It's a children's film!! So don't read so much into it!

Rating: 7/10 (24 July 2005)

I get annoyed when I read reviews such as Heaths of NY. I am a parent of a nine and a half year old living in London. We love the cinema and go a lot.
However I accept that there are films my daughter will love and I think.... rubbish!! But you must remember that most are aimed at CHILDREN!! An Fantastic 4 is such a case. It is a film aimed at children/teenagers NOT adults although I think it did very well at including good humour to keep us adults awake and I can say i enjoyed it, especially the special effects.
Of course the plot was thin Heath.... it is not aimed at you an adult film critique type person!! It is a kids film marketed and aimed at kids first and foremost. If you thought otherwise then you are uninformed and naive to say the least.
So.. to all people.. it is a good movie for kids and parents alike because parents know what to expect! And the good news for parents is, that is really is quite good and will be a good experience. However I would say that kids under 7/8 will get fidgety because they wont understand the storyline . There were under 6's in the cinema when i went and they were bored and whinging! I really enjoyed it because I have been to kids movies much worse with too much shmaltz and cheesiness. This was a good film!
