Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Fantastic Four
Stephen D. Sullivan · 2005
55/100
👎 Skip It
A competent film tie-in that serves its narrow purpose — giving kids who loved the 2005 movie a way to revisit the story on the page, with a photo insert as a bonus. There is no original storytelling here, the film itself received mixed notices, and the novelization format does not add anything the film did not already provide. Fine if a child loved the movie; nothing to seek out otherwise.
