Great Marvel Stuff

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2007)

The Fantastic 4, perfect casting. The story was accurate and the Four's relationships with each other were exactly as I remembered them from both comic book and cartoon. It's a real pity that Julian McMahon was a bit boring in the role of Doom at times. A look at Ian McKellen as Magneto in X Men or Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor in Superman would have been an idea. And, wan't Doctor Doom supposed to be the king of Latervia? Only a brief glimpse at the word on the boat at the end!? The general story of how Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben came to terms with their powers was accurate and the responsibilities that come with them too made the characters interesting. The public's reaction to the Fantastic 4 was in real comic book style. For everything there was missing in this film, I'm sure will be made up for in the films to come. This film was a rare spot on super hero movie.
