Hello kids, that's only for you !!!

Rating: 4/10 (4 August 2005)

This movie is so boring. It's a pity to take a rich subject like these with not much or less interest than the others superheros (spiderman, daredevil, etc...). But this movie was made for kids. Instead of questionning itself about their powers, the characters are making jokes under the sight of the medias. It's like they know that someone is looking at their life. The problem is that the director needs to present the characters but he forget that he has a story to tell to the public to attract them and to respect the background of the comics. Tim Story is a clip man, a yes men. I really think he didn't know the comic book before filming that. We have the impression that he discover the character during his shoot, like a child. Oh, oh ElasticMan is a really funny guy, he can takes some toilet paper when they're not. OH, the Human torch can build a jacuzzi in the middle of a mountain. Sic!! Fortunately, the Thing left there well, he's the richest character of the film. Sue Storm is under employ in spite of his power, but thanks to the cast director and the make-up artist, she's shining upon the movie. Finally, Van Doom should be a terrific bad guy, but a the moment he become interesting, we cannot see his reel power, he's getting behind to be useful in the next movie. So Fatastic Four is a reel disaster. We were accustomed to tormented superheros who think about their old life, who don't want to protect peoples, who wants to live a normal life with no great responsibilities, some people who doubt about themselves. But the 4 are superheros like in the 60's, an illustration of the great America who save the planet. Isn't' Captain America that Stan Lee is trying to product next ???
