  As far as super hero flicks go this was good stuff and fun to watch. I was surprised and Jessica Alba won me over for her hot points :)

  Competent entertainment, and a fun feuding dynamic between youngish heroes not quite ready for the limelight, but it's basically just the Marvel Origin Story Template applied once more. Jessica Alba can't act, but Julian McMahon as Dr. Doom is one of the better villain performances in this stable. Meh.

  "Fantastic Four" is the story of 5 people who go to space for an experiment and then come in contact with a gamma ray storm. They then have to learn to deal with the side effects. 4 will be good and form the Fantastic Four, and one will become Dr. Doom. The special effects are a lil cheesy,but it's still very entertaining. Chris Evans(Human Torch), Michael Chiklis(The Thing), and Ioan Grufford(Mr. Fantastic) are all three perfectly cast. However, Jessica Alba(Invisible Woman) and Julian McMahon(Dr. Doom) seem out of place, and probably could have been cast better. Unlike most superhero movies, this is very light and family friendly. It's more of a fun hero movie instead of one that takes itself too serious. Not the best comic book adaptation, but nowhere near the worst. Having followed the characters growing up, I was satisfied and thought it represented them pretty good. Action fans, comic book fans, and movie fans in general should like this roller coaster of a ride movie.

  Much like Green Lantern, The film of the comic book super hero's Fantastic Four is quite simply a ludicrous, heartless and above all obvious attempt to make money off of fans that im sure will be dissapointed by it and the movie going public that enjoyed previous attempts at bringing comic book heroes to the screen. What surpirsed me the most was how heartless they were to the source material tht "inspired" it. Above all it was just boring and absolutely lame.

  A pure 3 stars for action, thin plot, quite weak performances, the wide spread gags are a disappointment.

  One of the worst super-hero movies I've ever seen. Extremely cheesy, super kid friendly, and cringe-inducing dialogue with little to no action to redeem the lacking qualities.

  Not pleased, not even a smidge. Dull acting, poor casting, over-attention to visuals, under-attention to plot. There are many things to do wrong in a comic movie, this film is a walking manifest of them. That much being said, at least they got Thing right. That's it, the only… More
  Not pleased, not even a smidge. Dull acting, poor casting, over-attention to visuals, under-attention to plot. There are many things to do wrong in a comic movie, this film is a walking manifest of them. That much being said, at least they got Thing right. That's it, the only claim to fame for this movie is that their adaptation of Thing was a perfect balance of humor and solemnity. Now back to tearing it apart. Bad dialogue, terrible cinematography, and lacking character development. Over all, this movie is another one to add to my list of all-time worst book/comic adaptations. Well done, my friends, I haven't been this appalled since my friend tossed-up all over my brand new Jimmy Choos.

  This film is barelyyyy getting a 3.5 from me. It's always cool to see a comic book make it to the big screen, but Fantastic Four is a bit too silly for my liking. I believe all of these comic book films should be portrayed with a darker tone, as seen in films like The Dark Knight… More
  This film is barelyyyy getting a 3.5 from me. It's always cool to see a comic book make it to the big screen, but Fantastic Four is a bit too silly for my liking. I believe all of these comic book films should be portrayed with a darker tone, as seen in films like The Dark Knight or X-Men: First Class.

  FF defines the words "generic-family-superhero-film". Everything about it screams average and mundane to a point where you can't help but feel sorry for Marvel's little family of superheroes. Save for Chris Evan's one-liners and gag's there are very few entertaining moments. I suppose the drama between Grimm and Mr.F was unavoidable what with it being a classic in the comics but the resolution and conflict that arises from it is just cheesy and so childish in nature it's like the film was written by a tween. It always feels like Doom needed more presence, a bigger plan and just needed to hit threat levels that actually warrants four super powered beings as well. All in all, disappointing ride.

  The Fantastic Four are silly characters from the start. However, I am still fond of them. Just like a lot of superhero movies from Fox, the trailers were deceiving. I remember my moviegoing crowd at the midnight premiere of "Revenge of the Sith" went wild after the trailer was shown. Two months later, its opening day and we see this film unfold on the screen. We come out of the theater disappointed. The dialogue, effects, and writing are the film's weaknesses. This movie had so much potential. The actors even try to cope with the film's issues. This movie makes me want to watch the low budget 1994 film even more. I saw the trailer for that one and it looked like "The Godfather" to me. Even the villain was wasted! The only good thing about this movie was Jessica Alba and all the girls that share their screen time with Chris Evans. This is a popcorn flick and I have a thing for those types of films. You're gonna hate me but I enjoyed seeing this in the theater on opening day. I remember the audience being dead silent when the "Corpse Bride" trailer came on. A funny little kid behind me said "What was that?" all weirdly when the trailer ended. Ahhhhh. Memories. I hope they reboot the series right!

  Fun and action-packed superhero movie. Liked it.

  I really really like this movie. The Fantastic Four has always been my favorite Marvel comic book, so I like this film more for that reason. With that being said, it's not as good as the Spidermans or X-Men. Brilliant fighting, acting, effects, ect., but some of the acting is questionable and annoying. I love the story and pace of this film though. The story is able to tell itself without focusing too much on action, which I like. Overall, this is another highly entertaining superhero film, and Jessica Albs is hot!

  Its worst and best strength is that it's a very close adaption to the early comic books. It's unbelievably campy and goofy, full of color and special effects. However, it's really a cool story at heart and this showcases a lot of what makes the characters so interesting… More
  Its worst and best strength is that it's a very close adaption to the early comic books. It's unbelievably campy and goofy, full of color and special effects. However, it's really a cool story at heart and this showcases a lot of what makes the characters so interesting and lovable. It's two main attractions are Chris Evans dead on performance as Johnny Storm and the dynamite performance of Julian McMahon. He just completely dominates the movie as the most diabolical and self obsessed Dr. Doom i've ever witnessed. While some of the other characters are translated in a corny way, it's really Dr. Doom that basks in the movie's style.

  The "super power" thingy is getting old.

  It was watchable and enjoyable, but the plot is so cliche!

  Please dont get me wrong, though I m wonderin what these Filmmakers think with those Leather stuff, Heros and Movies.

  Yes, I'm a huge Jessica Alba fan. I know she's not the best actress in the world, but no one can deny that she looks good up on the big screen. However, I have to admit that she wasn't the best choice to play Susan Storm. Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm were well-cast, while… More
  Yes, I'm a huge Jessica Alba fan. I know she's not the best actress in the world, but no one can deny that she looks good up on the big screen. However, I have to admit that she wasn't the best choice to play Susan Storm. Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm were well-cast, while Reed and Susan just didn't work. As for the rest of the movie, it's not as fun as Iron Man, it's not as intense as The Dark Knight, and it's not as eye-catching as the Spider-Man movies. Fantastic 4 doesn't do any one thing particularly well, but it does a lot of things adequately. It's simply an average superhero movie.
