It was REALLY bad.

If you're entertained by awful filmmaking like I am, you'll love it.

Otherwise Jessica Alba being totally hot is the only possible reason to see this.

if you've paid to see Fantastic 4, you probably deserve to have an experience like that

Oh I was fully expecting it to be crappy. It didn't let me down.

I actually enjoyed it. I thought it was better than X-Men 1 and 2 and the first Spider-man.

what's the pg-13 rating for?

I really don't know. There were a few minor curse words and a few minor sexual innuendos but nothing major. The violence wasn't as severe as other movies.

It wasn't any worse than all the other Marvel comics they have made into movies.

I'm glad I didn't read any of the reviews ahead of time because I really enjoyed it. Sure, it's not as good as Batman Begins, but F4 is more suitable for kids, lots of fun, and well cast. I look forward to the sequel.

Otherwise, it was pretty campy stuff.

Hey, people, it's a frickin super-hero movie. It was unbelievable and the dialogue was hockie, but it was fun, lots of fun. They did have to spend a lot of time establishing origins. Maybe on the next movie they can do a bit more arse kickin'.

Looks like crap, wont see it.

Bring on Captain America!!

No they didn't. They went to space and got irradiated. Boom. Superpowers.

Does anybody have pics of Her?

Where would you rank this movie in the Marvel movie line?

Spiderman 1 & 2
X-Men 1 & 2
Fantastic Four
Incredible Hulk
Daredevil

Am I missing any?

Electra and The Punisher (I have seen neither)

Captain America does rock, but so far, they have really done him wrong in their attempts to do him in film. I would like to see a throwback-retro approach that takes him back to WWII where he started. That could be lots of fun.

Also, I would freak at a movie version of Thor. With the whole Norse setting, you could make a fantastic film.

And this movie was way better than Daredevil or that piece of organic stuff called The Hulk.

Still, I liked the 4, and look foward to bringing back Dr. Doom and maybe introducting the SubMariner.

Blade is a Marvel franchise, too.

I haven't seen Hulk (not a fan), Elektra or Blade: Trinity, so I'd rank them like this:

Spidey 1
Spidey 2
X-Men 2
X-Men 1
Blade
Fantastic Four
Blade 2
Daredevil

Saw F4 last night. There were good things and bad things about it.

Good:
-Alba's cleavage (and she showed it a lot)
-Chiklis as the Thing (I actually liked rubber suit costume and his performance was spot-on)
-Chris Klein as the Torch. Him and Chiklis were the best things about the film.
-the explanation of their suits was pretty cool.
-I'm glad they included Alicia Masters in it.

Bad:
-Alba's acting
-the guy who was Mr. Fantastic was badly miscast. He has an accent that he tried hard to hide. It was very distracting. Also, they wrote him as a bumbling awkward nerd.
-Doom was completely wrong and the actor cast as him was wrong. He was written as a billionaire pretty boy with a financial power-lust who, for some unknown reason, turns evil. It didn't make any sense. However, they got the costume and mask right.

As a comic-book fan, I picked it apart but still had a decent time. My wife, however, thought it was great. Probably because she didn't know about the characters before hand (and didn't know that Dr. Doom doesn't have any super powers!!!)

Ranking the Marvel movies:

Spiderman 2
X-Men 2
The Hulk
Spiderman 1
Fantastic 4
Blade
Blade 2
X-Men 1
The Punisher
Daredevil

So, F4 is pretty much in the middle: not bad, but not great.
