You're right. For Fantastic Four, you have to have your expectations REALLY LOW!

Overall this movie is ok. I came out of the theater kind of disappointed. I know some of you are saying that everyone is going in with too high of a expectation and therefore that ruin the movie for them...but can you blame them? this is suppose to be a big summer movie and is advertise in that way. i mean i expected a lot out of batman begin and that movie fullfilled me in everyway...war of the world was ok to me but even it fullfilled me.

i thought acting-wise, everyone did a great job. i really thought the guy who played johnny storm/human torch did a tremedous job.

so i think the problem with the movie is behind the camerca...well except special effects. special effect, to me, was ok. it wasnt the best but it wasnt bad enough to ruin the movie experience. but i totally agree with CD's review about the director. the shooting is flat. it's like someone just tells tim story to shoot this movie and he does but puts no effort it to it...he just gets the job done. i guess what im saying is it lacks style. someone mentioned music was kind of awkward too. i agree. i thought at some part it could have been a lot more dramatic. there should have been better music to set better mood. i wanted to be engage in this movie like batman or war of the worlds but nothing let me to become engage with the character and the situation of the movie. the script/story could have been a lot better too. everything seems way to simplistic. i think even some of disney's cartoons are more complex than this movie.

but yeah not all was bad. some part i thought was really funny...especially the interaction between johnny storm and ben grimm. action scenes were entertaining.

but i see a lot of potential for this movie. i think with a different director the sequel could be really good.

i went with a group of friends. those who knew of the comics were disappointed. those who didnt have a clue of who the fantastic 4 were liked it. i dont know if that tell you anything but yeah that's my two cents.

I give it 7/10 but i hope they do much better for the 2nd one and put in Galactacus and redo the Thing like they could just say that his body was fully forming.

so u already came into the movie with negative approach since you arent an F4 fan.

it's a valid opinion never the less. so if a non-fan gave the movie a 6-7 out of 10, then imagine how the fan will see it

good review. a much valued opinion as far as im concerned

I saw this movie on Saturday and I thought it was just OK. It had its moments don't get me wrong, but overall it was just OK.

Personally I couldn't buy Alba as Sue, I just kept seeing her as every character she's played before. It was also hard to buy Sue and Johnny as brother and sister, there really was no sibling relationship played out between the two. I mean there was much more of a sibling relationship between Johnny and Grim and they aren't even related. Though she looked unbelievable in the costume and in some other scenes.

As for Ioan, I thought he did a good Richards, he played the know way too much about everything role pretty well. Thats actually one of the reasons why I don't like the FF comics, but he had it down. Though the special stretching effects looked terrible, but I have always said no matter how good the special effects are it will always look bad.

Chiklis I thought did a good job, and the Thing was written well. Almost everything about the Thing was done well, except for the make-up. I liked the statuette that the company came up with( click here ) but the movie's actual result just looked like a guy in foam rubber.

Chris Evans did a spectacular job as the Torch and the relationship between him and the Thing was great. However I thought the special effect on him were a bit off but I still think they were good because I am aware that doing fire with CGI is one of the more difficult effects you can do.

And finally Julian McMahon was an awsome villian, I just didn't like the fact that they made him a billionare and have no diplomatic immunity, but hey what are ya going to do?

Overall I give it a 6, maybe a 7 out of 10. I don't think its in the caliber of The X-men, Spider-man, and Blade franchises, its more of a movie fans of the comic could truly appreciate like Daredevil and Hulk(both I happened to think were OK too, but still bought lol).
