The first all prologue film.

Rating: 4/10 (8 July 2005)

I get the impression this would have turned out better if they had just skipped the first film and made the sequel first.
In these sorts of films the 'origin' section is a necessary part that can be the best part or as in this one just tedious.
The Fantastic Four it seemed to me was 95% prologue leading to nothing at all.
Over and over I kept thinking. "ah, now the films going to start!" But all that happened was more mediocre dialog from basic cable actors, keeping the pot boiling with a little not very impressive F/X, and even less impressive drama, in a film that I suspect was made by people who were uncomfortable to be making a comic book movie in the first place.
A fantastic four minutes at the end, the rest, in my opinion just dull.
