Four young outsiders teleport to a dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.
Critics consensus
Dull and downbeat, this Fantastic Four proves a woefully misguided attempt to translate a classic comic series without the humor, joy, or colorful thrills that made it great.
What resonated with audiences
'Fantastic Four' received mixed reviews, highlighting its darker tone, character development, and fresh approach. Performances, especially by Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan, were praised. However, the film faced criticism for its pacing, lack of action, and underdeveloped characters. Dr. Doom's portrayal and CGI effects were contentious. Some felt it missed the Fantastic Four's charm and family dynamic. Despite positive elements, the overall reception was disappointing, marking it as one of the weaker superhero films.
