Had the Makings of a Great Movie

Rating: 6/10 (10 July 2005)

The movie had plenty of eye candy. In some of the scenes the special effects were blended so well into the story that you did not think about it (those are the best kind of effects). I especially like the thing, because it was not CGI (was it?) and I kept wondering, "how did they do that?" The movie should get extra points just for that.
The movie did not drag and had some humor too. Johnny Storm was my favorite, the actor that played him was perfectly cast. He energized every scene he was in and some of his one liners were really funny! The movie did stay true to the comic book. I mean, come on were we expecting Shakespeare?! I always thought of the Fantastic Four as the lighter side of DC Comics, especially when you compare these characters with Batman or Wolverine for example.
If you like action, eye candy, and humor, with a little villainy thrown in, check it out!
