Not terrible, but not the worst film ever. Enjoyable at times

Rating: 5/10 (23 April 2010)

The problem with the superhero genre is that it has seemed have developed into a genre for the early teenager. Films such as The Dark Knight, Spider-man to some extent, Ghost Rider, Hellboy and Iron Man do not look to 7-11 year olds as their primary audience. That is certainly one thing that Fantastic Four does well. It doesn't take itself totally seriously and it has a laugh. The characters are stupid and annoying at times and the whole thing is way over the top, but this is great for a younger audience than what the superhero genre normally targets itself towards. I didn't particularly enjoy it but I can see why people did. It does well for its target audience.
