Fantastic Four? Fantastic Film.

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2005)

I was really pleased with this film, actually, considering how badly (in my opinion) some of the other Marvel Comic-Book film-translations have been. The group dynamic and tension is spot on throughout the whole thing, and the relationship between Sue and Reed is *perfect*. Kudos to whoever chose the cast, as they also did a perfect job, Chris Evans as Johnny plays to the 'playboy' ideal perfectly, and Jessica Alba pulls up the sisterly and motherly side of her character. What's best is the interactions between the characters, and they deal with the whole 'I have superpowers now' with distrust and fear instead of 'cool! Let's go so something!' which makes it so much more realistic. If the sequel's anything like this, it'll be a fantastic film! Let's just hope they don't destroy it as Hollywood has a penchant for doing.
