Seems to have an X-Men feel to it.
(Well duh, what with them both being Marvel comics)

The Thing looks awesome. Chiklis was the perfect choice.

So Far So Good! However I can not comment until I see the Pics of Doctor Doom. Hopefully they do not butcher the look of the classic character.

I have already seen the Fantastic Four pictures and I think they are all fascinating.

Never been a fan of the FF, but I do like the Ultimate FF comic (sorry Netty!) and the costume design and general info I've seen indicates they are going closer to that version of the comic.

So far so good, and Marvel seems to know how to treat their properties!

I hope the movie will turn out ok! I actually heard a rumor that the Human torch wont be consumed in fire! He'll only have in on his hands! I hope this isnt true! P.s. Cast choices are perfect!

Its not true, that was an old rumour when they first started to talk about making a film. The actor playing The Human Torch has said he will be fully flamed up and he is practising wire work for his flight scenes.

I just watch Fantastic Four and it was awesome!!!!
I would give it a rate of 8.5 out of 10.
I been a Fantastic Four fan since I was 10.
The movie was way better then the comic book.

Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis and Julian McMahon played their characters very well. :D

Micheal Chiklis = The Thing!!!!! :wink:

Note: Fantastic Four made $20 million on it's first day!!!!!

7/10

Much better than I expected it to be. It pales in comparison when stacked next to X2, Spider-Man 2 and Batman Begins, but it's a masterpiece when compared to piffle like Batman & Robin or Catwoman.

I really enjoyed the family dynamics and conflicts between the F4, before and after they're changed. Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis were just a riot when arguing and playing pranks on one another. Ioan Gruffudd was good too, although his character's powers aren't put to the test as much as Elastigirl in The Incredibles. Jessica Alba is solid as well, but her character just didn't capture my attention like the other three F4 members. Julian McMahon just seemed to reprising a more sanitized version of his surgeon character on Nip/Tuck and just seemed to be more brooding than menacing. (Kerry Washington was good too, but her character was underused.)

I didn't mind the relative lack of action sequences, but the two set-pieces that do happen are well-staged and quite exciting, notably the one on the bridge. The payoff for the final battle was kind of anticlimatic, but that's a minor quibble. Really, I don't see why critics are lambasting it, it doesn't attempt to top the other superhero flicks. It was a lighthearted flick that focused on the value of family more than dark atmosphere. Tim Story has a good reason to be proud of this movie.

I thougt Fantastic Four was awesome, 3rd best Comic book movie this year.
1. Batman Begins
2. Sin City
3. Fantastic Four
4. Elektra
But it would be in my top 10 for the year. I will get this on DVD the day it comes out. I rate it a 4 out fo 5 star. They also left it open for a sequal.
