DARN the critics to HECK! Fantastic Four is big screen fun!!!

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2005)

The newspapers should let real people review movies for them! Most of the professional critics I read were way too snobby about this one. The new Fantastic Four movie is great fun for the whole family. There's something for everybody.
It's FUNNY! The Human Torch and The Thing are a hoot together! Jessica Alba is gorgeous, with or without. I do think Ben's fiancé should have grabbed a flannel robe before she ran into the street, but there I go being a mother hen again. (Don't worry, mommies, all the important parts were covered.)
Our 7-year-old loved the movie so much he asked if we could stay for the next showing, and even though our 3-year-old's eyes did get very big during a couple of the Dr. Doom scenes, she looked at me like I was crazy when I asked her if she wanted to leave the theater.
Director Tim Story, screenwriters Michael France and Mark Frost, and Fantastic Four comic geniuses Stan Lee and Jack Kirby have created a timeless, ageless, and, yes, I'll say it, a FANTASTIC movie! Don't cheat yourself out of seeing this one on a big screen!
