The Thing actor Michael Chiklis defends "underrated" OG Fantastic Four films despite 28% Rotten Tomatoes score: "There were a lot of people critically who got it wrong"

Sue Storm (Jessica Alba), Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd), Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) and The Thing (Michael Chiklis) in 2005's Fantastic Four.

In the wake of Fantastic Four: First Steps' release, plenty of Marvel fans have reappraised the original Fantastic Four movies from the mid-2000s. One such figure is The Thing himself, Michael Chiklis.

"There were a lot of people, I think, critically who got it wrong," Chiklis told Collider. "They really maligned our films, and they were very underrated considering… they were very loved by the audience. It was one of those cases where critics weren’t great to those films, but the audience was, and that still remains."
