Great fun for the whole family !!

Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2005)

Parents, here finally is a comic book movie that you can take your 8-12 year old child to, and not have to worry about language or intense violence. This is a movie the whole family can enjoy. It has plenty of action, a very good storyline (sticking to the original Marvel comic book), good acting and special effects, and a family oriented brand of humor that is well interspersed between the action scenes.
I'm an adult who was turned off by the darkness of Batman Begins, and could not believe that it got by with a PG-13 rating. Same goes for Star Wars III. Both of them were too intense for the very market they were aimed at --- the 10-12 year old toy buyers, etc. Why did they change these perfectly fine movie series into frightening dark and intense films? Both of those movies turned me off.
But Fantastic Four was just right. Perfect fun and excitement for the entire family. I can't wait for the sequel !!
