This movie was FANTASTIC!!!!!

I saw this movie yesterday with my friend because I go see all the Marvel movies and I was looking forward to it. Well, I saw it and it was great! I think the thing is that people don't like is because it moves kind of slow with the action because this movie also shows these action heros trying to find and fix the biggest flaws in themselves, with the help of their powers. But that is great....EVERYTHING is great with this movie. Jessica Alba is wonderful and beautiful, Ioan Gruffudd is great, Michael Chiklis is very down to earth as The Thing, and Chris Evans is extremely entertaining as The Human Torch. I very much enjoyed his sense of humor. Well, if you like Marvel movies, I recommend this movie.
