When a space voyage goes wrong, four astronauts DNA are dramatically changed by Cosmic radiation exposure to become the Fantastic Four. To be honest my kids enjoyed this movie a lot more than I did.
I love SF movies. I often search for bargains all over the world and this one was verry cheap.Including shipment it was still much cheaper than in Holland.
I have been a collector of Marvel Comics since the age of about ten - my favourite superheroes being the X-Men. But despite my fondness for mutants, it was the Fantastic Four who first drew me into the world of super powered beings and I have always held a high regard for the family oriented super team. However, after hearing of a new Fantastic Four movie in the offing, I was a little worried, to say the least. After all, one F.F. movie had already gone the way of the dodo. However, the success of two X-Men movies gave me heart and I awaited the new F.F. movie with anticipation. And so to the movie itself. Okay, it has its faults - what movie doesn't? - but these are all relatively minor. Of course, the F.F's origin had to change - building a rocket and persuading your closest friends to help fly it just wouldn't fit with today's audiences. Reed seems a bit younger than his comic book counterpart, Johnny a bit older, and Ben should probably look a bit rockier, but these are just minor grievances compared to the movie's good points. Julian McMahon looks awesome as Victor Von Doom, exuding a quiet menace and almost acting everyone else off the screen. The bickering between Ben and Johnny is spot on and harks back to the early days of the comic book F.F. Comic buffs should be well pleased with the scene involving Ben, Johnny, a feather duster and a handful of shaving cream! A true laugh out loud moment! But, for me, the best part of this movie is actually seeing the F.F. in action. The special effects are amazing here, truly bringing the Four's unique powers to life. As a longstanding fan, what a rush it is to see the Torch flame on and blaze across the sky! I would have liked to see the team using their powers more, but hopefully this will be rectified in the up and coming sequel. I am sure this movie won't appeal to everyone, but comic fans should be well pleased with the finished result, as the movie really has tried to capture the spirit and feel of the comic book team. I am looking forward now to the sequel. It will be interesting to see what can be done when there is no setting up of the main characters to be done. All the groundwork has been done in the first movie, so maybe more action will be in the offing, with a quick introduction of the main villain. Galactus, anyone?! Now that will be a sight to see!!Read full review
The first time I saw this film I would have only labelled this as average, but when i saw it again last week I simply loved it. Great fight scenes and great special effects. Watch this when you get a chance. Plot - When an experimental space voyage goes awry, four people are changed by cosmic rays. Reed Richards, inventor and leader of the group gains the ability to stretch his body, and takes the name, Mr. Fantastic. His girlfriend, Sue Storm, gains the ability to turn invisible and create force fields, calling herself the Invisible Woman. Her younger brother Johnny Storm gains the ability to control fire, including covering his own body with flame, becoming the Human Torch. Pilot Ben Grimm is turned into a super-strong rock creature calling himself Thing. Together, they use their unique powers to explore the strange aspects of the world, and to foil the evil plans of Doctor Doom.Read full review
