Blessedly unimportant, Fantastic Four cruises along on modest yet genuine comic-book pleasures.
Michael Chiklis (of the cop show "The Shield") steals the movie as the agonized Thing.

the casting is soo brilliant, great chemisty and jokes and comedic moments when its called for.Chris Evans, Hamish Linklater, Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis embodied their respective roles of their characters it felt like they were ripped right out of the pages from the comics. great dynamic tim story really delivered on this movie. the styory is silly and dumb fun taking u in a journey and along for the ride. this movie is still better then the entirely of mcu with disney marvel force humor that doesn't land and jokes in serious moments that ruined the scenes. the pacing in this movie on why i love this movie so much theirs action, break for character development and bonding with the characters that these amazing actors and actress pull off on screen and then serious moments all wehen its called for. chris evans nails johnny storm perfectly he's so funny and immature but in a good way, they will forever be my definitive f4 . i just find it funny that the mcu trolls that hate on this movie. but hypocritically shill for the decisions disney marvel make. everything this movie has mcu has the difference is this movie executed perfectly and naturally while disney marvel mcu feels forced and unnecessary.

Fails to be anything more than a mild summertime diversion. Based on the Marvel comic book, it's a prototypical air conditioner movie.
Fleetingly enjoyable in very short bursts, this is the most cynically constructed event movie in recent memory, its heart purely in its wallet. A fantastic bore.
A comic-book movie unashamed of its roots, meaning it's unabashed about being silly, overwrought nonsense, which works to its benefit--so much so that you're almost rooting for it by the end.
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.
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.
Good times, FF needed a new look, very reminiscent of the Ultimate FF by Millar. Enjoyed Doom as well. Love the Sci-Fi explorer approach. The new actors on board were great.

It was ok I had more fun than not with this one for sure. Undemanding easy to watch family orientated Superhero movie for sure.

The film does look very good, and the special effects on the whole were well done. The script is a little uneven, but the spirited performances make up for it. Michael Chiklis is very good as Ben, and Julian McMahon is enjoyably camp as Victor Von Doom. Chris Evans is spirited as Johnny Storm, though I wasn't hugely impressed with Ioan Gruffud and Jessica Alba. They just didn't convince and their chemistry at times felt a bit awkward. Also the story is a bit slow and predictable, though at least the characters were likable. Usually when the story fails the characters fail, though I felt there could have been a lot more development. All in all, a flawed but enjoyable film, that is not as bad as people make it out to be. 6/10 Bethany Cox.

I liked FF comics the best when I first start buying Marvel comics. When I watched this film, I was like, is that really Doctor Doom? Oh, my. But this is masterpiece, compared to ssssooommmmeeee film in 2015. I didn't hate it like I hated Justice League, so it's still okay. This is not bad.

This movie really ****. It is very dated and the comedy is totally cheesy and just flat and unfunny. It might be the worst superhero movie I have ever seen.
