This movie was great, no, Fantastic!!

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2005)

Fist let me state that you cannot go into this movie with the same expectations as batman. They are two different stories and approaches, they are incomparable. The fantastic four is meant to be light hearted, not at all dramatic. Some of you batman fan boys should actually read a fantastic four comic. They are four people who just happened to get super powers, that's it. No parents or uncle died. No sacrifices had to be made. They were just four people who were thrown together by and unfortunate incident, which made them heroes. That's it. If you are expecting some sort of devious physiological movie with tragedy and sadness, this isn't really for you. It was funny and just a feel good movie. If you're into movies that are good and make you feel good, then go see it. If you're not into that then don't, but please don't criticize the characters for the way they were written. And don't attack the basis by which the actually comic was written. "The comic has typically emphasized that the Fantastic Four, unlike most superhero teams, are truly a family. Three of the four members are directly related (with the Thing being the exception), and additionally, the children of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, Franklin Richards and Valeria Richards, are regulars on the series. Additionally, while the Thing is not actually related to the other members, his relationship with Mister Fantastic and the Human Torch is nonetheless quite sibling-like." In conclusion, it rockedÂ…hard. Go see it. The critics got this one wrong.
