After an okay hour or so the movie skids off the road of entertainment, and crashes somewhere in a ghost town called 'Who Cares?' with the most unrealistic plot device ever. Drunken scientists operating complicated machinery? Impossible! I have my own fantastic four of mangled Toyota Corollas and countless DUI offences to prove that it can't be done! Who doubts me?! You, Mr. Light pole, my old nemesis? I shan't be fooled by your gravitational pull ever again, you onelegged, blurry fiend!

So joyless, bland, unengaging and Grimm- I mean, grim. A few body horror moments were interesting and Doom going full-blown Akira was unexpectedly nasty, but it just doesn't mesh with the casting and the superhero mold finale that's forced upon it. So we get another *yawn* origin story drenched in crummy CGI. I recommend Jonathan Hickman's run on the Fantastic Four comic if you want to get an idea of the amazing potential this movie fails to approach or acknowledge.

Sometimes, film studios just don't know when to quit. Why reboot some of the lamest Marvel superheros and recast them as a bunch of kids? Why redo an origin story taking up half the movie and recycle the same villain, only this time, have him played by the most intolerably inept Toby Kebbell? Why? Not called for, not worth it, not good and clearly not appreciated by the masses. Do yourself a favor and turn this movie off before you go sterile from the radiation poisoning.

I’m not sure what more there is to say that hasn’t already been said. Some friends wanted me to see this with them and I don’t think any of us liked it. It’s kind of boring but also had a few moments that were kind of cool? Like the Dr. Doom hallway scene? Pretty forgettable movie all around though. Ugly-looking effects and cinematography, paper-thin characters and acting, and honestly, the directing isn’t good. Take it easy on Mr. Trank though. He’s been through enough.

Yes, Fantastic Four is bad. But I'm not sure it is the worst superhero flick ever made. It appears director Josh Trank & his screenwriters set out to make a sci-fi/horror film in the vein of The Fly or Alien. So I'm unsure as to how the finished product had so many aborted subplots & doesn't include around 15 scenes from the theatrical trailer. The body horror scene is okay, as is the reveal of their (misguided) version of Doom. But that's not enough to make up for this hokey & bland picture.

Sometimes seeing a movie you can just tell that there was some bad juju in the making - like karma on display in real time. This film has a disgusting aura about it, which is quite the achievement given how beloved the source is and how easily it can be adapted with the right attitude. This is like a black hole for joy.

Probably not quite the monstrosity that it's been made out to be. To point out the very few positives; some of the design is quite nice, the cast are good(ish), there's a rather nice exploding head sequence & err... that's about it. The plotting is a disaster, the character relationships non-existent, the editing is a mess & much of the CGI dire. Studio interference seems to rear its head throughout also, stifling any chance Trank had of making this largly unneeded superhero entry any good.

So...Reed, Torch, Thing and Doom decide to get drunk and teleport to another dimension. Yes, this actually happens. I think the hate for this flick is a little much but it's simply not a good movie. This actually could have been really good if it wasn't for the half assed script and some lazy performances. The plot actually manages to shatter the limits of comic book absurdity. I will give props for Doctor Doom because he was actually pretty bad ass. It's the reboot we never asked for. 2 STARS

I'm a huge FF fan. I took my son to see this right before his school year started. We had fun together. We came home and looked through all my old FF comics. It was a great day. BUT.....yeah, the film's a stupendous mess that completely gives up after about an hour and has one of the most low-rent climaxes you'll ever see. It pretty much sucked, I'll admit. Still had a great day, though.

Clearly two movies slapped together in post. Neither of them were any good in the first place, though the one that is horribly generic, stilted and blandly superheroic is much worse than the one that tries new things. (You can guess where I fall on the Trank/Fox debate.) Everyone's miscast, no one can handle the awful script (Miles Teller worst of all), there's no action and when there IS action it's worse than the parts with no action. A debacle that needs several books written on its creation.

Dark and gritty didn't really work. I appreciate the efforts to make it a bit of a sci-fi horror movie at times, but the cheesy dialogue, sub-par visual effects (in comparison to other movies, still not completely terrible as a whole), and the way they punked Doom in about 20 minutes or so... just a bad time. There were a couple scenes like when Doom first awakens, and when the F4 are first dealing with their problems, but it's too little in a movie that overstays its welcome. Slow and boring.

Definitely in the minority here, but this wasn't bad to me. I understand it's flaws, but the cast themselves fit very well, even if the characters were meh at best thanks to the writing. The slow pace, mature, and more scientific take on the superheroes was actually really cool. It was much more convincing than the previous irritation of F4. The affects are quite mediocre, but I got past them because I genuinely think there is a good movie here, especially in their build up.

[Spoiler below] This is a film that's popular to hate on, and after the first 30 minutes I was looking forward to calling people out on it. The long build-up to the point they got their powers was actually pretty promising. But then it became a poorly-written mess. The dialogue was trite and lazy, and Dr. Doom - one of the coolest villains in the Marvel universe - is just ruined, then killed off in a 5-minute battle. Oh, and was Reg 'reverb voice' Cathey speaking through a fan?

Okay, so this might be due to the fact that my only relationship with the Fantastiv Four universe is the horrible movies they put out a decade ago, and that I've just watched Suicide Squad, and thus know what a proper dumpster fire should look like, but... this wasn't terrible at all. The first half works well enoug and even the bland and rushed second half has its moments. Caaamon! Exploding heads! (admittedly the bar is fairly low these days)

I don't think Josh Trank knows how to interact with other humans? There's a very bizarre running motif where Sue Storm is shown to like music, and it kind of tells you everything you need to know about the movie. I think I'm willing to give this movie more credit than it deserves because we live in a post Snyderverse world now.

Boring boring boring boring boring! Dr. Doom looked and Thing looked good, that was about all of the enjoyment this has to offer. Why can't they make a good F4 movie? Even the 1994 TV movie was dreadful, and i have a soft spot for those! Even the Silver Surfer movies were brutal. Every other character has been able to make the leap to the silver screen, but this franchise just fails. Miserably. All points go towards it being better than the rest of its direct ilk.

I thought that this film had a shot. It had a great cast, a talented young director, and a pretty decent writing team. I was wrong. Fantastic Four is just a mess. The writing is atrocious, the acting is wooden, and even the CGI is a wreck. It's also incredibly poorly paced, as the film seems to just want to set up another one instead of focusing on itself at all. I gave this film a shot, and I was rewarded with absolutely nothing. There's nothing redeeming about Fantastic Four at all.

I thought at the very least this couldn't be worse than the shitshow of the previous Fantastic Four attempt. While I wasn't technically wrong, a decade later the franchise is equally as bad for all new reasons. Everything about the teenage team is annoying which could have been avoided by making them even slightly older, and the plot is plagued by missteps. To top off everything, the climax is ridiculous, introducing Doom and then killing him off minutes later. At least the first one was funny.

Fantastic Bore, sums it up. The dull drawn out origin scenes are everything seen before. Everything is lame and implausible even within the realm of comic book science. There's no chemistry between any of the leads. I don't buy that Reed is this super genius just because he talks like Zuckerburg at a Facebook board meeting. The CGI Thing looks even dopier than the styrofoam 2005 version. The sfx is early 2000 cgi at best. Franklin Storm has an enormous and distracting forehead. Just awful.

Choppy 1st act builds up nicely. Ben and Reed's relationship is explored briefly then pretty much abandoned. Dan Castelena chews up his small role throughout the movie. Fast forward to the accident. It has serious shades of Cronenberg's "The Fly" and is the last good part. Acts 2 & 3 are terrible with a completely different feel. Chunks of this movie are missing. And then Doom. WTF! Going around popping people's heads like "Scanners". Overpowered UNTIL the climax battle of course. Just DON'T.

Yet another origin story, this one marked more by heavy studio interference and a disastrously truncated third act than by its style or performances. Surprisingly, it's not without its redeeming qualities; at times, it evokes 50s science fiction in an agreeable manner, and Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell do good work under the circumstances (though Reg Cathey's Dr. Storm is fairly awful). On the whole, though, more a morbid curiosity piece than a viable entertainment.

So I watched this a second time. And it's among the worst things I've seen all year. I'm open to the idea that this MAY be a victim of our extremely-high expectations for comic book movies, but that's not an excuse for the shitty story and the (mostly) awful B-list acting. There is SO much here that could have been done SO much better and given SO much more room to breathe. But mostly, it should have just not been done. Or hey - just give it to Marvel Studios. Best part was Doom wrecking shop.

Fantastic Four is a bad movie, an awful superhero movie, and a terrible way to restart a franchise. If it was supposed to get us interested in the Fantastic Four, it's a failure. But it doesn't want to do that. Fox needed to make a movie to keep the rights to the property; if it also makes some money, that's almost a bonus. It's boring, lazy, uninspired, and one of the least action-packed superhero movies ever.

Retool and reboot of the franchise is not especially *bad*, just a very dull and uninspired film, especially surprising coming as it does in the cycle of "peak" MCU films. Everyone here is going through the motions, missing even the modestly clever repartee from the Gruffold/Chiklis cycle (Bell is a particularly bland incarnation of The Thing). There's something about these GUARDIAN-lite characters which remain engaging, but the shoddy CGI and listless performances make this a bit of a snooze.

Studio execs did their damndest to bury the modern-day mythical horror, which the original director gave them, under a third-act layer of plastic American superhero cheese. The studio execs succeeded. I liked the parts that were Josh Trank's instead of some soulless studio yes-man's.

The first half is quite a decent origin story, not necessarily better than the one in the 2005 film but different enough to be pretty interesting. Unfortunately the transformation of the characters into the FF is glaringly worse in comparison and what follows is a weak second half plagued with redundant scenes and rushed, boring action. The average visuals, mediocre acting, stilted dialogues and absence of real chemistry between the underdeveloped characters mar the overall impression even more.

The first half of this movie is actually decent, shooting for a light take on a sci-fi/horror theme. It's a nice change of pace for a super hero movie. Then it turns into a wretched by the numbers genre movie with a laugh-out-loud final battle on a set that's straight out of an awful 50's sci-fi b-movie. Fox just should have given Trank a budget and final cut. Now the FF movie brand is worth less than dirt. Good job, guys!

One minute it's a sci-fi thriller, then it's a horror film, then it's adventure-y, then it feels like generic by-committee crap. What kills me is that they have such a wealth of stuff to draw from in the source material, and this film ignores basically everything but names and some of the characters' powers. There's just nothing likable about this film, and not much makes sense, and nobody has a character, unless you count "gum-chewing government guy", "dick who catches on fire", etc. F-minus.

One of the cheapest looking big studio movies I've ever seen. Everything about or in this movie is dumb, cheap or just ridiculous.The whole narrative seems to consist of plot fragments without any kind of subtext, emotional core, theme, story or character arcs, tonal consistency or purpose, structure, inner logic, sense, etc. It's more of a weird, cheap looking series of images with recurring faces, bad cgi and Kate Mara hair inconsistency in them.

Although it starts off well and has a sleek visual style, Fantastic Four falls into being a choppy and anticlimactic gritty drama whose second half seems thrown together to finish the film in a measly hour and forty minutes. It's a halfway decent film that has a second half that was poorly written and might have been good if it actually took time for its plot and characters unique personalities.

Extended cut? Second movie without origin? Hope? This movie simply lacks any story besides "get powers, defeat first foe". Given the tragic nature of most origin storys the fun usually starts after the origin ... but there's nothing there. And the tragic part is way too short. Reed struggling with leaving his friends? Not on screen. Ben angry about being turned into a military bully? Gets about 5 seconds of remorseful pose and a single line of dialog. The Storms get nada.

I actually like some of what they try in the first half of the movie: A science-based superhero story. It's when the words "One Year Later" appear on screen that the movie really sinks. Also, this is probably the most INSULAR superhero film yet made, all set in dark rooms and corridors. They never go outside. I miss Spider-Man swinging through New York in the Raimi flicks!

Look, I get how someone can watch & go "that's bad"... what shatters my mind is any of those people turning to Marvel's sterile cookie cutter crap & thinking "SO GOOD." Your good is just bad but even worse. Here enough of Trank's vision shines through to still work, hinting at what could've been. It may not hit the beats people want (or think they do), but the beats it hits flow with a feeling of family & bond more apropos to FF than any past iteration or sterile MCU potential.

Every single Fantastic Four movie has been made by people embarrassed that they're making a Fantastic Four movie, and this one is the worst. It thinks it's clever and deep and emotionally mature and it's wrong. The early parts are cliche high school drama with fake-Whedon dialog, the third act's plot structure melted, and in the middle there's a "super-origin as body horror" part that *could* have been interesting, but has no emotional scaffolding, leaving it feeling like cheap nasty shock. Bad.

Geez, where to begin... The Jessica Alba F4 was a better film by a large, large margin. This stars Michael B. Jordan in a role that he doesn't belong in, Kate Mara in a role she doesn't belong in, and flounders the talent that is Miles Teller to the point that it makes me hate what is essentially a great actor. Beside some glaring issues with the casting, the plot makes no sense, with huge pacing problems and massive narrative leaps. It feels like segments of a longer, yet still shitty, film

An absolute trainwreck. I hated everything about this. Sure the young cast is very talented and likeable, but most are miscast (Jamie Bell as the Thing really?!) and besides besides both those that are and aren't, can't make their horrible written characters work.

A very bad re-launch attempt; I have had enough of these random origin story attempts. They botched every single character honestly and it has nothing going for it storywise or effects-wise either. It is more like Mediocre Four or Fantatistically Uninteresting.

The Fantastic Four is a superhero movie in which you don't get to see the heroes use their powers much (or succeed with them when they do). It is also a film that doesn't bother to establish a villain or have any conflict for most of the movie. This is essentially a grim "recording" of "something" with extremely poor direction and an awful screenplay. I'm not really sure what it was about and neither did the characters in the movie.

You know I don't care what anyone else says I kind of liked it. The characters aren't quite right and it takes awhile to get going but its fun and I liked how dark it was. The biggest failing was the climax, once they go to the other world for the showdown the film completely falls on its face. The epilogue piece was also cringe worthy.

Aside from the sin of OBVIOUS re-shoots. The movie is clearly hacked to shreds from something else. The actors are all boring beyond reason. The comic books lore is treated with such enormous disrespect. If nothing else this movie stands as a testament to Marvel Studios needing their property back.

Trank + Studio, they said U couldn't possibly make this franchise anymore of a screwup than it already was. Wow, did you prove them wrong! ;-) Ok we've had bubblegum FF x 2 & now wannabe Nolan FF - can we now just ditch the FF for good? Or else tell me who & how are ever going to make this damn thing work? Resurrect David Lean & Shakespeare, Brando, Cary Grant, Errol Flynn & I still smell a cine turd. Hope I'm wrong. Fear more chance 4 an Oscar worthy Alpha Flight film at this point!

Not sure why everybody were hating on this. Compared to the last two movies, this is fucking Morgan Freeman doing Shakespeare. Admittedly, the ending is just a superboring boss battle, but up until then, they actually did a decent job of getting me to care about the characters. And it manages to be dark and serious and adult without crashing headfirst into DC territory.

Quite under rated, I think sheep-le start following what others say without actually giving a movie a watch with an open mind. This film is just fine with a fresh story, pretty good effects and good action scenes. The biggest problem is half of the cast are bad choices by the production team. Worth a watch for sure.

The F4 just don't lend themselves to movies, I guess. I often complain about superhero reboots giving too much focus to the origin story, but I appreciate what Josh Trank attempted here, with making he entire movie an origin story and only having one confrontation at the end of the movie and not have the team learn to control their powers or cooperate until they absolutely have to. It's really dark and grim and I see why fans of the comic would loathe it. Still doesn't deserve the hate it gets.

The 2015 reboot of Fantastic Four was presumably supposed to rejuvenate the franchise. It seems instead to have used the 2005 film as the baseline for finding new ways to be bad. While some aspects are certainly better--Miles Teller as Reed Richards the most striking--this new attempt is good where the first film was bad, and bad where the first film was good. It's not a winning approach.

FANTASTIC FOUR feels like it was edited within an inch of its life, which is probably the biggest factor contributing to its major flaws in pacing and clarity. I don't buy the argument against the film's tone--it's on the serious side, but not nearly as gloomy as the naysayers would have everyone believe. But still, it's hard to recommend a film as haphazard and poorly thought-out as this.

With lines like "it's pummeling time" and "his biomechanics are off the charts," you can see where this steaming pile of shit is headed. Sometimes the visuals are nice and the casting seems to have been given some thought, but the plotting is so atrocious it is all unforgivable. Really bad.

Not entirely unforgivable, but still awful. The pacing, mood, tone, and plot are all done terribly in what I assume was going to be a dark yet compelling attempt at the Fantastic 4, but ultimately ended up as one of the most boring, drawn-out, dull movies of the genre. I can't even call the acting fair; they have zero material to work with! The visuals are good, but holy crap Fox really screwed this one up.

W2E0P1S0V1M1A1R0. The reviews weren't wrong. The first hour of exposition felt like any other super hero movie. Maybe a little slower than most, but the same slow build and likable characters. But then it was just a mindless rush to the finish with no clear arc or developed conflict.

There was potential here, but sometimes I just wonder if the Fantastic Four isn't something that lends itself to live action very well. The screenplay being shit didn't help matters, but it was very uneven. Not everything has to be dark (I mean, seriously, they're a team of people called the Fantastic fucking Four)

I thought this movie had a good cast and potential to be a decent movie. The only problem was that they spent about 90 minutes of the movie giving poorly developed background and less than 10 minutes working on a story.

Certainly not a masterpiece. Although the movie doesn't feel slow, there isn't much that is happening in it. Or so it seems. I also feel there is no room for adequate character development, and so you have very little connection to them. That being said it passes time just fine. 46/100.

It's a real shame that the film took such a nosedive near the end just for the sake of an excuse to have them save the world when it never seemed like the film wanted that sort of scope. Also, why would an "anti-government anarchist" want to kill everybody on earth and not just take down the worlds governments? Oh yeah, so we can have the big cgi fight with the fate of the Earth at stake! Big stakes = big excitement apparently.

The build-up is kind of almost decent, and then it goes way downhill from there when they try to cram in a villain and an endfight in pretty much no time at all. There is very little to get me engaged here, and I'm usually all about the superhero movies.
