Special Effects were good...but not much else was...

Rating: 6/10 (2 August 2005)

Fantastic Four was at first glance a very good superhero movie (though, I must add, there are lots of them ^.^), but there are much better ones out there.
What's good: How not all the superheroes are perfect; how they didn't wish for this to happen, how it's not exactly the greatest thing in the world, especially for Ben a.k.a. "The Thing." Also, the special effects are the best part of the film.
What's bad: While the special effects are good, there isn't much else to the film. Also, only half of the superheroes do much with their powers, which is totally unrealistic; if I had super powers, I'd be using them as much as I could. Ben and Johnny did nothing BUT use their powers (as well as the bad guy, but that's another story. Power corrupts), while Sue and Reed rarely used them. The acting...was all right. There wasn't much to it, actually. But, they pulled it off OK. ****** 6/10
