Fantastically Bad

Rating: 4/10 (9 July 2005)

Fantastic Four I went to F4 expecting a bad movie, but what I got was even worse, the film is an inept attempt in the comic book genre.
Tim Story for who knows what reason direct this highly anticipated movie, the result is a lack of focus and bland direction, focusing more on the jokes than anything else.
The acting was nothing memorable, obviously almost everyone is miscast- ed here, are we really supposed to believe that this people are scientists?, because I didn't believe it at all, the only one that showed some strong acting was Michael Chiklis, his role is also the only one that its kind of developed.
The script is full of one-liners and 'funny' moments that really add nothing to the film, the development of the characters is non-existent and the plot just flows because of the editing.
The villain is underdeveloped, just there for the purpose of filling the 2 hours.
The movie is way aimed to kids and teenagers, reminds me of the Power Rangers movie which is also of FOX.
This doesn't compare with X-Men, Spider-Man and Batman Begins, its a shame to even be compare with that, it's actually worse that Daredevil and Hulk.
I recommend you to watch the cartoons or read the comic book, they're better than this.
4/10
