Review of Fantastic Four (2005) by Theelusivepossom — 29 Aug 2005
You have to take a film like Fantastic Four with a pinch of salt, because it is what it is: an FX-laden, cheesy-line-riddled action-fest. In terms of depth, it's on a par below X-men and Spiderman, swapping multi-dimensional character presentation and believable plights with tighter costumes and firmer buttocks; perhaps a fair trade? The film reflects the powers of its heroes well: it seems hot at first, but soon requires huge stretches of imagination, resulting in a plot that is rocky, and at times invisible.
The extent to which The Thing's wife harshly breaks of their marriage based on his new image is ridiculous. Otherwise, the film manages to hold your interest for as long as it lasts, but culminates in a dire conclusion (it hurts to compare the final epic battle of this film and any other super-hero flick, it really does).
Just about worth seeing, but everyone will anyway.
