Fantastic Four starts out with our super hero team leader Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) and his best friend, Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis) approaching the very rich Victor Von Doom (Julian McMahon) about a project. Reed wants to work on Victor’s space station to study the effects of cosmic rays on living material. Victor’s deal gives him 75% of the potential revenue. Reed agrees because he is in it for humanity. The two others jointing the trip are Victor’s assistant, Sue Storm (Jessica Alba) and her radical brother Johnny Storm (Chris Evans). Reed was once involved with Sue so this adds extra tension to the mission. As usual, the mission goes bad and all four are exposed to cosmic rays. These cosmic rays “fundamentally alters” their DNA granting each a different super power. Reed’s body becomes elastic; Sue gains the ability to turn invisible; Ben becomes a rock creature with incredible strength; Johnny turns into the human torch that can burn as hot as the sun. Victor also develops the ability to manipulate electricity. Victor becomes the bad guy and calls himself Doctor Doom.
The Fantastic Four was a great movie because I was a comic book fan of the Fantastic Four series.

      I’m surprised at the amount of negative reviews that have surrounded this movie. Perhaps, like most opinions of movies made from books or comics, it depends on whether the viewer was a fan of the original material. If you didn’t read the original Lee-Kirby Fantastic Four of the the 1960’s, then maybe this movie doesn’t do it for you. But if you did read those comics, then I think you will love this movie. It captures the mood, the interplay between the characters, and most of all, the tragic nature of Ben Grimm almost perfectly. And, I hate to say it, but the state of the art effects are even more impressive than the pulse-pounding excitement of a Kirby fight scene. Unlike a lot of special effects extravaganzas of the last few years, this movie is about the characters. It is both funny and moving. Just like the Fantastic Four that I remember.

      The Fantastic Four rocks. I think it is the movie event of the year far more better than Revenge of the Sith, Batman Begins and War of the Worlds. I like the movie with all the special powers and seeing Human Torch reminds me of myself.
