Light, enjoyable superheroes movie

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2005)

I'm the kind who doesn't like watching drama. I watch a movie to entertain myself. I don't like going out a theater feeling worse than when I went in. If you're like me, you'll enjoy this movie. I personally found the movie a little short... but that's a good thing. The movie is around 1hr,45mins long, but they can still stretch it longer and I won't feel bored.
Trying not to give out too much: F4 doesn't focus on villain versus heroes. It focuses more on characterization and heroism. It doesn't flood the screen with, out-of-this-world special effects, but rather with more down to earth human psyche and team work.
The F4 is more "heroic hearted" than Spiderman in the movies (as opposed to the comics). The F4 is more cohesive as a team than the X-men in the movies.
I saw this movie with my girlfriend. We both liked it. In fact, we're planning to watch it again, then buy the VCD/DVD version when it comes out! This is the first time we planned on seeing a movie again by the way.
Fan note: I'm not only expecting a sequel, but also hoping for a cross-over with say, Spiderman.
