Very well done.

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2005)

I have no great knowledge of the Fantastic 4 as they appeared in the comics as that was the time I was getting started in my career and I was too busy. So the movie has to stand on its own. I was half-expecting FX similar to the Hulk, but this was much better! Time was taken in this somewhat shorter film to flesh out the characters to some degree. I did compare Doom to Octavius, of Spiderman, and thought that Doom was slightly more believable. The cast was largely unknown to me, which ended up being a plus. Great blend of drama, comedy, and action!
If this film took any liberties from the comics, then the first Batman must also be zapped mightily for killing off the Joker, as should Superman for skipping Superboy altogether.
Not perfect, but very entertaining! 9 out of 10 for me.
