Fantastic four - movie - Reviewby yours truly !

[SSJKarma]

it started yesterday when my parents asked me if i wanted to see the movie with them at the theater !

as i am a big fan of marve| i decided to see what it could be like to be the fantastic four. by the trailers i wasn't so much enjoying their traduction in french it seemed like the charcaters were gay or something. anyway from what everybody were telling me that moview would suck balls and wouldn,t be such a sucess... i can truly tell them now... they were wrong !

let's start with the characters themselves...
MR FANTASTIC : just like he is int he books, cannot take a decision lightly and always is rationnal unless it is about his girl. and even there he never really gives in to his emotions. he's good with his friends and would gladly give his life for them.

THE THING : truly the actor had his way and knew exactly where to go with that character. he was mad, mad at people, just like the real thing. he acted it truly well. the chacter isn't bad yet he rages against the people rages against his own cursed appearance. fro those who love THE THING they will truly be in love with this one.

INVISIBLE WOMEN : Truly great, played by that girl from DARK ANGEL series, she truly knew how to act her as well... thought i thnk the original character wasn't like that at all, i thnk it wasn't all that bad. she was greatly emotionnal and it goes well with the character itself and she was far from capable of doing all her stuff without anything hapenning all the times... she used her powers but almost always feels tired after it ! in any case she seemed like the weakest link of all the FANTASTIC FOUR. yet she's the one who kept an eye on the road all the times.

HUMAN TORCH : man, if ya wanna see the movie then this character is truly the reason to see the movie. just like the real human torch in the books, always thinking things happens for a reason, unlike the others he from the starts thought having powers were cool and that if that accident in space had given em them, then there was a reason for it. never has disliked his powers. always making fun of the others (his friends) yet he always repected them. truly that kid was the the biggest attraction of the movie.

DR VICTOR VON DOOM : even thought the translation from eglish changed his name from DOOM to FATALIST. people will see vicotr has they always wanted him to be. unfortunetly the story takes quite a while before you see him in armor and all. it actually happen at the complete end and it doesn't stay like that very long. yet it prooved to be the best dr doom i ever seen. even 4 against him, he still is capable of fighting them off all together !



ok next stop is the story itself...
kinda stupid at first, once in space it doesn't gets better. its when they get there powers that starts to get interesting. seeing them deals with it is very cool and the way it happens is funny. what i like the most is that unlike the other super heroes. the fantastic four doesn't hide, they used their powers in public.

the story isn't that bad once it has started but i think it could have been pretty much better then that. yet is still a good story.



onto the special effects now...
well what can i say...the human torch is well made... mr fantastic is trully greatly made, those who seen elasto girl in the incredibles will see the same kind of deal here and even thought it is made by computer you'll see that it is greatly made. the only thing that wasn't made that greatly was THE THING... he is made out of rock yet you can easily see that it isn't rock that covers his body and you easily see that it is nothing more then a costume.

conclusion... the movie is great, way better then what the trailers have shown up to now. for those telling me the movie sucked, i say... go see it first, you'll see that some movies made by marve| sucked way greater then that one.

the effects have stopped the flow at one point, but it is still good to see the characters live ont he screen and greatly acted by actors who truly captured the essence of the books !

if i had the cash, i would go see it again in theater !

hope you enjoyed this review as much as i did writing it.
see you next marve| movies guys !

You still go with your parents to the movies?

Very disappointed by the movie.

SPOILER!!
SPOILERS AHEAD!!




How dumb was it when Thing got his powers removed after Reed created the simulation to reverse the effects but then Thing went back into it and got his powers back!? You would expect the powers they were given in space to be a phenomena glitch that was one out of a trillion but Reed recreated it which means that device in his home can give anyone unique individual super powers... That just made the Fantastic Four seem.. so un-Fantastic and anybody could acquire them if given the oppurtunity to step in.

That whole thing just took everything special from them. The Thing was perfectly human again, got bitched by Doom, and then decided he needed back in the loop and so he got his powers back. WEAK. I guess now, with that girlfriend he has at the end, he'll be stepping into that device so he can make love to her and then he step in it again to be the Thing and answer the call of duty... but having that device lingering around is only gonna hurt them... Oh look at me, I busting out potentential sequal material here.

And the finale... so cheesy. So simplistic... utterly dull. Doom got abused. The poorly casted actors were a bore. And Doom, when he spoke through that mask it sounded like he was in a recording studio. There was no muffling of his voice through that mask (like there should be). They could've altered the voice a bit through the mask because the actor himself does not have a menacing voice. Doom's voice wasn't more intimidating than Strawberry Shortcake's. When you see Doom in the mask and hear him speak you'll feel like something is a miss.

Anyway, I'm done ranting. Hopefully no one else will waste their money on this garbage and just be patient until this comes on TV in almost 2 years (not even worth renting).

[quoteost_uid0="Virtual Fighter"]You still go with your parents to the movies?[/quote]
:laugh: ....... VF Im astonished that you do not see that going to the movies with your parents is a great idea. I mean there are two good reasons why you should go to the movies with your parents. One reason being is that they can pay for the entire trip... Another reason being you and your family can share a great moment in time together witch to keep in your memories after you or they pass away. Though all these reasons are good... There are some down-sides to this and well since this forum is meant for all ages I'll keep it at that ...

[Restavega]

Very true, Zpower. He probably doesn't see parents as being cool to go to the theaters with because his parents aren't cool. It's a shame, really.

Unfortunately for me, I did see this "movie" even though I said I wouldnt. However, it was beneficial that I did not pay to see it, but rather watched a downloaded version my friend had, mainly because I would have wasted my money.

This film is far from fantastic in every aspect. Naturally it's the first 'Fantastic 4' film, and hopefully the last. Being it's the first they explain everything about how they get their powers, and what their powers can do..pretty much for the entire film. Now call me old-fashioned, but it would seem like if your entire existence changed, and you now had a superpower, such as you could "burn at supernova temperatures" or you were a rip-off of stretch armstrong, then you would probably become excited and be amazed by your powers as well as be curious and full of mystery. Well, that would probably happen in any other film except this one, because these people dont seem to care that they're completely different, its as if its no big deal to them. It's like "Oh, would ya look at that, I can now turn invisible, Hmm, nifty. Whatever, what's on Dr. Phil"

So unless your a hardcore fanboy like Karma who confuses himself so much that he is capable of seeing a good film through the tunnels of crap, then avoid this movie.
If your looking for a superhero film, go watch Batman Begins, at least it tells a logical story and ties everything together at the end.

LMFAO :laugh:

well, i only really like torches jokes...that's pretty much all

A shame indeed..., I was also very disappointed in this movie as well. Thank goodness I didn't waste any of my money on it.
