Nice indeed but has foul comedy...

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2005)

***MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*** Well, I was shocked when I got into the mall and saw that Fantastic Four was Now Showing. I couldn't wait, I said. Having bought all those figures by Toybiz (and not to mention that hot, close to invisible in the toy shelves, Invisible Woman with Jessica Alba's likeness) makes it even more exciting. So I got myself a ticket and watched all by myself.
I have to admit, I was impressed by the visual effects...with all their powers just popping out of nowhere (Fireball of Human Torch, Invisible woman's forcefield)..the cast, especially that wicked Julian McMahon (surely his career will sky rocket after this one) and the hottest of the hot, Jessica Alba...the adaptation of the comic book especially that moving cosmic storm scene where you think they'll all die...and of course the story...
Everything from the start seemed to be catchy and all but when the middle hour came, I was so disappointed that all those foul jokes crop in and you'll just say, "Oh my God, he did not just say that." Like, when you kiss somebody, you don't say, "here's my lips" and just kiss in front of everyone, or answer back, "You missed me" after a conversation by Doom and the rest of the group kilometers way below (like how can he have heard the conversation)...And how can somebody smile while being hit by a cosmic storm???...Also, there are these inconsistencies that exist...(like how can you activate that cosmic storm machine after everyone proved there was not much power??? Or how can you know that the missile is out to hit you???)...well, let's see how you'll react then...
But overall, it's worth the movie ticket. And my action figures are worth my money too. I can't wait to see the sequel, maybe with new villains like the Moleman or Medusa. 8/10
