Terrible - Not faithful to the comics AT ALL

Rating: 1/10 (15 September 2009)

None of the characters were faithful depictions of the comic book characters. The script sucked, the film was rife with inconsistencies, and the special effects were mediocre at best.
Dr. Reed Richards was not a timid naive pu**y, he was a tormented super genius who had his sh*t together. Ioan Gruffudd was an incredibly bad choice to play Richards, he looks nothing like him.
The Human Torch was a funny prankster - many of his lines were feeble attempts at humor, not actually funny. Also I would point out, in the comic he was not a pretty boy, he was drawn with a heroic, manly facial structure.
Ben Grim lived up to his name - he was grim and angry, sometimes funny but mostly not. The only positive is that Michael Chiklis was the perfect actor for Ben Grim - but he did not pull off the personality.
The invisible girl was sometimes melodramatic but was often the member with the most common sense out of the four.
Dr. Doom was complete fail. First of all Dr. Doom is one of the most intimidating frightful villains in the entire Marvel Universe. Julian McMahon has a voice that sounds more like Bill Gates than a terrifying super villain. He was basically a nerd in a badly constructed doom costume that barely resembled the classic Dr. Doom armor and an overdone iron mask. They did not faithfully depict Dr. Dooms intentions. Dr. Doom is really not so much of a villain because his intentions were always to bring order to a chaotic world using any means necessary. He was not vengeful or "evil", he simply did what had to be done to save his homeland. Instead, they depicted him as some vengeful maniac who simply wanted to see the end of Reed Richards. This is not the story told in the actual comics.
