a great film with a few classic comic-movie vices (spoilers marked)

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2005)

i really enjoyed the film. the actors did a wonderful job. i am lad to see ioan gruffudd landing lead role. i thought he was good in King Arthur even though the movie really wasn't. i was surprised by jessica alba's good performance, i had never seen her show. the human torch was hilarious.
-SPOILER!- michael chiklis did a great job as "the thing", although he seemed to change his mind about being a monster really quickly
only problem with comic book movies is that in developing the situation of the heroes they lose the opportunity to have a really good plot. the same was true for spiderman 1. however it is only true of part 1's, so i look forward to a sequel.
