I saw the Fantastic Four on Friday night and I really liked it. The three things that really made this a good movie were the pace, the special effects and the actors.
Many things were changed from the original comic books but how could you integrate Doom's WWII roots into a 2-hour story flow? Instead we get a pace where we meet the principle actors then BAM - they are in space. Just as quickly they are back on Earth and they discover their powers. All-in-all the movie flows along at a quick pace and the 2-hours pass in a blink of the eye.
The special effects were superb. The effects used for Johnny Storm and Mr. Fantastic were particularly good.
As soon as I learned they were making this film - I started wondering about the casting. The final cast though was excellent. All were very believable. I've been a fan of Ioan Grufford since his playing of Horatio Hornblower. Michael Chiklis and Julian McMahon steal the show with their roles as the Thing and Dr. Doom. Chris Evans was perfect as the Human Torch and Jessica Alba has wonderful breasts.
The movie compares very favorably to Batman Begins which had higher peaks than F4 but also had more slow time than F4.
