Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

About no movie deserves a true 1 out of 10. If some things are good, it at least deserves a 2. But this, is a masterpiece of my garbage can I burned a billion years ago. Nothing is satisfying. It doesn't deliver an origin story or anything. No action I remembered. Actually, I don't really remember anything from this movie. This was just bland and didn't even have a clean fresh team up. It was so dark and blue, it was like it tried to make the most cliched but unoriginal hackeysack possible. The whole movie was pointless in anything. Most of the time weren't even what you'd want in an action movie. And it's not so bad, it's funny. It wasn't even trying bad. And the villain is another super cliched thing. He was a villain for no reason and just averagely cliched. It's impossible to possibly support this. One of 20 worst movies I've ever seen, possibly 10.

There was nothing Fantastic about this movie, not a second or a scene in which you can say "wow, now that was cool". I understand in the world of superhero movies disbelief is seriously suspended, but to spend over half the movie with the most boring backstory imaginable (not clever, not funny , kid gets slapped around, teacher is an ass, at least have some justice prevails moments). The very second Miles Teller's pathetically weak face appears there is no doubt that the rest of this movie is going to continue to suck cause there is no way that face is going to save it. Oooh, how interesting , looking at books in the library and awards in the hallway. I think the test monkey was more into his role than any of the rest of them, and with the back story given who would care about them anyway? Source material is there for a reason and the wheel need not be reinvented to attract some imaginary movie going genre. Tell a good story with characters people care about, add some humor that isn't stupid or just plain wrong (waterboarding in 4th dimension?) Bad military guys or are those corporate suits we're supposed to not like, who the hell knows or cares. Here kids, just sit up to these chairs and test this high tech equipment, no safety or supervision required....yay, it worked first time, fist bump, uh grab (actually mildly funny moment) Does Sue like Reed now? Who knows, who cares? Oh, and let's not forget to throw in a "it's clobberin' time " just for nostalgia's sake. Time for Fox to get out of the Marvel business and in 10 years or so perhaps revisit this and do it right (like DC and WonderWoman, it can be done with the right script, director and cast)

I wasn't expecting much. In fact, I was looking forward to a terrible movie. As someone who grew up on Mystery Science Theater I was looking forward to a total garbage movie, and boy did this deliver.The first thing that bothered me about this movie was that although it tossed around a lot of science terms thrown around, there wasn't even anything remotely believable about the science. It was like they didn't consult any actual scientists, but just wrote the scenes using a bunch of jargon in an attempt to sound cool.Then there is the choice to make the Fantastic Four high school kids. Who made that decision? There is no reason for them to be 18/19 years old.But the biggest problem is that the movie lacks a plot. It literally does not have a much of a story at all. All that happens is they get their powers, barely anything else. They have a brief clash with Doom, but that's it. There is no build up, there is not tension. This movie is truly terrible.
