Trust me when I say this – reading about the movie is a lot more fun than watching it.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 20, 2022

All build-up and no pay-off, Fantastic Four attempts to reboot the popular Marvel superhero team with new actors, a fresh young director, and a studio whose rocky track record with Marvel properties doesn't promote confidence.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 29, 2022

Its talented cast is wasted in a big lead-up to a whole bunch of nothing.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 29, 2021

A horribly botched reboot that squanders a talented young cast.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 8, 2021

You've got to hand it to Josh Trank for making a movie that fails in almost every way. Fantastic Four is just frustrating because you can see hints of something interesting, but without the knowledge to build upon those ideas.

What starts as a prime example of how not to construct an origins feature quickly turns into the perfect formula to avoid when making motion pictures in general.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Dec 4, 2020

The film is such an obvious set up for more that it watches like they forgot to write anything but the beginning.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 4, 2020

The worst thing of all is the bad taste in the mouth that stays because the movie is nothing more than a mess introduced to desperation to try to give the public what a superhero movie is supposed to give you. [Full Review in Spanish]

It's here that the movie hits its stride, and although it takes a dark turn, it's fun in precisely the way the movies it's aping classically are.

There is nothing fantastic about Fantastic Four.

| Dec 8, 2019

Similar to the upcoming third reboot of the Spiderman franchise, this Fantastic Four reboot feels unnecessary. The story has not changed, nor has the dynamic of the group.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 19, 2019

Fantastic Four is a radically different approach to the franchise. While this version of the characters may work out in the future, their establishment is anything but stimulating.

| Original Score: 5.7/10 | Nov 13, 2019

Fantastic Four won't leave you hungry for sequel; it will leave you desperate to forget what you just watched. Signs of greatness are there, but ultimately, this movie is little more than a mess and a crushing disappointment.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 1, 2019

Fantastic in name alone, this film is far from it.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 30, 2019

Creaks and groans along for a mercifully short hour and 40 minutes while neglecting the basic fundamentals of storytelling in a surprisingly cavalier way.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 5, 2019

Fantastic Four sets itself well for a sequel if turned off well before the final act.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 4, 2019

It's an extremely rough film where there are a lot of edges that needed to be smoothed over.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 2, 2019

The story from start to finish was cliched and silly.

| Original Score: D | Apr 18, 2019

It takes itself too seriously, it's colorless visually and emotionally, and it dupes us by promising something "Fantastic" and instead delivering a lifeless black hole of an experience that'll ruin your day. There's no fun to be had here.

| Original Score: 2.5/10 | Mar 7, 2019

It never reaches the glorious heights we have come to anticipate from Marvel's diverse universes.
