It exists largely to entertain and delight, which used to be precisely what summer blockbusters were engineered to do.July 12, 2005
Before the inevitable and surprisingly anticlimactic battle with Doom, we are treated to two extreme-sports demonstrations, several training montages, [and] an ill-advised love triangle.April 16, 2009

Fantastic Four is actually very true to its source material - often literally so - but generally misses the spirit entirely.April 26, 2011
Fantastic Four is terribly miscast. It's poorly written, visually uninteresting, and worst of all, boring. The film drags considerably. There are huge gaps without any action and it brings the pacing to an unbearable crawl.June 24, 2006
