don't listen to the critics

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2005)

For the second week in a row, the critics got it wrong. First, they overpraised Steven Spielberg's been there-done that version of War of the Worlds and this week they trash The Fantastic Four. This movie is fun to watch and is far more enduring than Tom Cruise's slow moving flick. It is not as good as the first two Spiderman movies, Superman movies, X-Men movies, or Batman and Batman Begins. The guy who plays Mr. Fantastic comes across as exciting as your high school physics teacher. You know the class you took senior year in high school to impress colleges and put you to sleep every day. The other actors are pretty good such as Julian McMahon, Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis, and the guy who plays the Human Torch. The other problem with the movie is that it takes too much time to get to Doctor Doom trying to conquer the world. Other than that, this movie is fun and I hope see more of The Fantastic Four. 7/10
