Wonderful Movie

Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2005)

I have never really been interested in comic books and such, so when I saw the movie I was pleasantly surprised by the plot line. Its always nice to see how different people can work together in a difficult situation. I came first and foremost to see Ioan Gruffudd, star of the Horatio Hornblower series, who plays the brilliant leader Dr. Reed Richards. However, after watching the movie, I came to appreciate all of the actors for their superb acting skills. The biggest challenge was the "Human Torch" who annoyed me to no end at the beginning, but by the end, I could see that each of the Fantastic Four, including him, had something wonderful to offer. I would definitely see this movie again. If nothing else, it showed that even the "nerd" can have a happy ending without it being too sappy.
