Description
In this thrill-filled live-action Marvel Comics adaptation, director Tim Story (BARBERSHOP) balances comedy, romantic intrigue, special effects, high action, and even scientific trivia for a rounded FANTASTIC FOUR. Here, Mister Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd), Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba), The Human Torch (Chris Evans), and The Thing (Michael Chiklis) come together on a space mission that goes wrong. The ship's owner (Julian McMahon)--who later transforms into evil Doctor Doom--refuses to abort the mission during a solar storm, which electrifies the ship and its entire crew, causing radical changes to their DNA. Back on earth, the transformed heroes adjust to their new powers, which are specific to their personalities. Mister Fantastic, who lacks assertion, has stretchy limbs of rubber. Invisible Woman, who loves Fantastic but thinks he can't see her for who she really is, does a disappearing act. The Human Torch, an immature guy who is brimming with energy, can burst into flames. And finally, The Thing, a great friend who is as solid as a rock, actually turns into one--and loses his wife due to his weighty disposition. Holing up in Fantastic's scientific lab where they run experiments on themselves in hopes of changing back to normal, the crew learns that Doctor Doom--who is so power hungry that he turns into metal and is able to conduct electrical currents--poses a serious threat. The heroes quickly master their abilities and channel their scientific smarts for one truly fantastic five-way face-off. Visually, action sequences give way to tranquil interludes such as the New York City skyline with the Fantastics' lab glowing atop a skyscraper, while plot-wise, the interplay between the characters brings a human element to the film, with some touching moments from The Thing. At the end, a door is left open for what could be a super sequel.

For the first instalment of the franchise, I have a certain threshold for mistakes, or mishaps in the script, casting choices, and how fast/slow the storyline unfolds. Fantastic Four the movie held up its front and can only look forward to get better, and to develop these characters just like how the comics have done. Developing the characters in any movie is a very important aspect for the...
After all the suspence and the wait for an FF movie, it was to say the least a little disappointing. Effects were good but they should have gone CG with the Thing. Chickless is good but the costume just does not quite get it done. The plot is week and the ending sucked.
The was fun and my son loved the invisible woman. It's a good family movie. It also had some humor in it too. In a way, it taught a lesson about love and friendship. It DID not Suck! It could be better just like any other movie.
I hated the Fantastic Four movie it portrayed the characters in their lamest. I actually think that the characters in the comics are great but in this movie it just isn't so::: The Invisible Woman was a bitch I mean she dumped a nice guy just because she couldn't get her way. And she hooks up with his rivel to make him jealous. THE BITCH! Well on the upside she was hott and bolnd like the...
Strengths: typical superhero movie
Weakness: needed more action
The movie was a pretty good movie. Needed more action. All the actors fit the part right. If they do make a sequel hopefully it will have more action. I would recommend this movie if you like superhero movies.
A cinematic abomination, possibly the worst movie ever made about comic book heroes. The best part is that they got to the point and you didn't have to wait 45 minutes for it to get going. Dr. Doom in this movie was dreadful. Instead of being a slightly sympathetic fictional Eastern European dictator he got turned into some sort of evil yuppie cliche spouting awful lines. Ok, The Iron Curtain...
Had al lthe makings for a great movie but then just fell flat on its face. Too much origin not enough story.
All the critics I read said this was a lousy movie and should be avoided. I had to see it in a small theater, the old school kind, but I thought it wasn't bad. Jessica Alba was very attractive. All the actors weren't bad either. I really liked the guy who played The Thing. He played the part well. Some thing I didn't like; the music was ok, but it could have been better. They could have given...

Fantastic Four is a goofy, mediocre entry in the superhero genre.

Mediocre and formulaic.
