Just like much other Comic-Movies: Great!

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2005)

It was about time that Fantastic Four(F4) got his own movie. After Batty, Spidey, DareDevil and some ridiculous movie's about "heroes" that doesn't even has his own comic-book(Elektra, Catwoman) I was really excited to hear that F4 would get a movie. Of course, it's the latest 'trend' to make comic-movies, but as F4 was always my favorite comic, I was happy to hear it.
F4 is just like all other comic-movies filled with gorgeous actors/actresses, great special effect and cool villains and heroes. F4 has it all. And also, just like other comic-movies each hero has his own problems with love, each other, blabber blabber. But unlike other Comic-Movies(I mean Batman/Spiderman/Superman) the F4 team doesn't wear hideous mask so no one would know who they are. Okay, little explanation about the story then:
After 4 Astronauts, Sue Storm - Reed Richards - Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm, had an accident in space and are exposed to cosmic energy, they find out that they have special powers. Sue Storm AKA The Invisible Woman has the power to turn invisible and create power/protection shields. Reed Richards AKA Mr. Fantastic is more like the leader of the group and he is stretchable. VERY stretchable. Then, there is Benjamin Grimm AKA The Thing. Well ... he's a ... stone hard thing. And Johnny AKA The Human Torch is the wild pig of the 4 and has the power to turn Supernova, what means he can be as hot as the sun. Throughout the movie, they try everything to get normal but in a moment they realize that these 'powers' are not bad, but they can DO things with it. What no one else actually noticed is that there was another man on the spaceship: Victor Von Doom, the most powerful man in the city (Including a 20 meters high statue with his shiny face). He was also exposed to the cosmic energy but the accident doesn't really ... heroemanize him. Because of the rampage, his company and himself are ruined and of course, he is not really fond of it. He turns into Dr. Doom and tries to Doom everyone who was involved with his ruining, and that is of course Reed Richards, who's idea it was in the first place to go to space.
Blabber blabber...As you see(actually, read ... ) the movie is by no mean intelligent with a great storyline and the best acting. But that's not what an comic-movie is.
Fantastic Four is just another Comic-Movie ... and that's not bad at all!
