Fantastic Four

Now on DVD          Website: Good          See the Trailer

        Michael Chiklis, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Ioan Gruffudd star as the comic book superheroes. The film appears to stay true to the comic book series, despite rushing into it. A good cast make this movie worth watching, and are complemented by a strong storyline and plot combined with relevant special effects and a seamless soundtrack.

         There are two things to dislike about this film. The first is that a good portion of it is spent watching the characters argue and have tiffs with one another. The second is that although a good portion of the film seems to move along at a good pace, there are parts that simply seem slapped together, possibly because the film makers assume those watching the film are familiar with the characters and their pasts.  The action-packed scenes are well done, but finish quickly, which is rather disappointing.

         All in all, a fun movie to watch.  I do recommend this movie.
