Good but not great.A little overcooked on the comedy side and a little light on action. Decent attempt however.

Rating: 7/10 (9 May 2008)

Although i quite enjoyed the tone of Fantastic Four and found myself more entertained than most led me to believe i would be i still got a nagging feeling that an opportunity had been missed here.The foursome are all great fun in their roles,Jessica Alba looks stunning as Sue Storm and Chris Evans is a bolt of energy as Torch.The problem is a lack of action and just a little too much comedy.That said, when the action does kick in , its whizz bang stuff with some impressive CGI,just a pity there wasn't a bit more.Im not sure if the film could have actually been made much better than it was.Its a tough ask to make a film about multiple super heroes.Bryan Singer did a great job of it with his X-Men films but those levels of entertainment are not quite realised here.A fun film but slightly short of the the quality expected.
