A fun and vibrant film well worth watching!

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2006)

What I liked about this film is the colorful and bright approach. If you have seen it then you know what I mean, especially as compared to the comic book films that have been recently released by D.C. comics among others. Though there are those that like the dark and dreary approach I found the vibrant look and attitude of the film to be most refreshing and think that this is a trend that I have seen with Marvel Comics films. In my opinion this makes them superior, especially in the wake of such tragedies that have been experienced in the real world. This films light hearted approach offers hope in a fictional world that left a smile on my face when I left the theater. So for those that may be looking for a break from the bleak look and feel of superhero movies like Batman Returns then it would be worth your time to check out The Fantastic Four. Not only is it a fun filled thrill ride but the movie even pokes fun of itself at times. Bottom line, good times! Besides, Maria Menounous as a nurse!
