For what it is, a Marvel Comics movie, I enjoyed it.

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 2007)

As a kid growing up I was a big comic book fan, not that I collected them or anything, but I just enjoyed the fantasy. Superman and Superboy were my favorites.
This installment of "The Fantastic Four" has the usual characters, but as the movie begins we see very strange happenings in far-off worlds, and some of those strange projectiles work their way to Earth. Along with them comes a non-human silver man on a silver surf board who travels in any direction, at any speed, and can shoot very energetic blasts at his target. Soon we find out that he and his board have been sent as a guide for a force which feeds on whole worlds, absorbing their energy to stay alive, leaving only barren, desolate former worlds behind.
It falls to the Fantastic Four to figure out a way to do the seemingly impossible, stop all this or lose the whole Earth to this alien force.
I like all the superheros, but my clear favorites are Jessica Alba as Sue Storm and Michael Chiklis as Ben Grimm, the stone man.
Kerry Washington, looking almost like Alba's long-lost twin, has a role also but I never figured out what it was. But it was good seeing her, she is always good.
Laurence Fishburne was the voice of The Silver Surfer but I did not recognize him, ever after seeing all the Matrix movies several times each.
