Matt Neal Movies Ate My Life Feel sorry for Alex Hyde-White, the big screen's best Reed Richards, stuck in a film with the dubious honour of being so bad it was never released. Rated: 1.5/5 Nov 3, 2021 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof There is no conflict, there is no emotion, not the slightest interest in what happens to the characters. [Full Review in Spanish] Apr 22, 2020 Full Review Zaki Hasan Sequart It's clear that all involved put a lot of heart and effort into everything we see, but it's also clear that heart and effort only get you so far when the purse strings have been pulled tight. Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Leona Laurie Geek Girl Authority By far the best Fantastic Four movie so far. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy For all of its flaws, those forced by its outrageous poverty and those which were simple the result of sloppy B-filmmaking, it's still the best Fantastic Four feature in existence. Rated: 5/10 Jan 2, 2016 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed It's definitely one of my favorite bad films... Nov 24, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

matthias s Despite its notoriety, the 1994 "Fantastic Four" film has some redeeming qualities. I love the comic-accurate suits, and the cast and acting are decent. The story sticks closely to the comics, and it's possibly the best live-action Doctor Doom I've ever seen. The subplot with the Jeweler, however, is a distraction—he's not from the comics, and the focus should have stayed on Doctor Doom. The design of the Thing is impressive, and the effects, while dated, are decent. I went in with low expectations, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. I don’t understand why this wasn't released; it’s a simple origin story with lots of heart and is enjoyable at best. Everything looks dated, but it has a certain charm. Overall, it’s a charming, simple B movie—nothing more, but certainly nothing less. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Speed G You'd have liked to see what this cast could have done with a $150 million budget. This is probably the best FF movie you could make for a mere million. The dialogue's actually really strong, and the performances are mostly very good. Even as it is, it's still better than "Eternals" or "The Marvels". (Hard to believe this came just 8 years prior to the first Tobey McGuire "Spider-Man".) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Jarrod R I just had to find this (somewhere) floating around the zeroes and ones after watching the making of documentary titled "Doomed" on Tubi or one of the other services. It's a mess, of course, but knowing all of the sneaky dealings and rapid production schedule, it all kind of makes sense now. It's fun, campy, and there are quite a few things that really work nicely. I'd say watch the documentary as a companion to this one, if for no other reason to appreciate the pressure the cast and crew was under to put these pieces together. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review ana luisa u Ahora entiendo por qué no ningún lado es horrible los personajes son olvidables los malas actuaciones malas actuaciones es un 3.2 de 10 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review Owen S Great Movie Except Sue and Reed age diffrence Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/02/23 Full Review Bob G While it's hampered by it's visual effects, uneven sound editing, and a script hampered by a limited budget, The Fantastic Four movie was still entertaining. If you grew up watching the Blu-Ray, no matter how bad a film it is, it will always carry a place in your heart. Though far from Marvel's best it's the most authentic Fantastic Four movie we've gotten yet. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
