Fantastically Abominable

Rating: 4/10 (15 July 2005)

I walked out of this movie, and I didn't even have to pay to see it. I walked out of a free sneak peak because this movie REALLY is THAT bad. It is so bad, it shouldn't be allowed to be shown to anyone.
So, where do I start? I believe that most comic book (and fantasy) movies need a STRONG villain to really take off. This comic book has a great one, and so my hopes were high. However, they miscast Doom, and the character was nothing more than a joke. The acting all around was wooden, there was NO PLOT WHATSOEVER! I was amazed at the ridiculous editing and sound of the movie, not to mention a score that will haunt my nightmares.
And it isn't even that this movie is bad compared to excellent comic book movies (and great MOVIES too, in my opinion) like the two Spider-Mans and Batman Begins. No, this movie is bad on its own, even though it IS laughable that this movie could come out less than a month after Batman and try to win the same audience.
So, to any who have had delusions about paying for this movie (ever in the theaters, to rent, or to own on DVD) DON'T DO IT! Just spend the time (just under 2 hrs?) bashing your head into the wall, and listening to someone scratch their nails against a chalk board. . And afterward, I'm sure you'd be able to give a review on Fantastic 4 just as accurate as mine, based on your experience alone.
PLEASE DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE! I hope I have saved some few fortunate people from seeing the movie; if not, at least I tried.
