"Bring your telescopes, bring your imaginations. And above all, have fun".

This film has acquired a new-found topicality due to the recently shelved version of 'Batgirl'. Roger Corman was one of the executive producers on this notorious quickie on which every expense was spared, and would probably have produced something much more substantial in the fifties or sixties. But but at least it's short, although even then an inordinate amount of time is squandered on the antics of a minor villain resembling a pint-sized Freddy Kruger.

It takes over seventy-five minutes before the Four finally get to wear their costumes just in time to include in the publicity material; the rationale for their transformation resembling the solving of one of Riddler's riddles. While the film's grasp of physics is decidedly shaky since Sue Storm doesn't just become invisible but completely vanishes, as a pair of gun-toting goons discover to their cost.
