It's just the same old thing

Rating: Null/10 (28 June 2005)

After seeing The Fantastic Four, I felt like I was watching over the same old movie again and again. Maybe it could have been amazing ten years ago, before "X2","Spiderman" "Hulk", "Batman Begins" or "Revenge of the Siths". But if you saw any of the movies above, it will be very hard to be surprised by this one.
First of all, the cast was not that good. Jessica Alba seems too young for Susan, and Chris Evans just doesn't seems to fit his role. Mr Doom is very laughable and it's not scary at all, specially because is interpreted by that guy from "Nip Tuck" we're all used to see as a "casanova". The rest of the cast (and the two most important characters, Mr. Fantastic and The Thing) are kinda unknown, but that's not really a bad thing. I think that the major problem with comic movies is that''s really hard for fans to get used to see a real person incarnating his/her childhood hero. So, the less famous the actor, the better.
About the plot, all I can say it's a bit disappointing, and it has all the flares and holes that this kind of movie seems to have. It's not a bad movie, but it's not original. So to speak, you won't find anything new in "Fantastic fours", but you won't fall asleep either.
