You may have read some negative reviews on the Fantastic Four from others, but let me attempt to clarify. If you want shakespeare, then no I guess it wouldn't make you happy. If your one of these guys that can recite the name of every person to ever sit aboard the Starship Enterprise, (super geeks) then you'll probably find something wrong with this movie. If your an average joe who would like to take your family to something not terribly offensive with action, humor, and super heroes, then this one is for you.
It's got a little romance for the ladies, and plenty of funny scenes for the kids and guys who like to laugh. The friendly fight scenes between the Thing and the Human Torch will keep you rolling on the floor. They act like a real family except with super powers. The two deliver flawless guy humor with slightly slapstick action in the grand tradition of the Three Stooges, but not really that unrealistic. Of course their are plenty of car crashes, and fighting for the action fans.
Now you sophisticates leave us alone and stop trashing a good movie. Or else it's "Clobberin' Time"! So maybe it doesn't meet the standards necessary for a Oscar winning performance. My family had fun, and in the end that's all that counts.
