A waste of time and special effects

Rating: 2/10 (17 March 2006)

This movie was a great disappointment. After the wonderful translations of Spiderman and X-Men to the big screen, I was hopeful that the Fantastic Four would get similar treatment. Alas, it was not to be. Poor casting choices (Jessica Alba was simply not the right choice for the role of Susan Storm and who was that actor playing Von Doom??), a lack of continuity (things happened in the second half which simply made no sense), and a villain whose motives were confusing and nonsensical (was it all really just for money? revenge? if so, for what?).
The special effects were pretty darn good, but they simply sat there because there was no plot to back them up.
