Despite some very obvious differences to the source material, I had faith that Fantastic Four would still turn out to be pretty good, especially after Josh Trank's work on Chronicle. However, we're yet to see a single review with a verdict of more than 3*, and even those don't paint a pretty picture of how it's turned out! The latest batch are also pretty terrible, and it's going to be very interesting to see if these have an impact on the film's performance at the box office this weekend (plenty of critically panned releases still perform well...just look at Michael Bay's Transformers movies).
Don't go thinking that the rights to the Fantastic Four are now automatically going to return to Marvel Studios either. Fox could still choose to forge ahead with a sequel or may try to salvage the characters by throwing them in with the X-Men! We'll have to wait and see. For now, check out the latest reviews below and be sure to stay tuned to CBM tomorrow for my review of Fantastic Four.

Fantastic Four comes out more removed from the previous pair of adaptations than their detractors could ever have dreamed. The controversial casting yields strong results, particularly in the cases of Michael B Jordan and Toby Kebbell, and it's really nothing like any other screen version of the source material. But on the flip side, it's not a big crowd-pleaser and, in a market where Ant-Man is still playing, fans and casual viewers alike may find themselves disinclined to come back for the next instalment.[2/5]
