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.

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.

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

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.

Rated: 29/10

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

It is not a Fantastic Four movie. I do not know what it is. Fantastic Four (1994) had only a $1 million budget, and it is still better than this movie by a mile.

Better than past attempts to adapt the F4 to the screen almost by default, but it’s too safe and light on characters or even compelling action to stand out among the MCU’s ever expanding catalogue of content.

I can't count how many things are wrong with this film. Josh Trank blaming the studio for his own mistakes shows how his ego gets in the way of making a decent movie. The cast was misused. Michael B. Jordan could have made a fantastic Human Torch. My only casting issues come from Jamie Bell but I think that has more to do with how the writing portrayed the character. Miles Teller was completely miscast but the rest of the actors could have been phenomenal with the right director and writing. The story was sluggish and the obvious reshoots to try to salvage the movie made for an incohesive movie.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

There were definitely some good moments, and I liked the cast. But the whole film seems so poorly constructed. You get a very long origin story, and then the film is over far too quickly. If you start so slowly, you need to make the film much longer to be able to offer more action and plot. I think this remake is worse than the first Fantastic Four film from the 2000s.
