Fantastic Four (DVD)

...of his very humanity. The Fantastic Four is born - and everyone seems to love them. Everyone, that is, apart from Victor Von Doom who believes that Reed Richards has stolen everything that he ever loved. But now he intends to exact his revenge….. After Spiderman, The Fantastic Four was pretty much my favourite comic book. Ever. I loved it. I loved the way the character interacted, from the romantic stability of Reed and Sue through to the ever constant ...
...the film version of The Fantastic Four. Tim Story is respectful and affectionate towards the subject matter, which means that whatever your criticisms might be, he never stomps all over something that millions of people hold dear. When I first watched Spiderman, I remember have a tingle of excitement throughout as I watched the comic book come to life before my eyes, and whilst this sensation was certainly not as strong in The Fantastic Four, at ...

Review of Fantastic Four (DVD)

...was one that featured a Fantastic 4 cartoon, so I was somewhat familiar with the characters and I do like a good fantasy type movie every now and then, so I thought I'd give this a watch. I'm glad I didn't purchase the DVD, it wouldn't have been worth it. - Main Credits (non-actors, which are mentioned further on in the review) - Source:- IMDB (see:-http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120667/fullcredits) Director - Tim Story Written by - Mark Frost and ...

Review of Fantastic Four (DVD)

...my sister. That film was Fantastic Four which I had heard from everybody was rubbish and not as good as the other comic book adaptations. Me I like to not compare films so I watched this one with an open mind and found that I really enjoyed it. ----- What is the film about? (Reading from the back of the box) Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis head a sexy, star-powered cast in this explosive adventure about a quartet of flawed, ordinary ...
...made to be funny. Mr Fantastic being the brains of the group is my favourite as I would like to think I would be thinking about what to do to help everybody in that situation but in reality I would probably be enjoying my powers like fire boy who has some of the best one-liners in the film. The characters though are a bit underdeveloped in this film and you go through the film not really caring about them as there is hardly any character development ...

Review of Fantastic Four (DVD)

I saw Fantastic Four on its cinema release, I don't why I did but morbid curiosity got the better of me. The trailers for the movie were pretty poor and the advance word told of the movie going in a direction not faithful to the original comic book. The only thing I was intrigued by was the thought of The Shield's Vic Mackie playing The Thing. The rest of the cast were bland and Fox had chosen to give a multi-layered comic book romp to the director ...
...no surprises. In fact the Fantastic Four aren't actually fantastic. They cause million of dollars worth of damage and destruction through their own doing but every one around them thinks it's cool. The only person who comes out with any credit is Michael Chiklis as The Thing/Ben Grimm. Director Tim Story should stick to films like Barbershop as there's nothing inspirational here. This has the potential to be as good as Spiderman but instead it's ...

...more. Coming along in 2005, Fantastic Four was arguably scraping the barrel to catch onto the end of the bandwagon (if you'll pardon the mixing of metaphors) and received some rather poor reviews. Personally though I have to say I quite enjoyed it. I'm not a comic book fan and the Fantastic Four are probably less famous than many other Marvel superheroes so, although I'd heard of them, I didn't really know much about them. I can't say whether the ...
...effects and, on that score, Fantastic Four delivers. It'd be wrong to criticise the film for unoriginality or lack of realism. It's about mindless fun and it delivers 106 minutes of action while you eat your popcorn. While I wouldn't expect to watch it again for at least a good while, I was entertained and didn't find it a drag at all. 7/10 if I could.

Fantastic four is about 4 people who embark on an adventure after discovering they have extremely amazing abilities. The story line came from a popular children’s show, however this film caters for all the family. This action packed film provided us with amazing off your seat action. The chosen actors play the characters remarkably, as they bring life to the characters. The special effects are extremely good as they are truly believable. Although ...

Review of Fantastic Four (DVD)

The Fantastic 4 is basically a film about how these 4 superheroes came to be, we start with 4 scientists going into space to research the effects of cosmic radiation and being caught unprotected by the blast. Also at the same time their soon to be arch enemy Dr Doom (the fabulous Nip/Tuck's Julian McMahon) gets caught too and he turns into a very interesting metal type bad guy who can do lots of cool tricks. We end up with four superheroes: Mr ...
...and contract; Invisible Girl who is invisible; Human Torch who is a human, um torch and The Thing which is a big rock-like guy, yes their super powers are pretty rubbish and nothing that has not been seen before. However, the movie is worth a watch to see the superb special effects and the battle they do with the evil Dr Doom. ...

Review of Fantastic Four (DVD)

Remember the old 30s Marx Bros. comedies? The ones with Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo? Classics, right? Anyone remember the plots of those movies? Probably not...because the plots weren't important. The movies were about showcasing the abilities of the leads, while leaving the plot and conflict in the background. That's sort of like what the genre of super-hero movies is like, only the main characters' abilities aren't comedic or musical, they ...
...three or four characters on screen all the time with so much energy that they upstage everything else that would be important in another movie. It is only the director and writer's task to make them interesting, and in "Fantastic Four", Tim Story mostly succeeds at that. This film's super-heroes are Mr. Fantastic, who can stretch at enormous lengths (Iaon Gruffud); The Human Torch, who can burn at the heat of the sun (Chris Evans), The Thing, who ...
