Fantastic Four is a superhero film based on the story about a handful of heroes become superheroes under unlikely circumstances.It was adapted from the long-running Marvel comic-book series.It stars Ioan Gruffudd,Jessica Alba,Chris Evans,Michael Chiklis and Julian McMahon.It was directed by Tim Story.
Four astronauts are on a mission aboard a new experimental spacecraft when they are unexpectedly exposed to a massive dose of gamma rays. The accident causes strange and unexpected transformations in all four. Reed Richards, top scientist and leader of the mission, can now stretch his body like elastic and is dubbed Mr. Fantastic. His partner and sweetheart, Sue Storm,develops the ability to become invisible at will, and becomes known as The Invisible Girl. Her younger brother, Johnny Storm, is renamed The Human Torch for his new talent of being able to summon up fire from his body when he chooses. And Ben Grimm, pilot for the journey, mutates into a monstrous creature with superhuman strength and muscles like stone, known as The Thing. Together, the travelers become known as the Fantastic Four, and they set out to use their unusual skills to fight crime, quickly gaining a nemesis in another altered hero who uses his talents for evil, Doctor Doom.
The movie is terribly miscast due to bland performances. It's poorly written,visually uninteresting and boring. It drags considerably. There are huge gaps without any action.It also brings the pacing to an unbearable crawl.It exists largely to entertain and delight but it fails to deliver.
