Good superhero film...action, adventure, marvel

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2005)

I enjoyed this film, though i agree it lacks something. i think because this was the first in a (hopefully) series of fantastic four films to come, it had to take a little more time to explain and show how these people became what they are.
Now that that is out of the way, it leaves a whole lot of experimenting with the second film which can just cut straight to the action as we have already been shown them as astronauts and the fatal journey into space blah blah blah.
This is a classic comic book, and the film does not let the comics down..you can read all of the reviews in the world but its really down to your own opinion of weather you like this film or not. it carries a good source of action on its back which anyone from children to adults can enjoy.
The actors all became their characters quite well, but if i had to say the worst i would point out Ioan Gruffudd as Mr. Fantastic, as i thought he was a bit wooden through out the film...but maybe thats the way he was intended to come across, as this is just my opinion. And it was nice and refreshing to see Micheal Chiklis as The Thing in a full-on suit instead of being controlled through CGI.
I though the story was a bit thin but it didn't fail to impress me, to be honest the time flew by while watching this film because even though it has its non-action scenes it still has your attention.
This is probably not Marvels best film but it is definitely not its worst. 7/10
