A comic movie geared towards the kids.

Rating: 5/10 (27 May 2006)

It seems most comic book films are receiving the royal treatment these days. Aiming towards the more adult audience, making the characters more dark and true to life. Examples obviously include Spiderman, Sin City, X-Men, Batman etc...
And while all those movies were made much darker and more serious, The Fantastic Four seemed to cater to the younger audience and the more cookie cutter movie crowd. (There is a snowboarding sequence in this movie for pete's sake.) But regardless of all the safe-way-out flaws, it remains a fun flick for kids and parents. But the core comic crowd might be a little disappointed.
