July 18, 2009Hmmm the story is introduced well and it shows you exactly what happens, its well done but very childish. The whole idea of the Fantastic 4 is babyish really, not as cool as Batman or Blade. The cast are abit D-list and dont really liven things up and as usual there's too much cgi.

January 3, 2009Although both idea and effects were really good in this film, I did feel it lacked a little storyline as a Superhero film, I'm sure this was just to line it up nicely for the sequel/s, but it didn't thrill me as much as expected.

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
It exists largely to entertain and delight, which used to be precisely what summer blockbusters were engineered to do. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
A not-so-bad mindless bit of camp escapism that doesn't try to eclipse its dime-store comic book roots. full review
July 7, 2005
Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com
Potential audiences would be better entertained by reading all the reviews to see how many synonyms can be used for the word "bad." And it would be much cheaper, too. full review

David Edelstein, Slate
An overinflated B-movie with no grace, no subtext, no wit, and featuring beefcake/cheesecake actors who look like they've been plucked from the soaps. full review
July 7, 2005
Claudia Puig, USA Today
There's nothing terribly fantastic about this ho-hum futuristic foray. full review
July 7, 2005
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Compared with the psychological probing and spiritual brooding of Batman Begins, Fantastic Four is proudly dumb, loud and inconsequential. full review
July 7, 2005
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The really good superhero movies, like Superman, SpiderMan 2 and Batman Begins, leave Fantastic Four so far behind that the movie should almost be ashamed to show itself in the same theaters. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
A wasted opportunity to breathe fresh life into the Marvel universe's long-stodgy elder statesmen. full review
