Colourful, cartoony but ultimately quite camp, this comic-book adaptation successfully swings for a slightly younger audience and maintains a lighter tone throughout whilst remaining relatively true to the source material and being consistently passively entertaining. There's a nice mix of CGI (now pretty dodgy but fairly convincing for the time) and practical effects, and the team-work theme hadn't been done to death when 'Fantastic Four (2005)' was fist released so it provided a satisfying conclusion when the Four finally fully came together to defeat the enjoyably hammy villain. Though it has its share of under-cooked moments that make little sense and may make you roll your eyes, it's never so bad as to cause offence and remains a somewhat decent, if forgettable, experience. 5/10

OK. It was not for OSCAR but I enjoyed (I repeat " I ", ME) the film and I had a good time with lot of pop corn.

I loved the first Superman but I was 9, so, you know. If you don't count that, this is the first superhero flick I really loved and I still love it. F4 has an excellent cast, great eye candy, awesome FX, terrific action AND it's laugherin' time.The remake of this was just an insult. It was so bad I fell asleep in the theater before I could see the CGI Thing. I've never attempted a re-watch. This version, however, I can still watch yearly.

It's a nice movie I suppose. Seen through a younger viewers eyes this movie appears to be more awesome,and has good special effects for its time. Seen through an adults eyes this movie was just average, Jessica Alba however was not average, seeing her in tights makes this movie very watchable.... I do think movies like this are fine, not all superhero films have to be overly serious,well acted and violent. The audience for movies like Fantastic 4 are out there.The characters personalities stay true to the comic book and thats very important.I've seen this movie 3 times and I'm not a fan of seeing movies more than once usually.Fun silly movies will do this to me.
