    It's almost a surprise that the sequel is actually better - much better - than the original.

    Bigger, better and more polished than the first, with a quite satisfactory ratio of action set-pieces and a lot of juvenile japery squarely aimed at its PG and fanboy audience.

    A tedious, incoherent bore.

    While the second film in the franchise does improve by leaps and bounds of it's predecessor, this film still fails to reach it's potential due to poor directing, bland acting by half of the cast and an overall dull script. As a longtime fan of the Fantastic Four it pains me to see the potential for good movie disperse as quickly as this film puts you to sleep.… Expand

    "Fantastic Four 2" is extremely terrible. Everything has gotten one step worse, and the more you watch the more paint it will bring you.
