Good family entertainment

The Fantastic Four movie is a lot of fun. Does it have it's flaws? Sure it does. Is it better than the other Marvel offerings Spider-Man and X-Men? No, FF clearly falls behind those movies. However, it ranks above Daredevil and The Hulk.
Enjoy FF for what it is: light-weight summer fare that doesn't take itself too seriously. I laughed at the banter and I was pleased with the action. Enjoy and have fun. $56 million during the first weekend. Let's see what week #2 brings.
Looking forward to the sequel where we hope to see Galactus and the Silver Surfer. Excelisor!
