What to Know

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. Go to Full Review
Jason Bailey Flavorwire 05/27/2016
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Trank spends so long aggressively pursuing a Christopher Nolan-esque semi-realist take on the characters that he forgets to spare time for a story. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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

Zane T @ZaneThind 3h While you can appreciate the modern-day setting and the talent casting of Miles Teller, Kate Mara, and Michael B. Jordan, nothing about this film speaks Fantastic Four. The film is slow, and it basically is a science project gone wrong, government-takeover type of movie; that is literally what the narrative is, and for over an hour you see science about a machine being built, with nothing about a Superhero team. Another thing is that they have to wear bodysuits that have to control their powers instead of training and figuring out how to control their powers by themselves in their Fantastic 4 suits. Even Dr. Doom is heavily altered into some stone from the ground, with green in him, making him look more like a guy with kryptonite than anything actually representing Doom. Also, why are his powers different? Nothing about this film is actually Fantastic. See more Robert P @Superbad 3d They replaced a white Johnny Storm with a black guy and I hated this movie with all of my heart, thus the 2 star rating! See more Jack R @jackrxx 5d As a marvel fan. Ik this movie would be mid. Even if only watch this for like 4 mins or more See more Leonan T @RT97086493 6d It's not bad, it's really, really good!!!!!! See more Jemma L @RT84788850 Aug 26 fire the person who made this movie immediately this movie is almost like an AI slop See more Patrick C @RT02152264 Aug 24 One of the worst movies ever made See more Read all reviews
