Exactly what one would expect

Rating: 6/10 (22 July 2005)

I am beginning to feel nausea from all these "Marvelous" comic book movies. How much more money do they want before they start creating something new?
In Fantastic Four we see the story from the comic (and cartoons) a little modernized then filled with special effects and splashed on our screens. Cool effects, of course, but what about the story?
I always felt that F4 was one of the weakest comic books. The characters were phony, the dialogues silly, the story unbelievable. While the movie does more towards the acceptance of the script and fixes the dialogues a bit, it still feels silly.
Therefore I will conclude that it is a good movie for its intended audience (10 year old boys) but beyond that it's just a special FX extravaganza.
