Fantastic Snoar

Rating: 6/10 (24 April 2006)

This movie should be taken as a sign: to maybe rethink making every comic book franchise available into a movie. This movie really could have been something great, but it wasn't. It was very average, which makes the rest of us a lot less optimistic that these kinds of movies can continue.
Everything in the movie feels like a cliché, the villain, the heroes, the situations they land in, and the ending, and that is very worrying, that after only a few years, it is all turning into a cliché.
But its not all bad. Chris Evans works really well as Johnny Storm, adding humour that is not unintentional, and The Thing is equally as good, probably the most developed character in the movie, and a couple of the action scenes are exciting, but the rest of the movie feels rushed, almost as if the director/screenwriter has thought "OK, comic book movies have these kind of moments, and this should happen" instead of taking a stab at turning Fantastic Four into something different and original.
Wasted opportunity.
