not what expected

Rating: 4/10 (6 December 2006)

contains spoilers The Fantastic Four was a pretty good super hero movie but it lacked something. I do not think it truly lived up to it's endless hype from early this year. In most super hero movies as in x men the first half is the characters discovering and honing their powers then the other half is using them to battle evil. In this movie three fourths of it is them not liking their superpowers trying to figure out how to get rid of them. Then the last quarter after they defeat Dr. doom they embrace their powers and decide to stay that way to help mankind from foes. So know we are left with only really 2 or 3 action scenes most of which are in the trailer. I imagine the next one (of course, if there is a next one) will be more action packed.
