Entertaining popcorn movie with great characterisation

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2008)

"Fantastic Four" is an enjoyable, high-gloss popcorn movie with enough characterisation and talent to make it a success.
The principal actors are all first class and Jessica Alba's presence in the proceedings always makes the journey more enjoyable.
Director Tim Story's pace and vision carries the tale along in a welcome fashion and the movie doesn't outstay its welcome. Lean and light, "Fantastic Four" is a superior Marvel outing.
Julian McMahon's transformation into "Doctor Doom" may be short but this introduction to the characters is slick and stylish.
8 out of 10. A super-hero film I could watch a second time.
