Fantastic Four

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2005)

I was actually surprised by this interpretation of the Fantastic Four. The movie was funny and engaging. I especially liked the interactions between the Human Torch and the Thing. They were hilarious!!
While I considered the casting to be rather crazed and uneven when it was announced I did actually enjoy the performances. The pacing of the film was a bit slow but understandable as it is laying the foundation for this particular interpretation.
Julian McMahon was of course hot as usual and compelling. The tweak on the Dr. Doom angle was a bit unwelcome yet it worked in Julian's capable hands.
I also like the casting of the Alicia Masters character and commend Hollywood for casting people of color in so called "traditional roles". There should have been more of Kerry Washington in the movie! In FF4 2 more Alicia! It's a fun summer movie.
