Not great but pretty entertaining...

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2005)

I have never read a Fantastic Four comic (what can I say I'm a DC man.) so take from that what you will. I've heard lots of rabid haters of this movie. Both from people who have seen it and from those who have not. Some folks (specifically Harry Knowles from AICN) could not wait to bash this movie. Now, I admit there is some cheesy dialogue here and there, and some special effects that ain't so special but after the movie was over I was happy. And that's what I go to the movies for... to be entertained. And judging by the crowd they were happy too.
The action starts early but It's the Four discovering their powers, bickering, mastering their powers, bickering, and learning to work as a team, and bickering that made me enjoy the movie. Thing I didn't like? Dr. Doom honestly... I never EVER felt him as a threat.
Anyway, go watch the movie and have a good time.
