"Prepare for the fantastic"

Rating: 6/10 (12 October 2011)

A group of astronauts gain superpowers after a cosmic radiation exposure and must use them to oppose the plans of their enemy, Doctor Victor Von Doom.
Or should I say prepare for the not-so fantastic. Fantastic 4 is a really good premise from the first point, it combines every kind of thing a superhero movie would need. And the overall plot is pretty cool too. But the result is a terribly cheesy almost stupid outcome. I really did like the buildup and how we will see the team at the end. But seriously, I think everybody shouldn't take this film so seriously. The director was looking for a pure fun popcorn-flick, not Spiderman. Fantastic 4 combines all elements to create a fun film, and it does it in a almost childish way. I suspected somewhat more, but the final product wasn't as bad as everybody has been saying. So the final verdict, Fantastic 4 is purely a fun movie, not going to be amazing, and is almost neared toward the kiddos. But not a problem, it was still an entertaining movie. 6/10.
