The film suffers from an uninteresting plot, poorly developed characters, and a rushed, anti-climactic final battle.May 09, 2016
As flawed as it was when it was first released in the 2005, the original film still stuck to the tried-and-true formula of quickly getting the origin story out of the way to get to the good stuff: the characters and the action.August 10, 2015
Laughably cheesy, bordering on Zardoz levels of simplicity.April 10, 2016
It's hard to shake the feeling of a better movie being trapped inside a bad movie's body.August 07, 2015
The special effects are cheesy, the acting perfunctory, the plotting pallid.August 12, 2015
The latest iteration of "Fantastic Four" is far from what its name suggests. Profoundly uninteresting, it hits all the beats of the standard superhero movie, but provides nothing in the way of imagination or magic.August 07, 2015
It's not wholesale terrible -- just depressingly mediocre, and at a certain point you sort of start wishing it WERE definitively terrible, because that would at least make it more entertaining or give it a certain strange raison d'etre.August 08, 2015
If you would like to admire the awfulness of Fantastic Four without actually having to sit through it--or if you've already seen the movie and are still reeling from the experience--read on.May 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.April 05, 2016
Throw in some of the worst plotting and pacing to ever taint the silver screen and a strangely gloomy and sombre tone and you have, well, not very much.August 13, 2015
A lightweight and basically unnecessary attempt to once again bring some cinematic life to one of the lesser teams in the Marvel Universe.May 04, 2016
It's a case of good start, flat middle and a curiously bad nothing-at-stake finish.
