Fun For Everyone

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2005)

Okay, I'm going start out first saying, I don't read comic books. However, between X-Men and Fantastic Four, I'm completely into the story lines now. I don't understand how people can hate it. Everyone is comparing it to Spiderman. I don't know why, because Spiderman was so boring that I fell asleep. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie even if the Human Torch bugged me a bit. It was a fun movie, especially for someone who has never really had interest in comic books. I guess all those comic junkies just have high expectations. Ah well.
The action sequences were fun and despite the PG-13 rating, they didn't seem to "traumatize" my 4 year old daughter. (Which is good, because I received a lot of flak for taking her to a PG-13 movie LOL).
In short, I'm really glad she begged me to see it, because I was a little skeptical at first, but I completely felt for the characters. Especially Ben. Not every movie has that one guy/gal you just feel so bad for. Well, some of them try, but sometimes they just come off as annoying. But not this movie, it had just about everything I want in a movie. Even cute guys (not Johnny, Ben LOL) and a little romance. (But if you tell anyone I like romance, I'll clobber you!) ;)
