Fantastic 4
Marvel's first family of comic superheroes comes to the big screen.
When an experimental space voyage goes wrong, four people are dramatically
changed by cosmic rays to become the Fantastic Four.
Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) is Mr Fantastic who develops the amazing talent
to elongate his body; Susan Storm (Jessica Alba) is Invisible Woman who not only
can become invisible at will but can also render other objects invisible; her
brother, Johnny (Chris Evans) ignites into Human Torch, a guy who can shoot fire
from his fingertips and bend flame, and Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis) turns into
The Thing, a hideously misshapen monster with super human strength.
Together, they form a force of good to battle the evil Victor Von Doom
(Julian McMahon) aka Doctor Doom.

Four manage to make their movie worth seeing and give us reason to be optimistic
for a more cohesive sequel. " – James Vance
- " A better than average comic book effort. " –
Joe Lozito
- " It puts a smile on your face and you can't resist the charming nature
of the film. " – Alex Sandell
