 | "Wow! You're hot!"
"Thank you. So are you." - Johnny Storm still gets the chicks even if he is a flamer & a member of "The Fantastic Four"
Another "Marvel" property is taken from the pages of its comic book & transferred to the big screen. But, this time it's the grandaddy of "Marvel" characters, "The Fantastic Four".
A group of scientists rocket into space to study the effects of a cosmic storm, but, due to a miscalculation the team is sent thru the storm, instead of near it.
The group survives to find themselves back on Earth in quarintine by their employer, Von Doom Industries. The group seems o.k., but, it isn't soon after that their bodies start to mutate.
For Ben Grimm, the co-pilot & space walker of the mission, his body starts to harden into rock while his molecular body structure, & organs change to compensate for the mutation. In otherwords he's completely made of rock inside & out.
For lead scientist, Reed Richards, his body has the ability to elongate & stretch to any length or size at any thought or impulse.
Richards' colleague, & former fiance, Sue Storm has the power to manipulate invisible shields of energy as well as becoming completely invisible herself.
Sue's brother, & pilot of the ship, Johnny Storm has the power of heat & flame & has the ability to place his entire body on fire and fly.
But, for Victor Von Doom things aren't so fantastic. The businessman behind this little science experiment has slowly lost his humanity, as his flesh slowly regenerates into solid steel and with this new power can conduct massive amounts of raw energy, dispensing it through his fingertips.
Reed trys to find a cure for their mutation (Ben being the most eager for him to find one, since he lost his wife), but, as the movie goes along everyone comes to accept their new selves. Von Doom uses his power to exact revenge on Richards (since he lost his girlfriend who went back to Reed, as well as his empire) by destroying The FF. It's up to Reed, Sue, Johnny, & Ben to stop Victor before he kills them, as well as, destroying the city.
"F4" is an okay film, that can't be compared to the "Spider-Man" & "X Men" films. Its more in the league between "Daredevil" & "The Shadow".
The film starts off good, but, once everyone gets their powers the film starts to bog down on whether Reed can find a cure to change them back & whether each person really wants to make that change. Von Doom is threatening to a point, until he starts the formulaic kidnapping of one member to lure the others into the trap (lame).
The good points of the film are early on when each of the lead characters starts to discover their powers. Johnny Storm lends a lot of humor to the movie.
"Fantastic Four" is decent enough for family fare, but, the film falls a little short of it's moniker.

| Fantastic Four was beautiful. Everything about it, excludingg Dr.Doom was almost accurate. I agree some parts of the movie were meaningless or 'rushed' but panned out to be one hell of a sci-fi action flick. The characters were played perfectly by the actors, such as Mr.Fantastic's geekish behaviour potrayed by Ioan Gruffudd, to the cockyness of Johnny Storm played by Chris Evans |

| I think the fantastic four was just that... fantastic.
The plot was great and i loved Johnny. He is so fit. His real name is Chris Evans. Jessica Alba was also stunning. The film had a characteristic way of describing itself ad also had funny bits. I cant believe how people have been slating it. I think it is a FANTASTIC film

| This is a great movie! It is one of the best movies of the year. A great storyline,action special effects,Drama acting and more! It is a very great superhero movie. I went into the theater thinking that it willbe action packed! And it wasnt really. it was a mixture of things. My only complaint is it could of had more action. A scene in the middle and a big scene at the end. But still a great movie. |

| it's the best movie for 2005 or maybe ever!! i've only seen this one and madagascar for this year and they were both great. but this one the best it has everything a movie would need:action,drama,character development.alot of that and how the badguy dies isn't bloody the thing smashes the ground he's standing on,mr. fantastic grabs him and tosses him in the air,human torch sets fire around him and he's caught in a force field by invisible woman and after that everyone cheers.do it's great and of course i don't know why people are angry over a few things that's not in comic books so i have no idea ok? i like all superhero movies (except hulk that one stunk really badly) but i like all the other super heroes movies because they're all the best kind of movies!! mostly because of their powers and characters i never liked super heroes that much because they weren't interesting too much of that saving the wotld junk except i've always loved ninja turtles and that kind of stuff. |
