A waste of a perfectly good idea for a comic book movie.

Rating: 2/10 (6 September 2005)

It seems like Marvel production studios are using Tim Story (director) to try to fill the holes for comic book fans until Spiderman 3 and X-men 3 come out in 2007. I just hope that they don't lose too many fans because of Fantastic Four. That meaning this movie sucked. With a "B" class line up of stars including Ioan Gruffudd (Mr. Fantastic) the science nerd with the rip-off ability of DC's Plastic Man, Jessica Alba (Invisible Girl) possibly the only decent character in this movie, Chris Evans (Flame Boy) whose jokes get so old by the end of the film you feel like puking, Michael Chiklis (The Thing) a big ugly sob story, and Julian McHahon (Dr. Doom) the boasting rival of Mr. Fantastic whose super-power never even becomes that clear. Basically, this movie missed so many opportunities to be great which caused it to basically miss the point.
