November 17, 2009Yes, I'm a huge Jessica Alba fan. I know she's not the best actress in the world, but no one can deny that she looks good up on the big screen. However, I have to admit that she wasn't the best choice to play Susan Storm. Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm were well-cast, while Reed and ...( read more)

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.

January 1, 2009at times a bit childish in humour or drama but it couldn't be easy to try and make someone stretching seem realistic so it has its pros and its cons. the acting aint great... but some of the action sequences are. i especially enjoyed the scene on the bridge. while it's not one of...( read more)

November 20, 2009CRAPTASTIC FOUR would be more appropriate. Dunderheaded story, dumbarse character motivations and disasterous miscastings all over the shop make what should've been peerless fun a total drag. And that takes some effort. Yet another Marvel film where you find yourself wishing they...( read more)

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

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

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
