Fantastic Four? Maybe Mediocre Four

Rating: 6/10 (9 July 2005)

I have to admit that Fantastic Four was not as fantastic as I thought it would be (excuse the pun, couldn't resist). While even if you try to deal with the movie as plain silly fun, it still fails. I have to admit I do not know anything about the comic book so I was left a little clueless at certain points. But shouldn't the movie deal with telling the audience about the background information? I personally think that the movie lacked direction and could've been better, but wasn't. The actors were very beautiful and handsome, but they lacked any personality. The only one I thought did well was The Thing. The others were just sub-par. Jessica Alba, being as hot as she is, couldn't make the movie any more enjoyable.
By the end of the movie, I was questioning myself. This is it? The movie was just filled with light overused humor, along with kiddie special effects. A movie that could've been fantastic turns out flat. In my opinion it's worth a rental and well maybe go and see it in the theaters for the eye-candy. Other than that, you may want to skip it and see something else.
