    Fantastic Four

    Reviewed by

    It's a decent movie with a few unexpected laughs here and there. Its kind of odd to me that the direction of this action-packed superhero movie was given to Tim story, the director of Taxi and the barbershop movie. To me, too many superhero movies have taken that route, of adding comedy to attract kids and compromise an action movie into a semi-family movie for kids between the ages of 9-18. It wouldn't surprise me if the rayings were extremely high for the younger ones but pretty average to bad for the older ones. Dr Doom was nicely made with the metal body alloy but why give him the ordinary voice of the person himself? It seemed almost ridiculous to me. He would have taken so much more credit as a villain with a more computer-generated voice when he puts on the mask ( as was done with Darth Vader) I mean imagine darth vader without his well-publicized voice. He wouldn't seem as scary. I think that more and more, the production firms such as paramount, fox, etc... will have to realize that adding a lot more depth in these comic-book pictures will bring in more appreciation to the pubilc and larger revenues at the box office (as was recently done with batman begins) The word will spread that fantastic four is not that fantastic and merely another movie despite the appearance of the beautifull Jessica Alba on screen. She too has had better roles. The script does not take advantage of the actors full potential all of them having proven themselves much more capable in previous pictures (Jessica Alba : The sleeping dictionarry, Dark angel, Chris Evans : cellular, Ioan Gruffudd : King Arthur, etc. ) Recommended for easy viewing on a DVD night only.
