The Fantastic Four Rocks!

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2005)

Going into this movie I thought it would be awful,but I was wrong.It was a great,fun movie.
This story starts with five scientists going into space to examine a cosmic storm.They get to their space station and begin to prepare for the storm,but the storm comes early and their shields are down and the storm hits transforming the five into:Mr. Fantastic,The Invisible Girl,The Thing,The Human Torch,and the evil Doctor Doom.
To start it off the story was fairly good,the only real problem I had with it was they changed a few minor details from the comic,but none of them were big enough to destroy the movie.One thing I really loved is how well they took the comedic aspect of the comics and transferred them to the movie.I also loved how quickly the story moved which made it feel like only an hour long,but one of its strongpoints is also one of its weakpoints.The movie sometimes moved so fast you missed some stuff.My only other problem with it was that I wished the final fight was longer because it was so cool.
But every thing else was spectacular.The directing was great,and so was the acting(especially Gruffud,Evans,and Chiklis).The sets,props,and costumes all looked spectacular,and so did the special effects.If this movie didn't have such good special effects it would have fallen flat on its face,but it didn't.The score was also really good,although it had no real memorable theme it was real good and it fit the tone and mood of the movie really well.
All in all it was a great,fun movie that everyone will enjoy.If you just see one movie this weekend go see the Fantastic Four,this movie rocks!
A great: 8/10!!!!
