a very good adaptation

Rating: 7/10 (26 August 2005)

people who love the fantastic four probably love the movie but to people who think this is another superhero blockbuster just to bank off spider-man and X-men are wrong this movie has a lot of good things going for it great CGI good plot and a great theme about family cause the fantastic four are family thats whats great about them its also got the best villain of all time DR.DOOM but i don't know about Julian McMahon hes good but I envisioned Dr.Doom much more vindictive and gritty but besides that every actor they got is perfect for the role especially Michael Chicklis as the blue eyed ever loving thing shines but his character gets brought down by being stereo typed as a hulk rip off let me tell you folks all these characters were before the hulk the incredibles and all of them Chris Evans is a great young gun with an attitude this movie starts off quick and fast throwing you into not the action but more of a cheaper by the dozen story with super powers my only problem you don't see the true effects of their power until the fight with doom which is way too short the movie probably got cut down a good 20 minutes like how they buctherd daredevil folks go rent that on directors cut totally different this movie is good but it did'nt focus on small things and the big things well enough I'd love to see the sequel shine on those things cause it wont be bogged down with a long origin story over all this movie is good go see it if you haven't
