A tedious experience.

Rating: 2/10 (24 July 2005)

The very indifferent way The Fantastic Four was put together indicates to me the makers were non-fans with very little interest in the subject. The script is littered with lame jokes which along with the rest of the boring and highly expository dialogue is delivered with very little conviction by the actors. The only participant who shows any interest or enthusiasm is FF creator Stan Lee who as per apparent tradition makes a brief cameo. Despite the fact there are four, not one but four (actually five including the villain), super-power endowed characters there is precious little spectacle. The story seems to go on endlessly from one boring scene to the next until in the last 5 minutes it abruptly changes it's tone from non-stop chitter chatter into the sort of spectacle I had long since grew tired and bored of waiting for. By then I was much too disinterested to care.
