Total Crap

Rating: 2/10 (8 July 2005)

Terrible acting. Horrible dialog. "Fantastic Four" is total crap and definitely not worth seeing in the theater. The characters weren't developed at all, the acting was completely stale, and the evil villain barely has any motivation to... to do whatever it is he wanted to do (I still don't know what he was trying to do).
Jessica Alba was a huge disappointment. She didn't have any theme to her. Not even seeing her undress was redeeming enough.
Meanwhile Mr. Fantastic was lame as ever. He probably had the least character of them all. "Oh, look, I'm this guy who missed his move years ago and I don't go out and do what I want." BORRRRING.
And then there's flame boy. Oh, excuse me. "Torch." He's all "I gotta get out of here," leaves after watching daredevil biker stunts on the X-Games or something, and 5 minutes later he's there doing motorcycle jumps. I mean, what the hell?
The Thing was the only character that was halfway decent, the best done character in the movie although I still don't know how he would just give up on his wife when he returned to normal. Please. Despite this apparent lapse in good judgment, credit good acting by Michael Chiklis; however, in the end, The Thing couldn't save the movie from the miserable acting by the rest of cast.
The last hero movie that was like this featuring four superheroes who have to work together would be "The Incredibles," and that was a million times better than this garbage. Pitiful and lackluster, this movie gets a 2 out of 10 (out of four-five stars, I'll be nice and give it one). Don't see this movie. In fact, don't see any new movies that aren't Miyazaki or documentary films.
