Great Old Fashioned Adventure!

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2005)

Finally an adventure movie that doesn't make you blush or squirm!! A return to old fashioned values may not be popular with some, but I love the fact that I can take my 6 year old grand daughter or my 80 year old maiden aunt to see this movie without worrying. No swearing and no nudity were an unexpected bonus for me when I saw this movie, I'm no prude, but I am tired of sex and bad language being used "for effect". The "Fantastic Four" is an excellent take on the old Marvel comic book heroes. I'm not going to say anything about the movie plot, if you've read the comics then you know the premise for the movie. If you're not old enough to remember the comics then go see the movie, it's exciting, great special effects and, at just about 2 hours screen time, it's the perfect length. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a movie this much and I look forward to seeing a sequel (or several sequels).
