Here’s what reviewers are saying about the Fantastic Four movie.

  • Fantastic Four, despite the dogged efforts of its talented young cast, has nothing.” —  A. O. Scott, The New York Times
  • “Ultimately, Fox’s stab at reviving one of its inherited Marvel properties feels less like a blockbuster for this age of comics-oriented tentpoles than it does another also-ran — not an embarrassment, but an experiment that didn’t gel.” — Brian Lowry, Variety
  • “2015’s Fantastic Four is lifeless.” — Kwame Opam, The Verge
  • “All the pieces were in place for a refreshing entry in the superhero genre, but Fantastic Four completely unravels at the halfway point.” — Ben Kendrick, ScreenRant
  • “A sequel has been announced for June 2017. Do you know what would be really fantastic? Leaving them on the page.” — Henry Barnes, The Guardian
