In the words from the Jizz-Mopper in Clerks... Mr. Story, "You've Highly Offended Me!"

Rating: 4/10 (2 January 2007)

I just saw Fantastic Four (January 2nd, 2007), and actually I did it 'cause of the trailer from Rise of the Silver Surfer. I was waiting for the film to open in 2005 at cinemas, but when EVERYONE I know told me that the movie sucked, I just had to resign the hope that I had to see another incredible comic adaptation, the hope to see the Fantastic Four in action.
I don't think I can recall a movie where the director had so little (not to say ANY) knowledge of the script that he was about to work on. The key scenes lacked from ANY interest, the characters are poorly developed. I'd like to take a little while in this subject, 'cause many of my friends told me that was a really bad casting, but I have to say... Its not the best casting, but could've been worked out correctly. Sadly for us, the TRUE BELIEVERS, this movie is not the case.
It lacked the thing that I will always be looking' on a comic book adaptation (Besides to be a flashy display of effects with a killer photography i.e. Hulk, Superman Returns, Batman Begins), and that is for EVERY character, it doesn't matter to be villain or hero, to be HUMAN! as Eric Bana on Hulk, as Peter (Mostly on Spider-Man 2, not so much on the first one) and lately perfectly molded by Bryan Singer, a Clark Kent who is an Alien more human than any character on any comic book adaptation I've ever saw. I really hope that Mr. Story has taken a few classes about comic book appreciation (and film making wouldn't hurt him either) and don't become another Brett Ratner killing for good a series that STILL can be saved... Mr. Story, you had ruined this first movie and still got a second chance, don't blew it the next time...
To every future director from a comic book adaptation, please: Take your time, read the characters, fell in love with'em and then ONLY then, sign your contract... Don't do it for money... do it for us... the True Believers!
Just for the record, you've offended me higher than Brett Ratner and that AWFUL X3 that actually was like another Triple-X movie, instead of Vin Diesel we had Vinnie Jones.
