Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Monkeywess This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

jamesgandrew Marvel's Fantastic Four has had three live action adaptations. Many however don't know of the earlier low budget attempt at bringing the group to the screen. This is partly due to it never being officially released…Constantin Films bought a ten year option for the rights to Marvel Comics. Since the ten year option was coming to an end, they quickly put together an adaptation of the Fantastic Four. Marvel, when seeing the film, were displeased and presumably destroyed the film prints and negative.Despite its low budget nature, this is honestly my preferred version of the Fantastic Four. The 2005 version is fun but flawed and don't get me started on the horrid 2015 'Fant4stic'. This one is closer to the comics and feels like a comic book film. It may be cheesy and quite lame at times, but it always kept me entertained.

gjcomics1 I enjoyed spotting all the things in this movie that were stolen from popular contemporaries: The soundtrack here is ostensibly just the Jurassic Park them with some sad violins added in. The sequence where the heroes receive their Fantastic Four powers is lifted out of 2001: A Space Odyssey (when Dave Bowman encounters the monolith,) Only this time, it's less dazzling. The ending of FANTASTIC FOUR is just Batman & The Joker all over again. I liked the Thing's storyline. In the movie, the Thing falls in love with this artist named Alicia. And though Alicia and The Thing have never spoken a full sentence to one another, they would gladly go the grave defending their love for one another! You can appreciate the passion. Alicia says maybe two lines in the whole movie, which makes it even more baffling when she abruptly bleats out "I LOVE YOU!"The Thing's motivation was clearly defined. Motivation is important. Its what makes us care about a character, and want to see how the character fares in the story. Reed and Doom's motivations seem to be basically identical: scientific supremacy. As for the two blond kids, I'm not really sure why they are even there. Apparently Sally has been DTF her entire life. Johnny is just there to be the Deus Ex Machina.AND NOW... LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... The Oscar for most over the top acting goes to... D O C T O R D O O M! OMG! WHY ARE WE SHOUTING? LOUD NOISES! AUUUGGHGHHHHHH!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON WITH DR DOOMS HANDS IN THIS MOVIE? He touches everybody on the face like he has never seen another human being before. When he is explaining his master plan, he goes into full Ricky Bobby mode! "I don't know what to do with my hands!"The movie's pacing is lop-sided. Starts off moderate, then takes a sudden ninety-degree turn into the stratosphere. We are introduced to the characters, their relationships, etc. We are given lots of interesting information, and we are left to decide for ourselves how to feel about it.Is Reed a good guy or bad guy for testing the limits of science? After all, it nearly got his best friend killed! Should the heroes even use their powers? Interesting questions pop up but dissipate as soon as they appear. When Dr. Doom reveals his intent to nuke the entire city of New York into oblivion (because, f$#@ New York) it becomes absolutely necessary for the heroes to use their powers regardless of morality.The ending, then, gives no closure. We are still unsure if Reed is a good guy or bad guy. He saved New York from a disaster which he himself created... Ah, who cares... Having powers is pretty awesome! Cue the classy shot of Reed riding away in a limo, his rubbery hand outstretched through the moon-roof, waving goodbye, just like Arnold at the end of Last-Action-Hero... *JURASSIC PARK THEME PLAYS amid a SAD VIOLINS*

americaowe This is still the best of all the Fantastic Four movies made so far. It had a tiny budget but still was more fun to watch then the other newer three Fantastic Four movies all put together. The best scene is that of Doctor Doom sitting on his throne, surrounded by flaming torches and laughing uncontrollably as if he had lost his mind. This scene is considered one of the best scenes ever shot among all comic book movies. You know, a few years ago George Lucas admitted he copied the Star Wars characters from the Fantastic FOUR: Hans Solo was Reed Richards, the brother and sister Leah and Luke were Johnny and sue ,the Thing was the Wookie and you have only to look at Darth Vader to realize he was copied of Doctor Doom. I realized that back when Star Wars premiered in the movie theaters in the 1970's. My dream back then and now was to have Lucas direct a Fantastic Four movie, not these losers who directed the last three bombs.

tomgillespie2002 Reed Richards (Alex Hyde-White) and Victor Von Doom (Joseph Culp) are University friends who decide, with the arrival of comet Colossus imminent, it is the perfect time to try their long-planned experiment. Naturally, things go wrong and it appears that Von Doom is killed in the accident. Years later, Richards and his friend Ben Grimm (Michael Bailey Smith) venture into space as the same comet passes again, this time with their old friends Sue (Rebecca Staab) and Johnny Storm (Jay Underwood). Again, things go wrong, as the diamond that was going to be used in the experiment has been stolen and swapped by a thief, and the four crash back to Earth with new superpowers.Well, where to start? The fact that this film is still unavailable practically anywhere (it was even ignored in the obligatory cash-in release when the big-budget 2005 version hit the theatres) speaks volumes about its quality. Stan Lee admitted that the film was never intended for release, and that the film was only made due to the fact that their rights to make a film were running out. And so we have this colossally and diabolically awful s**t-stain of an excuse of a movie, utterly amateurish in every imaginable way. It's a film that the Sci-Fi (sorry, Sy Fy) channel would be proud of (or not).The main distraction is the ridiculous sub-plot, which has The Jeweller (Ian Trigger), the thief of the diamond (which he just walks in and picks it up, by the way), kidnap a blind sculptor who after a 10-second meeting with a pre-Thing Grimm, falls in love with him. It's one of those what-the-f**k moments that causes you to wonder where the script- writers got the crack they've obviously been smoking from. It constantly takes the action away from the Four and makes the film all the more tedious. And it's the most laughable use of a blind female sculptor since Lionel Ritchie's music video for Hello.The film is full of these moments, really. One that stuck with me the most was how Reed and Grimm, preparing for their trip into space, simply drop by the Storm's to ask them if they'd like to, y'know, come up into space. Not that it needs any training or anything. The Four themselves (with the exception of The Thing), once transformed are really quite awful. If you've ever seen Master of the Flying Guillotine (1976) and the guy with the extendible arms in that, then you'll have an idea about Reed's power. If you've not, then I'll tell you, it looks s**t. The Human Torch actually turns into a strange cartoon-computer effect hybrid at one point as if the film-makers just couldn't be a***d anymore, and the invisible one (whatever she's called), well, can't be seen, so they get away with it. The effects guys must have put all their money into the Thing's costume as it's actually quite good.Apart from the Thing's costume, I fail to think of anything remotely good or even average about this film. It's just awful. Dr. Doom's costume is so amateurish, he looks like an S&M-loving, gay Robin Hood hybrid. And you can't tell what he's saying half the time. Shame on you, Roger Corman. But saying that, the 1994 film is no less heartless or emotionless as the 2005 version, which was only slightly rescued by a big budget and a good performance by Chris Evans. Apart from that, also very s**t.
