Fantastic Four
Prepare for the fantastic.
Exposed to the random mutation effect of a experimental machine while in space, designer Reed Richards, his fiançee Susan Storm, and pilots Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm, are torn apart and reformed atom-by-atom. Soon after they return to Earth, they each manifest fantastic superpowers. Richards can stretch his body to inhuman lengths; Susan Storm can become invisible and create force fields; Johnny Storm can ignite his body into living flame and soar through the air; and Ben Grimm's human features have been erased - now he wears the rocky form of a super-strong, invulnerable 'thing'. Outsiders to the human race, the group remain together and try to stop a madman named Doom who wants to reshape the world into his own twisted image.

I did enjoy this movie; funny, smart, and another comic movie that stays rather true. Critcs attacked this movie but I enjoy it. I found the story kept you involved and you started watch spefic characthers. I would watch this movie more than once, it wasn't great, but it was good.Average but Enjoyable - jeremyc
Fantastic 4 takes a lot of heat, but I think its at least partly because it came out around the same time as other comic movies that were much heavier hitters. The plot is average at best, but that is partly necessitated by the origin story. Acting is good but lacks the gravitas of say Alfred Molina in Spiderman 2. Special effects are adequate but could have stepped it up a notch with more money and a few more years. Overall I quite enjoyed it, and bought it... on sale. Worth a watch. Go in with modest expectations and you will probably enjoy it too.A fun movie! - rockmorton
This movie reminds me of the superhero movies from when I was a kid, except the effects are better. You can tell the filmmakers went the "PG" route vs darker fare like "The Dark Knight or "Spiderman 3". Chris Evans was bang on as Johnny Storm. What a fun movie.
