Ratings:-1.5/5 Review By:Shalini LangerSite:Indianexpress
In this film, Reed (Teller), Sue (Mara), Johhny (Jordan) and Ben (a very slight Bell who has the misfortune to become The Thing) acquire their superpowers after a long conversation about how the men who actually do the hard work of building spacecraft never get credit that men such as Neil Armstrong walk away with. So they decide that the first people to be teleported in the machine they have built should be them, rather than NASA guys. We know the rest. Except what happens to chewing gum in fourth dimension. The mind boggles.

The action sequences and scientific theories of this film will strike as half-baked and devoid of sense even to a superhero movie novice. The antithesis, Dr Doom played by Toby Kebbell, falls flat despite showing promise early on.Fantastic Four tries really hard to be cool and witty, but the only thing fantastic about it is the way it manages to make superheroes seem unremarkable.

Fantastic Four, despite the dogged efforts of its talented young cast, has nothing. The special effects are at about the level of the early "Harry Potter" movies - lots of glowing green clouds and ice-blue bolts and force fields. The human drama is meager. Once again, the only real pathos belongs to Bell's Ben, who finds himself trapped in a stony new body and weaponized by a ruthless government. Teller stretches, not as an actor but as a digitally enhanced body. Jordan burns in the same way, and Mara disappears. Her character also has the power to make other things vanish. I would say she should have exercised it on this movie, but in a week or two that should take care of itself.
Ratings:1/5 Review By:Mihir FadnavisSite:Mid-day
ultimately there's no fun to be had in 'Fantastic Four', nor is it bad enough to be entertaining or unintentionally hilarious. It's a tedious, laborious watch and a scathing indictment of worst side of superhero filmmaking that has exploding in Hollywood. If anything, the big guys Warner and Marvel can watch this movie and learn what not to do.
