    Finally brought myself to watch the whole movie. I do like some film versions of comic books, but this one is really not the best among them. It was predictable, the story was so simple it got boring and the characters did not really draw me in.

    I won't give it a dislike because the effects are pretty good (and Chris Evans is pretty funny) and it's alright if you watch it once - but it's definately NOT a movie I'd watch again or recommend.

    Quite often movies that get slagged off by comic book fanboys turn out to not actually be so bad. Not this time. Utterly woeful. 11 years 6 months ago

    15+ years of mishandling the Fantastic Four in movies has really destroyed their cred with with general audiences, and it really starts with the 2005 movie. Is it that bad? Well, yes and no. It did manage to spawn a sequel after all. I would say its greatest sin how it decides to do Doctor Doom. Here we have the Marvel Universe's best villain and still they decide to toy around with the concept. He eventually LOOKS like Doom, but he's no Doom. Before he has powers, he's Lex Luthor, and after he does, he's merely a physical threat. It lacks the necessary grandeur (the Marco Polo scene is a low point). Otherwise, the cast isn't bad, but more than an hour in, characters are still trying to figure out what their powers are and we're a long way away from the superhero plot. Mostly, the FF fight among themselves. Normally, I don't like them doubling up on villains, but if Doom is going to take his time showing up, why not throw Mole Man into the mix? As is, the team gets applause mostly for solving problems they themselves caused (the bit on the bridge where they make Sue undress so she can... what exactly?). Still early days for superhero movies, and though it's bright and colorful, you can still feel the film makers' malaise about the source material. 40+ years of comics can't have been wrong, guys. 3 years ago
