Every Non-MCU Marvel Movie RANKED From Worst To Best

23. Fantastic Four (2005)

The best iteration we have of the Fantastic Four on screen, this movie is campy, silly fun for the whole family.

Although it is often dismissed as trite, the film actually has a lot going for it. Michael Chiklis IS the Thing, and while being far from perfect, the practical Thing costume is a lot nicer to watch than a mess of CGI pixels.

Similarly, Ioan Gruffudd and Jessica Alba really work as a couple who clearly love each other, but just can't communicate for their lives. Add Chris Evans' Human Torch into the mix, and you have a fun family dynamic that bolsters a fun family film.
