Perhaps surprisingly, it's no better or worse that the other superhero movies of 2015. Read full review

If Fantastic Four is pleasantly different in its introductory segment, once those super powers kick in, the whole film goes into a more standard gear. Read full review

It’s shockingly humorless and glacially slow for a film featuring a bendy boy genius, an invisible woman, a human torch, and a talking pile of stones. Read full review

There are no people to watch in Fantastic Four, only collections of character traits and attitudes brought fitfully to life by actors who might've mistakenly thought they were hitching a ride on the superhero movie gravy train by signing up for this misfire. Read full review

Fantastic Four is so mediocre that its title seems like a violation of truth in advertising laws. Read full review

It adds more grist for the mill to the notion that studios don't hit the big red "reboot" button in any other state than a panic. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

A lousy script, unfocused direction, incoherent editing, shockingly terrible special effects — and, probably, panicked studio executives — have left its four talented stars muddling through a dull superhero origin story with zero payoff. Read full review

It is a good film, even that after the middle the quality gets down, it doesn't deserve your bad opinions!!! Besides it's better then the two first movies.

The ENDING leaves you wanting more! ‪‎Fantastic Four‬ (2015) is a successful reboot. Let the ‪F42‬ conversation begin! Suggested Ticket Price: $7.50 & Below (Matinee Only). Many nods to Man of Steel! Don't let those paid haters (critics) keep you from watching it at least once on the BIG SCREEN. Lastly, you should already know this but NO Post-Credit Scene. However, the End Credits Song is... NBD! Rewatchability Factor: 8/10 STARS! If you love the Fantasic Four... You'll watch this again and again... and again! Adding it to the ‪Black Friday‬ Blu-ray list. Fingers crossed for ‪F4‬2! China can save this franchise (if domestic Box Office numbers come up short) just like it will save Terminator Genisys in a few weeks. ***Blame any errors on the ZzZzZzZ's***… Expand

It's hard to emphasize just how fast this movie sputters out. I had a good time watching the first hour or so, it was a bit overdone, borrowed a lot from Spiderman, but it way enjoyable.

I had a good time watching the first hour or so, it was a bit overdone, borrowed a lot from Spiderman, but it way enjoyable. Then with half an hour to go it just feels like someone gave them the "wrap it up" signal and the film rapidly melts into a rushed mess. The dialogue loses all its flair, the action feels disjointed, and even the special effects seem to get worse with every passing moment. It really is a bizarre experience.… Expand

Man, what a mess of a movie. The most boring and uneventful comic book movie i have ever seen. It's like they were doing the same thing all movie OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Overall it's just a mess of a movie that takes a **** on the fantastic 4 name, as if the previous 2 movies didn't do that properly.… Expand

Generally I can take a comic-book movie and see some positive light in it, even if it doesn't deliver what it should have. This however, you just can't.

It's a poor movie but I'm more concerned with the Thing's pants. Has anyone managed to find them? Also, where did his penis go? I looking for that too.
