FANTASTIC 4(2005)

This is a pretty good superhero movie, well worth
watching at least once in a while! The only real
drawback that I see in this movie is the main character
playing Reed Richards(Ioan Gruffudd) is really weak
in this! Too bad too, because other than that this
woulda been a great movie!! B+

From IMDb.com:

This is one of those movies where you can tell that
all they needed was just one more draft of the screenplay
written to get it right. If they had done this, I definitely
think this film could be deserving of a 7/10, but as it is,
it's a 5/10.

The biggest problem is that the odds are so uneven,
we have four heroes, but only one villain. Hardly fair.
Another villain should've been included to even out
the odds a little, or perhaps just give Dr. Doom an
arsenal of robots that he could use to combat the
Fantastic Four. Granted, Doom probably is the most
powerful character in the film, but four slightly less
powerful beings fighting against him still makes it
seem an overly one-sided match.

The second problem is the execution of the comedy.
Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love a sense
of humor in superhero films, and I don't care for
hyper-serious ones with no self-awareness, superhero
films of which type have been getting more prominent
over the past few years. But the issue in Fantastic
Four is that so much of the comedy is just done
poorly, all this bad humor culminating in a horrific
montage.

The film definitely has positive qualities, all the
characters are very well-cast, especially Michael
Chiklis and Chris Evans. The visual effects are also
a treat, the uses of each character's superpower is
very well-done and the sequence in space where
the characters gain their abilities is very cool.

Overall, mediocre. Not terrible, but not good either.
The sequel was definitely better. - jokerswild1
