Very entertaining..

Rating: 6/10 (15 July 2005)

Seems like the superheroes movie becomes the trend for the past five years. There are a lot of movies taken from the comic books, such as the Spiderman, the Batman, etc. However, do not expect the same things from those movies I have mentioned before. Fantastic Four does not emphasize on the same points as Spiderman or Batman. It rather goes with its own side of strengths, which I should say is really entertaining. I enjoyed this movie from the beginning until the end of the movie, although it would be better if Tim (the director) does not rush the ending.
Based on its visual and sound effect, I only give this movie an average credits. There are few scenes where you see the degradation of one subject to another, and makes it look unreal. And somehow I noticed that the voices of the actresses or actors are not strong enough, thus sometimes the audience was kind of lost.
Fantastic Four is a story of four people who went to the outer space in order to conduct a research, and become mutants after got hit by sort of cosmic storm. Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) is the Mr. Fantastic (for all of you who read the comic before), who is a genius scientist. After he got dumped by NASA for certain reason, he and his partner, Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis), went to Victor Von Doom (Julian McMahoon) to get funding on his research. There they meet Sue Storm (Jessica Alba) who is an employee of Victor and also Reed's ex-girlfriend. Things get really hilarious when Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) appeared in this movie. He is the brother of Sue who later on will possess fire as his mutation and call himself the Human Torch. These five people got different mutation caused by the storm. Reed becomes a rubber-man, Sue got her to be invincible, Ben becomes a stone-monster, and Victor becomes a metal-alloy man.
Overall, I really enjoy this movie. It is not as heavy or serious as Spiderman or Batman, but it can bring you a nice Saturday night. Enjoy it!
