Good looking villains and even better heroes

Rating: 9/10 (9 August 2005)

Just caught Fan4 on Saturday - very good, it made me want to go and hunt down all the old Marvel comics. Ben Grimm, very well done (the Shield, uh huh, noticed eventually.) Reed a bit of a sap though, just like Sue to have to tell him what he can't see in front of his face! Torch/Johnny, oh yes, very very impressive. I wonder if anyone noticed the slight link to Ghostbusters when Johnny says to Reed "I thought you said Supernova was bad?" I could hear echoes of "You said crossing the streams was bad!" The best bit was at the very start when Reed is making his pitch to Victor, who is sitting in the dark. I didn't realise until the lights went on, it's Cole Turner, the demon!!! I had no idea that the lovely Julian McMahon was the villain of the piece! He is so great as a comic-book villain! Enjoyed all the little Stan Lee in-jokes and modern media references, very good. My only complaint is why didn't they just make the sequel immediately? I can't wait till next year!
