Pretty good movie, not a classic, but nonetheless a good movie. Basically it centers around Ben Grimm (The Thing) as far as transforming him back to human form. The Brooklyn Bridge scene was real nice. Johnny Storm is a funny mofo. Stan Lee makes a cameo. Special effects were nice. IMO 4/5 stars.
***SPOILER***
It was not based on a true story :D lol
-
I hope Jessica Alba gets butt nekkid
-
She's in bra/panties for a second on the bridge scene.
-

TV2 Norway: "Fantasticly wack"
Filmsinreview: "So horrible that it takes points from Batman Begins"
New York Times: "Dumb, big, despicable"
Efilmcritic: "Worse than Batman & Robin. Everybody in this movie should be ashamed for comparing the movie to other movies"
St. Paul Pioneer Press: "It's hard to see if the actors are horrible, or just the script"
Three Movie Buffs: "Fantastisk flop"
Los Angeles Times: "Looks more like a bad comedy series than a real movie"
Roger Ebert: "This movie should be ashamed of being showed in cinemas"
Philadelphia Inquierer: "If you want to see how a family of superheroes live, rent The Incredibles (cartoon), forget about this one.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The latest superhero movie may have been just fantastic enough to snap Hollywood's longest modern losing streak at the box office.
The comic-book adaptation ``Fantastic Four'' raked in $56 million during its first three days, apparently helping to end a swoon in which domestic movie revenues had been down 19 weekends in a row compared to last year's.
The top 12 films took in $141 million, up 2.25 percent from the same weekend in 2004, according to industry estimates Sunday. Numbers often drop slightly when studios release final figures Monday, but this past weekend still should come in ahead of last year's, said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations.
``It took four superheroes to end this slump, and Hollywood is grateful,'' Dergarabedian said. ``Comic-book movies, if properly marketed, are exactly what mainstream audiences want to see in their summer movies.''
The movie bumped the previous weekend's top film, ``War of the Worlds,'' into second place with $31.3 million. ``War of the Worlds'' raised its 12-day domestic total to $165.8 million.
``Fantastic Four'' far surpassed industry projections of an opening weekend of $40 million or less. 20th Century Fox, which released the film, had expected a debut ``in the high 30s,'' said Bruce Snyder, the studio's head of distribution.
Based on the Marvel Comics series that debuted in the early 1960s, ``Fantastic Four'' stars Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis and Chris Evans as astronauts who gain superpowers after exposure to a cosmic storm.
If Sunday's estimate holds, it would come in ahead of the opening weekend of fellow Marvel adaptation ``X-Men,'' which debuted in 2000 with $54.5 million. Marvel's first ``Spider-Man'' movie had a record opening weekend of $114.8 million in 2002.
Unlike the well-reviewed ``Spider-Man'' and ``X-Men'' films, ``Fantastic Four'' overcame a drubbing by critics, with some calling it a lightweight tale with a sitcom tone.
While Hollywood appeared to have ended its downturn of 19-straight weekends, movie revenues remain in the doldrums. Revenues this year are running 7 percent behind last year's, and factoring in higher ticket prices, admissions are off 10 percent.
Revenues may continue to sag in the coming weeks compared to this time last year, when such hits as ``I, Robot,'' ``The Bourne Supremacy'' and ``The Village'' had huge opening weekends in July and early August.
Johnny Depp and Tim Burton's ``Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'' is expected to do big business this weekend. Other movies coming this month and next include the remake ``The Bad News Bears,'' the action films ``The Island'' and ``Stealth,'' the comedy ``Wedding Crashers'' and ``The Dukes of Hazzard.''
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at North American theaters, according to Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. Final figures will be released Monday.
1. ``Fantastic Four,'' $56 million. ;D
2. ``War of the Worlds,'' $31.3 million.
3. ``Batman Begins,'' $10.2 million.
4. ``Dark Water,'' $10.1 million.
5. ``Mr. and Mrs. Smith,'' $7.85 million.
6. ``Herbie: Fully Loaded,'' $6.3 million.
7. ``Bewitched,'' $5.5 million.
8. ``Madagascar,'' $4.3 million.
9. ``Rebound,'' $2.9 million.
10. ``Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith,'' $2.6 million.

2 Film Remakes and 1 TV Remake. Wow. then the gay ass Stealth which looks like a fucking joke with the story that has been told over 1000 times. The Island is all out action i guess thats alright for the summer and the Wedding Crashers seem good.
-
Previews look lame to me...I'll wait for DVD rental.
-
I know somone that saw a sneak preview of The Island and he said it was pretty good. That and the wedding crashers are the only movies that interest me.....oh and maybe dukes of hazzard depending on how much jessica simpson is on screen ;D
-
gonna go see it this week, hope its good.
-
seen it twice.. its an origin movie, so the movie is going to be about how they become the fantastic four. its great! altho ive read the comics for around the last 15 years
only thing i disliked about it was about how doom became doom.. other than that, it's pretty good. better than spiderman/spiderman 2, xmen/xmen 2..
-
They played the King Kong trailer before 4 started...looks reaaaaaaaaaal boring, I liked it better when it was called Jurassic Park ::)

lol thats just to funny, i never seen reviews kill off a film like that befo........
the norway one is funny as fuck............fantasitically WACK, hahaha never would have expected some shit like that

Hmm. I'm not the harshest film critic, and I'm not an expert on the FF, but I liked it. I thought it was well done, and I didn't have a problem honestly with anything from the whole fucking movie. It all made sense (in a superhero way) and it had a pretty decent storyline going. The only thing maybe that didn't work was the romance between Reed and Summers was non-existant, they didn't have any chemistry.
-
This movie was :-\
-
Anyone interested in superheroe-movies should just watch The Incredibles. Those animation movies shit over most others.
