A movie for kids ...

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 2008)

Unless one is a Fantastic 4 comic book fan, parent with their kid or simply a young kid, it wouldn't be fair to recommend this movie. It's visually colorful, innocent and has good special effects, but that's about it. The dialog, script and humor are a bit brainless - kind of what you might find on a TV show aimed at children.
The movie is basically about an alien entity (a humanoid form on a surfboard) that comes to earth and leaves destruction where ever it goes. The lead scientist of the Fantastic 4 is called in by the government to find the alien ... but soon all 4 are involved in the endeavor.
It's kind of fun to watch the visuals, but there's no way to take the movie seriously. It's really aimed at a child mentality. If you choose to see this, just be prepared be a bit lax on your standards.
