Fantastic Four Reviews
This was a good movie. But not a fantastic movie. (Yes I know this joke is getting old.)
Despite the common hate, it was truly "Fantasic" to watch! I would recommend adding it to your watchlist as it was a good movie to watch while I was sick. It also gives you some insight to the backstory if you plan on watching First Steps.
It’s not fantastic, but it’s not bad either. This is a campy, early-2000s take on Marvel’s first family. The action is solid, the casting works well enough, and most of the effects have aged surprisingly well. However, much of the humor is clearly aimed at pre-teens and tends to fall flat. The film gives a decent amount of time to the team's origin story and their discovery of their powers, but the actual comic book plot boils down to a minor showdown with a lackluster Doctor Doom. Just when it feels like the story is about to dig into something bigger, the movie abruptly wraps up.
Scientist Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) persuades his arrogant former classmate, Victor von Doom (Julian McMahon), to fund his experiments with cosmic energy. On von Doom's space station, the crew -- including astronaut Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis), researcher Sue Storm (Jessica Alba) and pilot Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) -- are exposed to a mysterious cosmic storm that bestows super powers upon them. As they cope with their transformations, von Doom vows his revenge.
Great Casting, that’s about it.
I definitely wouldn't say this is a good movie, but I had so much fun watching it. The cast was great, and there were so many times where this movie made me laugh. Don't watch this movie to take it seriously, watch this movie just to have fun. I definitely recommend it for superhero fans!
Not worth it.. Only if you are so love with Marvel and it's necessarily for you.
I'm actually quite surprised by the bad reviews. This is a great Marvel film and everyone who I hear talking about it loves it. I think it deserves more love to be honest. Also, Chris Evans.... AMAZING
This movie was fantastic
pre-pecs..... its aight
While it has its flaws, I makes up for it with great casting, creative twists and good jokes making the film worthy of a watch
This movie was a homerun.
Its mid, but better than 2015 fr
Fantastic Four can be a fun superhero film for most while the genre was still evolving in the 2000s, however, the film’s tone was not well-suited for its subject matter as it leaned more towards a comedic, generic superhero film rather than the serious tone it needed to capture its space and sci-fi background and the right character development that would’ve properly introduced Marvel’s First Family. Grading: C
Rewatching for the new fantastic 4 movie coming out soon and the hate is forced, has flaws but its a good time and i just love fantastic 4 comics and everything, i thing you have to admit is that the casting is amazing
This movie gets more hate then it deserves. It is very 2000s and doesnt meet todays standards of superhero movies but it is still not bad and in some cases a fun watch.
As a Marvel fan and a huge fan of the Fantastic 4, this movie is so enjoyable. Yeah yeah, the CGI is bad, it deviates from the comics, blah blah, shut your noise hole. It's a great story and setting to put these superheroes in. It doesn't have to be true to the comics. And might I just say, Julian McMahone is the perfect villan actor. His performance as Doctor Doom was increcible and I know you all are afraid to admit that because you all think this movie sucks. I adore this movie and I'll watch it anytime.
I've decided this is the best superhero movie ever made. Chris Evans making out with a girl who is driving a car, while he is also driving a motorcycle? Iconic. One hour and forty-six minutes of Jessica Alba eye candy? Iconic. All of Ben's condescending nicknames for his team members? Iconic. My only real critique is wondering how Fortnite had a better Dr. Doom than a blockbuster Fantastic Four movie.
It is okay. It was entertaining enough. This movies biggest weakness is the Invisible Woman. She has little to no personality in this movie. You know what you learn about the Invisible Woman in this movie? Nothing other than her gender. What do I mean by this? She is heavily sexualized and lacks personality. This is my main takeaway from this movie. If you dislike my review, please note that I am the most critical person I know when it comes to movies. I tend to offend people because of this... Sorry.
Fantastic Four Isn't terrible but has issues mainly the writing of the villain and the visuals looks ehhh some looks good but its dated like ghost rider in 2007 Seeing Chris Evans as human torch is cool even though we all know him as captain America it starts off little slow didn't like the characters at first but started liking them overtime fun watch cant wait for the new one this year 80%
