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.
