Fantastic Four is actually very true to its source material - often literally so - but generally misses the spirit entirely.

It exists largely to entertain and delight, which used to be precisely what summer blockbusters were engineered to do.

Some comics just shouldn't be turned in to movies...

Lee and Kirby built Marvel Comics on the foundation of the FF and it's no stretch to say this franchise could still be going strong a decade later with a better opening act.

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.

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.
