It's a damn shame that this film has to be about as good as Daredevil (well, slightly better, but that really isn't saying much) partly because of a pretty unimaginative and pedestrian film that doesn't manage to capitalize on the talent they have, and choose instead to dole out the screen time to just about everyone equally.

You probably already know the story - Scientist leads an expedition to study cosmic rays, mishap occurs and transforms them into superheros (with the exception to Victor Von Doom - who isn't a dictator of a small country, but a head of a corporation called Doom Industries). Super powers cause conflict, ass kicking starts, blah blah blah.

The reason to see this is for Chris Evans (who's a lot of fun with this) and Michael Chiklis (from TV's The Shield), as they offer the heart of the film and the most interesting characters. As for Jessica Alba and everyone else, they're pretty boring and the story doesn't really offer a hell of a lot of ideas that haven't been worn down to a nub already. It's a boring film with two good performances and three bad ones.

Re: Fantastic Four

hopefully the next F4 movie will turn out better, kinda slow in the first one, humor in the movie was ok, but man Jessica Alba ,she is hot.

Re: Fantastic Four

No other movie this summer can come close to Batman Begins. I don't really think I want to go see this one. Just wait for the DVD.

Re: Fantastic Four

It wasn't really a bad movie. It just is not along the same lines as other comic book movies like spiderman or batman.

This was just a light-weight summer flick.

I never mind seeing her in movies - she just needs to never open her fucking mouth and say anything. :| She is the female equivalent to Keanu Reeves.

Re: Fantastic Four

i do hear batman begins is good, but i never expect comic books to translate well to film. the active scenes and compressed dialog are so easy to make campy and contrived on screen. the page is better suited, too, for men in tights with skinny legs and huge shoulders.

ms alba, though, definitely film worthy.

much respect to brian singer and the wachowski bros for doing it right...

This film is bad, it's just directed to children. There is no gauge such like in Spiderman or even in Batman Begins. This film is a simple comedy. You just watch this film, and when it's finish you no longer think about it...

Re: Fantastic Four

Saw it....loved it.......can't wait for the sequel.

I think some of you need to get over your ametuer movie critic selves. We are talking about a MOVIE based on a COMIC BOOK...it's not War and Peace people. :roll:

Re: Fantastic Four

The only thing good about this movie was Jessican Alba..

Fantastic 4 is such an awesome comic. I really wish a better movie was made.

Re: Fantastic Four

this movie looked like total shit. the movie should've been set in the 1960s and been directed by Peyton "Down With Love" Reed. I won't even watch this pile on DVD
