Fantastic Four is full of excitement

Fantastic Four

Director: Tim Story

Cast: Loan Gruffudd, Michael Chiklis, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Julian McMahon

They don’t stop; they just keep coming; those endless screen lifts from the pages of the comic books. Haven’t they exhausted the seam yet?

Seems not and here director Story has opted for a straight lift with few additions or subtractions. What you see, or might have been reading over the years, is what you get as the usual cosmically-zapped heroes and heroines save the world as we thought we knew it from the evil that lurks, etc., etc., etc.

It’s actually quite good, the playing is excellent, the action exciting, the special F/X impressive and the writing well above average.

Might even be the summer’s fantastic hit!

Star Rating: 4/5
