What are the best Fantastic Four movies? It’s a good question because, arguably, there hasn’t been a good one. Until now. Fantastic Four: First Steps proves the old adage true: er, fifth time’s a charm? The first iteration of the iconic superhero team in the MCU, Fantastic Four, may be new for audiences, but the characters created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby have had a notoriously difficult path to the screen.
Starting in 1994 with a Roger Corman version that was never released, two mid-2000s movies, and a 2015 movie that is considered one of the worst superhero movies of all time (though there are things to recommend), it’s been a general rule of thumb that Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben are cursed when it comes to bringing them to the big screen.
