I was not disappointed, may be because I hadn't any particular expectation

Many people, or let's say the haters complain that Fantastic Four was too non serious, it was not dark at all and it was not entertaining, probably because of that. I can throw out that the second part is not true and also the first part is not a flaw. Why? Because Fantastic Four is not a dark comic book anyway like Batman for example and it is not too non serious (so unbearable) as they say. Yes, there are a lot of humor, funny scenes, funny dialogs, but firstly it is balanced (believe me, it is much more balanced than Peter Parker's dance in Spider Man 3!) Secondly it is fun and thirdly there are enough, satisfactory action that answers the humor. Fantastic Four is better than, even much better than some other super hero movies such as Superman Returns, Daredevil, Iron Man 2 or The Incredible Hulk. I will tell you something weird. For example, Iron Man 2 was very disappointing to me, because there was much humor, but less action, I got bored at times. As for Fantastic Four, it is director is a comedy-origin director, Tim Story you know and yes Fantastic Four includes lots of humor, lots of funny stuff as I said, but somehow it makes you satisfied on action, excitement and entertainment. May be the best side of the movie was that the director focuses on the changes of the four very much, the process that they explore their power, the use of these powers, at times, especially Johnny uses his powers just for fun. I so enjoyed these parts, because simply it was entertaining that to watch those ordinary people while they use their special abilities after gaining and of course this is the good side of it, their abilities make their life easier. The characters were likable, I liked especially Redd and Johnny. And these four people has four different personalities. Reed is a well behaved, polite guy, Johnny (in fact the deepest character in the movie) is womanizer, show-off, narcissist, fame hungry, a teaser etc. Ben Grimm is a helpful, a bit soft hearted and at the same time rude guy and knows his responsibilities, even if the decision he takes is too confusing. As for Sue, she has not any remarkable characteristic, but no problem. And Victor Doom. He is a playboy, a power driven man and he is the fifth, the one who becomes bad. The movie shows us if people who have these personalities gain special powers, what would they do?, who would they become? Step by step! Just because of this, the movie cannot be bad! Iron Man 2 had much amusement, but too less action, why people did not complain and they rated it high? When it comes Fantastic Four, they say just simply bad, because it is so amusing? Therefore, I see Fantastic Four as a kind of scapegoat. I was satisfied with action, there is not lots of action in Fantastic Four let's be honest, but it was satisfactory and at the same time, the movie was not boring at all, of course it changes according to everybody but. Returning to action, it has not lots of as said, not great, but really entertaining, especially the rocket scene was cool.
