Prepare for the Fantastic!

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2005)

I saw the movie yesterday and it was amazing! I was very excited to see it and let me tell you it was worth it! I loved the story line and how they made it happy, sad, full of love and funny.
The story is about five people, Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm, Johnny Storm and Victor Von Doom, who are accidentally hit by a cosmic storm while in space. The cosmic storm changes their entire biophysical structure which gives them super powers and makes them into Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Thing and The Human Torch, these four people make up the Fantastic Four who battle Victor Von Doom, who uses his powers for greater evil.
Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic hooks you in with his smarts and charming and loving attitude. He rarely thinks about himself and always puts his friends first. Ben Grimm/ The Thing goes through a very hard time when he gains his powers. He becomes a hideous monster and many people forgot about the sweet Ben Grimm inside and judged him for his looks. Self-doubting or rejected females can relate to Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, she feels like she is only seen for her beauty and not for who she is inside. Sometimes she does feel invisible, but all she wants to feel is loved and to be treated with respect. And Johnny Storm/The Human Torch immediately falls in love with his powers, and you will immediately fall in love with his good looks and his humorous personality, I know I did. Johnny embraces his powers and shows the team that the powers were given to them for a reason.
So when it comes time to battle Dr.Doom Sue, Reed and Ben listen to Johnny's advice and work together as one to defeat their enemy, accepting that they are now... The Fantastic Four, they are now heroes! But in the end Dr.Doom still seems to be alive leaving the movie open forFantastic Four 2 and 3.
This wonderful family movie is filled with love, heartbreak, pain and lots of laughs. I suggest everyone go see this movie, and as they say..."Prepare for the fantastic!"
