For all the Fantastic Four fans out there this is a must watch. Very good video effects and great action scenes.
This movie is the origin of the Fantastic Four. There is not much plot, character development or even coherence.
The acting in this is fairly flat ( and that's sad, because Michael Chiklis, at least, is usually excellent ), the CGI work is alright. I loved THE FANTASTIC FOUR when I was growing up, but this movie turned Kirby's magic to cardboard. This edition is good for the insider stuff on Kirby, and that's the only reason I spent the extra bucks, and gave this version three stars instead of two.
Don't listen to what anyone here says bashing this movie. While I wasn't a Fantastic 4 fan from the beginning, this was a fun movie and it made me actually interested in them. Okay, so I'll admit that I mostly saw the movie because my man, Julian McMahon, was in it, but seeing him play the villian is the hottest thing ever!
FANTASTIC 4
The Bottom Line: With terrible acting (exception: Michael Chiklis), terrible special effects, annoying character interaction and a paint-by-numbers plot, Fantastic Four has precious little to recommend it.
I'm actually a humongous fan of Marvel Comics Fantastic Four. From owning a large collection of the comic books to toy hunting for the hard-to-get Invisible Woman action figures.
Of all the superhero movie adaptations released in the last several years, there is one in particular that stands out to me simply because it is so unremarkable. That film is 2005's adaptation of "The Fantastic 4." The characters are one dimensional, and the plot is paper thin. I can sum it up as this: 5 scientists go into space and come back with super powers.
Fantastic Four" hit the big screens in 2005, and is based on the Marvel comic book. Reed Richards is, quite possibly, the most gifted scientist to ever have graduated from MIT.
As franchises go, Fantastic Four is relatively unexplored territory. There are probably good reasons for this: one of the characters is a cigar-chomping piece of rock, three members of the team are related to each other, and one of character's claim to fame is his amazing intellect combined with...wait for it...the power of STRETCHING.
