I remember when the 2005 adaptation of the Fantastic 4 came out. It never seemed all that amazing to me at the time, so I didn't even ever think about watching it, at least until Silver Surfer came out. I watched both of them but I wasn't really all that impressed. Jessica Alba though was pretty hot though.
When I saw the trailer for this movie, I thought immediately, "Oh, okay. A reboot. I hope it's good." I was pretty excited, especially since the media was making a pretty big deal about it prior to it's release this past summer. It wasn't until after it's release that I wasn't as excited, but still curious. It took me a while to actually see the movie and come up with my own opinion.
Well, I've seen the movie and all I can say is I love the characters. They really chose a wonderful cast. Doom was perfect and I loved how they made his character out to be a bit of a bad attitude a-hole off the bat. I just wish they showed more character development of him becoming Dr. Doom himself beyond the portal.
Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic, was casted very well. Miles Teller is a magnificent actor and I hope to see more of him in other movies soon, but he really embraced himself as a young Reed. It was almost as if he was made for the part.
Susan Storm, The Invisible Woman, was good as well. Kate Mara fit the part pretty well, she just didn't have too much dialogue and they could have done a lot more with her than they did with her and her brother Johnny.
Johnny Storm, Human Torch, was amazing! Michael B Torch did a wonderful playing the role of this headstrong character. Honestly, I would have never even thought of him as The Human Torch, but he really does pull it off.
Ben Grimm, Thing, was pretty good. He didn't come across a the right guy at first, but as you watch the movie, you see that he does a good job. Also, I love the way Thing actually looks, when compared to the other version of Thing.
The characters were by far the best part. The story could have been better, but it's not bad at all for being an origin story. I hate movies that are meant to be origin movies, and yet jump right into the character right away. The 2005 adaptation did that and I din't like that at all. Same goes with Spiderman. The first one, not the "Amazing" series with Garfield. This movie had a pretty good pace to it for being an origin story and had it's potential, but I guess it was too dark for most people to handle. Plus critics and most people are very stubborn and are always dying for action and CGI. Well, guess what. You get some, but you can't just go into a movie and say it's crap because it lacks a lot of action packed scenes. People really need to grow up and understand what actually makes movies good.
8 out 10 stars for me. Please, actually consider this review and give the movie a chance. Everyone is subject to their own opinion. Go get your own.
