Fantastic Film

Rating: 8/10 (29 July 2005)

I grew up reading Marvel comics and love all the stuff now coming out based on them. This movie pushed all the right buttons for me - the special effects were great, the acting was fine and the storyline was in keeping with my memories of the comic book. I noticed that Stan Lee, creator of the original Marvel comic books, was involved in the directing ( he must be pretty old now !! ). The film whizzed by for me ( which is always a good sign ) and I was happy at the end as everything was in place for a sequel. Michael Chiklis is great as the Thing and Jessica Alba is well.... absolutely gorgeous ! If you were a fan of the Fantastic Four in the comics you can't afford to miss this film. I recommend it as a highly entertaining 8/10.
