""Fantastic Four" is a live-action adaptaion of one of the most popular titles published by Marvel Comic Group. However, this version of "Marvel's First Family" is not as "Fantastic" as their comic book counterparts. The first thing that you can't help but notice is the special effects, The CGI is very good in this film. But sometimes, the powers of the "Fantastic Four" special effects are pretty cartoonish. One effect I was very disappointed in is the make-up for "The Thing" (Michael Chiklis, who I think was too small for this role). The comic book version of the character has a more pronounced rocky complexion. Another disappointment was the cosmic storm which gave "The Fantastic Four" and "Victor von Doom" (Julian McMahon). In fact, I think the size of the storm changed as it loomed closer to the space station Another problem with this movie is the way the characters were depicted. I couldn't picture "Dr. Reed Richard/Mister Fantastic" (Ioan Gruffudd) becoming a blubbering idiot ... "

"It is all too fitting that the lead in “Hancock” is an amnesiac, for the film in which he is featured can't seem to comprehend just what the hell it is. About halfway through, it suffers a cinematic concussion from which it never regains its former personality. Both portions of this picture might have made an interesting feature given the chance to develop more thoroughly. As it stands, “Hancock” plays out like the most recent dark, brooding film incarnation of “Batman,” but starring Adam West in the form-fitting spandex suit from the TV version. In a world where every summer superhero film is accompanied by Wal-Mart-ready action figure tie-ins, it's rather difficult to envision the kiddies clamoring to buy the “Hancock with Scotch-Swigging Action” in which you can push the button and hear one of eight colorful expletives! Yes, Hancock is the most reluctant of heroes, approaching his duties like a list of household chores rather than ... "

"By Tricia Olszewski The fanboys, naturally, have been skeptical. As with most comic-book-to-big-screen translations, no detail has been too small for Fantastic Four devotees to obsess over since pre-production. The Thing: Will old-school effects be more convincing than CGI? Sue Storm: Should a blond, all-American superheroine really be played by a Dark Angel? And after the long list of directorial talent rumored to have been attached—including Chris Columbus and, unbelievably, Steven Soderbergh—the decision to bring Taxi helmer Tim Story on board was probably the most knee-shaking announcement of them all. It’d be nice to say that all the fears were groundless. But sorry, kids, it’s clobberin’ time. From the moment a tarted-up Jessica Alba is introduced as a “director of genetic research,” Fantastic Four is less a whiz-bang popcorn flick than an unintended comedy. Anyone with a basic knowledge of the Four will already be aware that it&rs ... "

"If there’s one actress working today who best reinforces the theories of Lauren Mulvey, it’s Jessica Alba. And she encourages the male gaze by maintaining a career centered playing eye candy, whether she’s having her skirt ripped off to expose her underwear (Good Luck Chuck), spending the majority of a film wearing a bikini (Into the Blue), playing a stripper (Sin City), being used to invoke jealousy (Meet Bill) or invoking erectile gags out of Mike Myers (The Love Guru). Perhaps someone should write a lengthy article on the myriad ways in which Alba "

"The follow-up to 2005's 'Fantastic Four' has officially been rated PG. All intense actions sequences have been removed and replaced with an ultimate battle royale of words between the four heroes and their new enemy, the Silver Surfer. So on June 15, be sure to go check out 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer' only in theaters! It's sure to enhance your vocabulary and absolutely suck.
