Finally Seen It

Ah yes, the original unreleased Fantastic Four feature length film. I have recently seen this film and having read about the story and happenings behind it I couldn't help but feel impressed with what the filmmakers were able to do with such a small budget. I know it wasn't that great, but with what these poor fellows had to work with, I believe they did quite an amazing job. I'm just happy I was finally able to see such a film rarity and what they were able to do. The acting wasn't the greatest, the computer effects were, well, pretty rough but the writing wasn't too bad and, maybe its just me, but i was impressed with the things suit. I thought it looked good. Foam, rubber, I have no idea but it looked pretty nifty. Also with the new version having been released one wonders, what one is indeed the superior film?
