Amazing, funny and fantastic!

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2005)

When I bought my ticket to see this movie I had no idea what to expect. I seen previews, previews that drove me to buy this ticket. My friend and I walked into the theater, took a seat and watched the red screen. After the previews had pasted the movie finally started.
I have never read any of the comics on this story, so I payed close attention to the screen. We were slowly introduced to the characters. Reed Richards (Gruffund), Susan Storm (Alba), Johnny Storm (Evans), Ben Grimm (Chicklis) and Victor Von Doom (McMahon) are five scientists that go into outer-space to study DNA.
After a cosmic radiation exposure hits them they wake up in Von Doom's 'care center' where they are studied for injuries. Slowly they all learn their powers. Johnny being set on fire, Susan turning invisible, Reed being able to stretch his arm to an amazing length(catching a falling champagne bottle), Ben turning into a 'stone monster' and Victor's hand/forearm turning to metal.
Reed, Susan, Johnny and Ben are forced to not go out in public after revealing their powers and being chased by screaming fans (Susan). Johnny seems to be the only one who's happy with his powers, while the other three wish to turn themselves back.
Reed swears to create a machine to turn them back, but not before testing everyone's powers. Victor's company quits on him and that causes him to kill a few people, well many people. Then he vows to steal everything Reed has, again. First eliminating his 'body guard' Ben "The Thing". This breaks them up Johnny and Ben going their separate ways while Susan and Reed stayed together.
Once Reed tried it on himself and it failed; Doom learns it needed more power. So Doom talked "The Thing" into using the machine. Success caused Ben to turn back into himself and Doom to become more powerful than ever. Becoming all metal, except his face. This brings them back together to take him on. They finally decide to keep their powers and use their powers to take him down.
Speacil effects are awesome, lines were funny, and the entire movie was fantastic! I loved it and would even go to see it again in the near future. This is definitely going to be in my DVD/VHS collection once it comes out. I give it a 10/10 and recommend it to everyone!
