I felt disappointed by this one.

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2008)

Some people gave this Marvel adaption positive reviews but the over whelming majority gave this negative reviews and keeping that in mind I decided to venture on with viewing this although. And trying not to be too harsh with this one although it was entertaining on the whole it felt more like a let down. Based loosely on the Ultimate Fantastic Four the film tries to keep in spirit with the comic book however the problems are very clear and present from the very start. The first problem is that it moves way way to fast and thusly gives no time for character development which just makes the movie seem like a brainless action movie and does not make us care about the characters , something which I found very disappointing giving that I grew up on the cartoons and comics. The script just seemed very superficial that even I could memorise it without any problems. Although the actors done good with what they had it felt that just like Topher Grace as Venom they had very little to work with I would have to say that stand out performances were from Julian McMahon as Dr Doom apart from that the movie was nothing special at all. I would recommend it as a rental and that is if you can't find anything else to watch.
FANTASTIC FOUR - 7.8 OUT OF 10
PREPARE FOR THE FANTASTIC...
