"Funtastic" Four

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2005)

Let's preface this entire review with this...I never watched the Fantastic Four cartoons or read the comic books. That being said... This was a fun movie. It had some pretty exciting special effects, especially the human torch/ Johnny Storm scenes. It had some fun humor...OK, it was kind of "campy" humor in spots, but hey... what can be more fun than a silly joke or gag? I thought the story was interesting, especially since I personally did not know the history of how they came to be the Fantastic Four. I don't understand why people have to compare movies to other movies...can't a movie just be a fun experience...this was a fun popcorn movie...a fun date flick, and a fun family movie...my 6 year old really enjoyed it as well. Go and have fun!
