Expected so much, received so little!

Rating: 2/10 (25 December 2006)

When I sat down to watch this movie, I was expecting something brilliant. Something that matched the story of Spiderman ( struggling to find a place in the world) or the more relevant issues of X-men (trying to deal with a world that hates you). What I got from Fantastic Four was a boring, tedious, nonsensical film.
This film seems purely to be about Jessica Alba showing cleavage ( but lets face it, what films with her aren't) The actors in this film are hopelessly miscast with the director focusing on beauty rather than acting ability. Julian McMahon is terrible as Doctor Doom, a villain so bad that you want him to die, so it will something to the movie.
The main problem with this film is that the director has far too many issues in one film and does not focus on any one area. i.e The Thing trying to come to terms with his new life. This lasts for 5 minutes and its over The films only saving grace is Chris Evans who is actually fun as Johnny Storm and is cocky enough to add some some charm Overall though this film is a waste of time, don't watch it. Burn it. At the stake.
