Fantastic? That's debatable *Spoilers*

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2005)

I'm giving this movie a high rating because I really enjoyed it. I think the cast were fine actors working with the very minimum of a script.
The truth is there is some storyline of Dr. Doom going insane after the loss of his company thanks to Reed's failed experiment and trying to take down the fantastic four as revenge. It's a weak storyline, but still there.
Now Marvel has always had their heroes being struggling, not enjoying the superhero business and the storyline has followed through here with the "Thing" who looses his fiancé because of his transformation. The others are having problems between themselves (old feelings coming back yadda yadda) My only real advice here is that if you want a dark "thinking" movie, go see Batman Begins, however if you want a fun summer movie that focuses on action and some interestingly placed comedy then Fantastic Four is for you.
Hopefully if they make a sequel, now that they have the basics (introducion of powers, etc.) covered they can make a movie more friendly to critics.
