The Fantastic "Fantastic Four"

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2005)

Fantastic Four, although not the kind of movie that will go to the Academy Awards, is extremely entertaining, and will keep you occupied for the whole hour and 40 minutes.
This movie stars Ioan Gruffud, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis and Julian McMahon, as five scientists who receive a mission to go up to space to see how a mysterious golden cloud would effect the DNA of a flower. Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately) the cloud changes DNA, but not the flowers. All five members of the mission are affected with special powers.
Reed Richards, (Gruffud) Mr. Fantastic, Susan Storm, (Alba) The Invisable Woman, Johnny Storm, (Evans) The Human Torch, and Ben Grimm, (Chiklis) The Thing, become the hero's of New York, after showing their powers to save people from a disastrous truck explosion on a busy bridge. Unfortunately, Victor Von Doom (McMahon) receives the power of practically being a powerful metal man, who can blow electric power trough people and buildings. He does not use his power for good...he uses it for revenge.
Together the Fantastic Four must put aside the fact that Reed and Susan used to date, and Johnny and Ben don't always get along, in order to stop Von Doom before he burns a hole through New York City.
The movie holds funny jokes, great action sequences and overall good special effects. The acting is great, and the story line will entertain you and your friends and family.
