Title: Fantastic Four
Rating: PG-13 for scenes of intense violence and some suggestive content.
The Story: This summary will be shorter than my last because I'm wanting to do something else AND this at the same time...so here I go.
Fantastic Four is about four, five if you count their...boss guy, astronauts. One of them, Reed, better known as Mr. Fantastic, discovers a star storm type thing that he thinks can cure people with it's radiation.
Of course, he's wrong.
They all go into space and everything that can go wrong, can. It turns out that the storm came sooner than they expected and they didn't have enough time to abort. The storm hits the ship and they all black out.
When they awake again in the hospital, they slowly come to realise that something is really wrong. They each turn into their respective personalities: Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch [who is hilarious, mind you] and The Thing.
Again, I won't say the entire story for those of you who haven't seen this movie. However, I will critique it.
My Critique: Okay, really...this movie was good. I've always been a big fan of Marvel movies and thought that nothing could stand tall with the two Spiderman and X-Men movies. However, this one came pretty darn close.
The only bad thing I have to say about this movie, is Jessica Alba's acting. It was pure crap sometimes. I like to see, when I'm watching an actor on screen, a real character. At times, it seemed like she was just reading her lines, not really feeling them. I think Chris Evans did a great job as The Human Torch. He made a lot of jokes that kept you laughing every now and then.
The effects were pretty good, but I've never actually read any Fantastic Four comics so I'm not sure how it compares to the real thing. I've heard a lot of mixed reactions on this movie, but at least it didn't suck as bad as I've heard The Hulk had.
It was good for a watch, but if you're really into the whole Marvel thing but haven't seen any Marvel movies, which does seem odd, then I'd recommend seeing either of the Spiderman or X-men movies first. They're both WAY better than this, although Fantastic Four didn't have me cringing either.
Final Review: A pretty high 4 out of 5.
