Time to flame on and clobber.

Rating: 7/10 (24 October 2011)

On of the first super hero teams to exist, the Fantastic Four had reached stardom throughout the years, so naturally a movie adaptation is inevitable. Roger Corman made his version in 1994, but it never had a theatrical release. This one is the film we're all familiar with. So let's flame on and take a look at this, dare I say it, "fantastic" film.
We all know the plot: Four scientists get exposed to cosmic radiation and wind up getting super powers, thus becoming Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch, and The Thing. While trying to get use to their newfound powers and fame, they must content with the tyrannical Doctor Doom, who wants to destroy them all one by one. It's clobberin' time!
This movie is pretty darn good. It has good action, good character development, good science (for all the nerds out there), and a decent story. All the characters are portrayed accurately and it's pretty funny sometimes when they interact with each other while other times their emotions are conveyed quite well. Doctor Doom is a great villain, absolutely powerful and deceitful, a deadly combination. The big fight in the end is worth the wait.
I only wish that they add more action in this movie, like have the Thing beat down a few criminals, but what can I do? Overall, nicely done. A mostly faithful adaptation to the classic comic book.
