An entertaining movie that does not take itself too seriously, gives a nice introduction to the characters, leaves you wanting more. Special effects were good, especially the Human Torch ‘Flame On’ scenes Plot summary: Five astronauts are bombarded by cosmic rays, though initially they seem un-affected, on return to Earth they all start to display unique powers. Four of the astronauts team up to try to find a solution to their changes, the fifth Victor Von Doom (Julian McMahon) whose company funded the space voyage comes under pressure from his board of directors and as his powers manifest themselves he uses powers to eliminate his enemies. With each abuse of his power it leads to the ultimate climax a fight with the other four effected astronauts. Some nice extras on this DVD, if want a more cost effective option and are not worried about the extras try the 'One disc' versionRead full review
I first saw this film at the cinema and I can tell you it definatly wasn't a waste of money. I was drawn to the film as it stars Julian McMahon who is probably better known as Dr Christian Troy in 'Nip tuck' or Cole Turner in 'Charmed'. After seeing him play a 'demon' in Charmed I wasn't disappointed by his 'bad guy' performance as Victor Von Doom. The basic story line is about a scientist, a sexy secretary, an adrenaline junkie, a roadie and a multi-millionaire who go into space to examine a strange pheomenon which may have been responsible for creating life. Unfortunatly it goes horribly wrong, and the strange light washes over the spaceship. This is how they get their powers. There are a multitude of emotions when they find out they each have special abilites, at first finding it difficult to cope but soon learning it is a gift...for some. This is where their adventure begins. Meanwhile Victor has lost millions due to the failure of the mission and wants to take revenge on those responsible. The rest of the film shows them using their powers (for all sorts of things!) which finally accumliates into a spectacular battle with Victor Von Doom. The film is easy to follow, and not too long which is great for kids as I think it will hold their interest, as well as parents, teenagers and grandparents! You don't have to like comic books (I don't) or even know the story. It leaves the film open to a sequel, which I hope comes out soon. Overall I would say this is a FANTASTIC film (pardon the pun). Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the film.Read full review
Reed Richards is a very talented scientist seeking the funding for a space experiment. Along with his friend and partner Ben Grimm, he goes to businessman Victor Von Doom and manages to get his support. So, Reed and Ben, along with Doom, his partner Sue Storm and her brother Johnny, find themselves aboard Doom's private space station. However an accident will flood the station with cosmic rays and Reed, Ben, Sue and Johnny will gain amazing powers thus becoming the Fantastic Four. But, the four of them aren't the only ones affected by the cosmic rays An excellent movie that will watch many times.
The first film for the Fantastic Four tells the story of how they got their powers. Good film with good special effects
My son is 7 years old and since he was 4 he loves the Fantastic 4. This film is good and is another of the great adventures of the Fantastic 4. I have to say that for me, when I see one I see them all because they are very similar all of them. It is worth it because it keeps you and your children enterteined for 1,30 hrs.
