s still entertaining and I appreciate the more character-driven story. Ultimately, it’s not the best interpretation of the source material, but it’s not a bad movie either and there’s still lots to enjoy about it.

Fant4stic, one of the worst movies ever made. The CGI and practical effects. Dr. Doom looks horrible. The visuals look like a YouTube video, and the performances are horrible. The end part "Say That Again?" It’s fantastic, sike. This movie is not fantastic. But, overall, I give Fant4stic a 1/10 or 1.2/5 stars.

I dont know why the ratings for this movie are so bad. Watched this after realizing I've never seen it before and pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed it! Give it a shot and ignore the horrible reviews. It was a good watch, i enjoyed seeing the crew younger.

Watched this film for the first time in years since it's release December 30th 2025 to be exact and I am surprised how bad this films score is. Its not as funny as the first two but it was so much more realistic the action was good and had a slightly believable approach to the creation of the fantastic four.
