Fantastic Four?

Checked out the latest flick from the pages of Marvel Comics last night. Spoilers Ahead The premise is that five folks get exposed to some cosmic radiation that messes with their DNA and makes them "different." Four of these people become the Fantastic Four. The remaining dude becomes their adversary. Here's the highpoints of the movie: Johnny Storm and the special effects. That's it. The actor who played Johnny, Chris Evans, could easily carry a movie himself. And the special effects with Dr. Doom, and the Fantastic Four powers were pretty cool. And that's where it ends. The relationship between Mr. Fantastic and Sue Storm was tired. The Thing was just kinda there. Dr. Doom came off pretty heartless, but he was nowhere near the villain that Magneto was or the confused genius that Dr. Octopus was. In that sense (the villain sense), he was kinda lame.

The movie moves along pretty quickly and also includes the now obligatory appearence of one Mr. Stan Lee. If you're looking for a fun movie with no substance, this is your movie. If you're looking for a fun movie with substance, go see Batman Begins. This movie gets a "6" on the 10-point scale.
