Quicktime
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B
"Take the movie on its own lighthearted terms and, chances are, you'll be taken in. "
Austin American-Statesman: 3 of 5 stars
"The only thing it takes seriously is its mission to entertain."
Cox News Service: B
"It has a lot of action. You'll like the heroes. And the electric bad guy is cool."
Dayton Daily News: B
"... funny, without being corny, thanks to some clever lines and snarky banter. It's also visually impressive, with a highly appealing cast."
The Palm Beach Post: C-
"Do not go expecting the thematic subtexts of X-Men. This is just four geeks melting stuff, blowing stuff up, smacking through walls and positioning themselves for a sequel."
The Palm Beach Post "Flick Chick"
"There is some heavy suspension of disbelief here — mostly in accepting that human Barbie doll 24-year-old Jessica Alba is somebody's top scientist, rather than America's Next Top Model. Then again... as much fun as Fantastic Four is, I'm willing to forgive pretty much anything."
