Superficial, But...

Rating: Null/10 (12 September 2006)

FANTASTIC FOUR *** It's not so fantastic. Tim Story's adaptation from the comic book series, where it is all based on, falls short on script and tries to make up for it in special effects and loud scenarios. Mark Frost and Michael France's screenplay explores the characters and their interplays superficially at best, which is a big minus, but there is something that keeps the viewer interested till the end. Scientists who are exploring space are mutated into superhumans - that is, the "Fantastic Four" - and try to make things right again. The story takes an unexpected shift where it spends a lot of time discussing issues of identity, humanity, and unity.
