Early era superhero film

Rating: Null/10 (31 October 2018)

Fantastic Four has its good points - there are individual scenes that work and the special effects are variable, but all four of the superheroes are rendered effectively. There's a nice sense of teamwork in the final battle, and it contains moments of surprise and excitement. Too bad that it comes too quickly and with too little build-up. Fantastic Four is frustrating because it doesn't seem far removed from a wholly enjoyable motion picture, but the tempo's off, beats are missed, and the production ends up sounding out-of-tune. The actors are all good except Jessica Alba who seems a bit wooden. Fantastic 4 was made before he deluge of Superhero films. Watch it just to reminiscence of the good ole days.
