Brilliant, does exactly what it says on the tin and then some!

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 2005)

I absolutely adored the Fantastic Four when I was a kid. The film did not disappoint. I was able to appreciate the special effects, the Thing's suit, Johnny's flame on and Mr Fantastic's elasticity with my adult eye, while just enjoying the whole thing on a visceral level of excitement.
There were some good jokes as well, the best being when Susan Storm thinks Mr Fantastic is admiring the fit of her uniform, he is just impressed by the technology of the fabric.
I was VERY surprised at the number of negative reviews out there and was utterly delighted to find how wrong they were when I got to the cinema. Don't listen to the experts - go anyway and give yourself a treat!
