As a person with at least a little knowledge of comics...

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2005)

This movie was NO WHERE NEAR as bad as you people on this board claim. Me being a person with no complete knowledge of the Fantastic Four, actually they were never exactly my favorites from Marvel, I really enjoyed this movie. Everyone else in the theater seemed to find it great too. After being on these boards and hearing this movie being bashed left and right, I was expecting it to be horrible or at least okay, nothing special. I was pleasantly surprised. This movie had a lot of humor in it, which seemed to keep me and the rest of the audience entertained. Although Doom might have been weak at times, or at least not up to the comics, I was impressed about how well Gruffudd, Alba, Evans and Chiklis were together as the Fantastic Four. Good altogether "chemistry" or whatever you wanna call it between them. Sometimes at each others throats then friends the next. This is no masterpiece of a movie, but a good summer blockbuster.
