Marvel Comics' first family of superherodom, the Fantastic Four, hits the big screen in a light-hearted and funny adventure. It begins when down-on-his-luck genius Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd, Horatio Hornblower) has to enlist the financial and intellectual help from former schoolmate and rival Victor Von Doom (Julian McMahon, Nip/Tuck) in order to pursue outer-space research into human DNA. Also on the trip are Reed's best friend, Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis, The Shield); his former lover, Sue Storm (Jessica Alba, Dark Angel, Sin City), who's now Doom's employee and love interest; and her hotshot-pilot brother, Johnny Storm (Chris Evans, Cellular). Things don't go as planned, of course, and the quartet becomes blessed--or is it cursed?--with superhuman powers: flexibility, brute strength, invisibility and projecting force fields, and bursting into flame. Meanwhile, Doom himself is undergoing a transformation. Among the many entries in the comic-book-movie frenzy, Fantastic Four is refreshing because it doesn't take itself too seriously. Characterization isn't too deep, and the action is a bit sparse until the final reel (like most "first" superhero movies, it has to go through the "how did we get these powers and what we will do with them" churn). But it's a good-looking cast, and original comic-book cocreator Stan Lee makes his most significant Marvel-movie cameo yet, in a speaking role as the FF's steadfast postal carrier, Willie Lumpkin. Newcomers to superhero movies might find the idea of a family with flexibility, strength, invisibility, and force fields a retread of The Incredibles, but Pixar's animated film was very much a tribute to the FF and other heroes of the last 40 years. The irony is that while Fantastic Four is an enjoyable B-grade movie, it's the tribute, The Incredibles, that turned out to be a film for the ages. --David Horiuchi The Fantastic Four at Amazon.com

 Most Extras Missing from Blu-Ray May 15, 2009
Michael Burton (Columbus, OH USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you're considering the Blu-ray version, you should know that most of the special features from the DVD version are missing from the Blu-ray. Only the audio commentary and a handful of movie trailers remain.
The hi-def picture and sound are very good.
I won't tell you what I thought of the movie itself. There are plenty of other reviewers to do that.
THE FEEBLE FOUR January 30, 2009
Geary A., Jones
The acting in this is fairly flat ( and that's sad, because Michael Chiklis, at least, is usually excellent ), the CGI work is alright. I loved THE FANTASTIC FOUR when I was growing up, but this movie turned Kirby's magic to cardboard.
This edition is good for the insider stuff on Kirby, and that's the only reason I spent the extra bucks, and gave this version three stars instead of two. If you want great movie adaptations of MARVEL heroes try IRON MAN, or SPIDERMAN TWO.
 Julian is the only one who can play villians and play them so hot! January 21, 2009
H. Brito (California)
Don't listen to what anyone here says bashing this movie. While I wasn't a Fantastic 4 fan from the beginning, this was a fun movie and it made me actually interested in them. Okay, so I'll admit that I mostly saw the movie because my man, Julian McMahon, was in it, but seeing him play the villian is the hottest thing ever! And if you think he's as sexy in "Charmed" as Cole, he's ten times sexier as Dr. Doom. Talk about making you hot and bothered. :D Anyone here who says that he doesn't fit the role or can't act or just says anything to bash my man, should grow a brain and maybe get their eye sight checked because Julian is the only one who can carry this movie and carry it well as the villian. So smug, sexy, malicious and sinister, he's incredible as Doom! No one else could have played the role but him. As for the rest of the story and the scenes that didn't include Victor Von Doom, it was still fun and interesting to watch the rest of them use their powers and bicker with one another. Plus, if you get the extended edition, the movie is ten times better because they add so much to it. Unfortunetly, it's not on blu-ray like the original. While it might get a bit tiring and boring to watch this movie over and over again, no one can honestly get tired of watching Julian McMahon act and play Doom. Just watch his scenes and you'll be satisfied.
It's about the fun January 20, 2009

Excuse me, naysayers. This is not supposed to be Macbeth! For those of you real nerds who expect it to follow the comic only, just stick your heads in the sand and pretend it's stil the 60's.
The rest of us love the fun of this cast and fun story. The FF franchise is certainly better than Spider-man 3! Now that was a dropped ball of web.
What I hate is that they didn't put the extended version and all special features the Blu Ray! Blu Ray is the best picture and sound. Give us all the goodies! Why wouldn't they add everything from the original and extended? I'm glad they at least added the fun cast commentary to the Blu Ray. Any fan will love it and I wish the cast would add commentary to the sequel! If some of the cast would been more enthusiastic, They have made an FF4 third film.
Fantastic 4! January 7, 2009

One of the best comic book to movie transitions and it is even better on Blu Ray!
