    Fantastic Four

    Rented It.

    Well I thought this was going to be a bomb, but it was kick@$$ for a heavily promoted blockbuster. Honestly I can't say that I followed the F4 comics in depth, but either way it was fun.

    I might even purchase it sometime down the road.

    :35:+ out of :5: ... not quite four stars, but more like 3.75.

    DTS sound to boot with pretty decent quality video as well.

    One of the worst movies of the year. Zero acting, No depth, craptacular story/writing.

    Barely a 1 1/2 out of 5.

      Yeah, I'm definetly in the minority as far as national reviews and public opinion.

      I still enjoyed it though! :T

        I don't mind a little bit of trash now and then, especially if it has the likes of Jessica Alba.

            I also agree with that.

            I thought PQ was also top notch. I guess I wasn't disappointed since I have very low expectations when it comes to super hero movies. It certainly wasn't a good movie, but entertaining.

              We try to find movies Jessica Albasuitable for our boys for rewards and this was one I could take them to. I was ok with the movieJessica Alba, it's not oscar materialJessica Alba, but for a brainless action comic book movie it was fine. The movie flowed fine,Jessica Alba the sound should provide for some nice effects Jessica Alba and the fact that the DVD has DTS Jessica Alba provides some options to play with Jessica Alba as we will likely watch this move several times Jessica Alba.
              IMO

                I'm certainly glad I rented it, it was entertaining, however.

                2 stars out of 5 for PQ and SQ.

                Peace and blessings to everyone during this Holiday Season,

                    Hmmm, I'm having a bad-superhero-Jessic-Alba DVD buying moment. Could this be from a subliminal message implanted in an earlier post? Nah. :nonod:

                    where DID I put that American Express card.........

                      Just watched Fantastic Four today, or as I call it, "Fantastic Jessica and the three other guys". I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. There is no thinking involved here, just Jessica in tons of super hot outfits, lots of super-cool special effects, and fast-paced action but not overbearingly loud like some action movies, and as an added bonus the LFE was in the top 10 in terms of its intensity - it will give the very best of subwoofers a work-out. In fact, its basically a 3 channel movie plus LFE - for some reason not a lot of intense surround sound which served to really isolate the LFE. Michael Chiklis stole the movie in my opinion - he was great as Ben Grimm.

                      On a side note, hands down the hotter Jessica is Alba, not Simpson.

                        hmm, i actually thought jessica alba was one of the reasons the movie was so bad. she just does not fit into the role of sue storm.

                          Hi Vazel, welcome to the Guide. :welcome:

                          Just out of curiousity, who would be your choice to play Sue Storm? FWIW, I'm not crazy about the new James Bond actor, either.

                            thanx for the welcome. nice community on this forum. well someone like charlize theron would've been nice. it's just awkard that they keep casting alba in roles like this trying to pass her off as being white. she reminds me so much of my cousin.

                                Yeah, Chalize would have been much better in that part. I think she could pull those outfits off just as well too..

                                This film reminded me of the Spiderman film structure. Characters and effects seemed much better than those in X-Men with a fast-paced over-the-top storyline. I took it as a comic, so I wasn't expecting tear-jerking performances.

                                  Ah, Charlize is way too big physically (probably taller than all 4 of the other actors) and doesn't have the same pouty lips. I can think only of Angelina Jolie or Jen Garner as a close second for that role. And what an odd response from vazel about "keep trying to pass her off as white".

                                    While Alba looks great, I don't think she matches this profile... :lol:

                                      A fair point!
                                      Bet if they were drawing that cartoon today, she'd look a lot like Alba.

                                              terrible terrible movie.

                                              i was laughing at the plot layout and cheap dialog. and im sorry, alba is cute, and i wouldnt kick her out of bed or anything, but it didnt help at all. she couldnt act in that movie.

                                              BUT, the LFE was good. i just recalibrated my subs and moved them to a different location, and it helped out a lot. its a good sign when during loud passages you feel like you are going to throw up. stuff like that reminds me why i use dual subs

                                                I thought the guy playing Mr. Fantastic was the real weak link. He dragged an already somewhat leaden movie down for me.

                                                      It's annoying when something has so much potential and this is what they do with it, it felt like the production was rushed...I hope they make another and do it right.
