Excellent! A very good start for a franchise. Can't wait for sequel!

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2005)

The character development was very good, as was the exploration of their new powers and the impact of them in their lives. The special effects were also good. The movie was good enough to keep us adults interested but was also very appropriate for the kiddies. It was MUCH better than X-Men 1 but not quite as good as Batman Begins. It is an excellent start for a franchise. I hope they will continue to bring in fresh bad guys and not just use the same one each time. I can't understand why the HULK movie could not use the same special affects as fantastic four did with "the thing". I was so disappointed that the Hulk used a CGI hulk, I could not even bring myself to watch it.
