In this thrill-filled live-action Marvel Comics adaptation, director Tim Story ('Barber Shop') balances comedy, romantic intrigue, special effects, high action, and even scientific...
more...trivia for a rounded 'Fantastic Four'. Here, Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Human Torch, and The Thing come together on a space mission that goes wrong. The ship's owner - who later transforms into evil Doctor Doom - refuses to abort the mission during a solar storm, which electrifies the ship and its entire crew, causing radical changes to their DNA. Back on earth, the transformed 'heroes' adjust to their new powers, which are specific to their personalities. Mister Fantastic, who lacks assertion, has stretchy limbs of rubber. Invisible Woman, who loves Fantastic but thinks he can't see her for who she really is, does a disappearing act. The Human Torch, an immature guy who is brimming with energy, can burst into flames. And finally, The Thing, a great friend who is as solid as a rock, actually turns into one - and loses his wife due to his weighty disposition. Holing up in Fantastic's scientific lab where they run experiments on themselves in hopes of changing back to normal, the crew learns that Doctor Doom - who is so power hungry that he turns into metal and is able to conduct electrical currents - poses a serious threat. The heroes quickly master their abilities and channel their scientific smarts for one truly fantastic five-way face-off. Visually, action sequences give way to tranquil interludes such as the New York City skyline with the Fantastic's lab glowing atop a skyscraper, while plot-wise, the interplay between the characters brings a human element to the film, with some touching moments from The Thing. At the end, a door is left open for what could be a super sequel.

Good Evans Kicks Up A Storm
Review of Fantastic Four DVD by LostWitness

Advantages: Chris Evans. Naked.
Disadvantages: Bit superficial

...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 ... Read review

Fantastically lags story wise
Review of Fantastic Four DVD by IzzyS

Advantages: Some good special effects and CGI
Disadvantages: Too slow, not enough of a story, lost interest before the end

...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 ...

What Would my Special Power be?
Review of Fantastic Four DVD by katygriff

Advantages: Fun, Entertaining and a Laugh.
Disadvantages: Plot and Character Holes

...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, ... Read review

A Fantastic Bore
Review of Fantastic Four DVD by utero

Advantages: Some nice effects
Disadvantages: Lame script, They ruin Dr Doom, Incredibly stupid

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 ... Read review

Not Fantastic, But Four Stars (film only)
Review of Fantastic Four DVD by a-true-ben

Advantages: Flashy effects, mindless fun, slight 'human' touch to storyline
Disadvantages: Not exactly original, no attempt at scientific credibility

...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 ... Read review

Not believable in any way, but fun, and not boring
Review of Fantastic Four DVD by laura24uk

Advantages: an ok film
Disadvantages: .

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 ... Read review

Fantastic 4
Review of Fantastic Four DVD by xx-baby-davies-xx

Advantages: amazing storylines
Disadvantages: disappointing ending

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 ... Read review
