Dismal acting, especially by Alba who just feels dead wrong for the part. Silly, and nervously humorous but a good summer super hero movie. Not a new hallmark for Marvel though. Just too superficial. The reviewers say it best …

“An overinflated B-movie with no grace, no subtext, no wit, and featuring beefcake/cheesecake actors who look like they’ve been plucked from the soaps.” - Slate

“Compared with the psychological probing and spiritual brooding of “Batman Begins,” Fantastic Four is proudly dumb, loud and inconsequential.” - The New York Times

“Even if you can get past the acting — and in the case of the beautiful, blank Alba, that’s asking a lot — the film just sits there, not exactly torturous, but never very exciting, either.” - Miami Herald

“Frustrating because it doesn’t seem far removed from a wholly enjoyable motion picture, but the tempo’s off, beats are missed, and the production ends up sounding out-of-tune.” - ReelViews
