During a space voyage, four scientists are altered by cosmic rays: Reed Richards gains the ability to stretch his body; Sue Storm can become invisible; Johnny Storm controls fire; and Ben Grimm is turned into a super-strong … thing. Together, these "Fantastic Four" must now thwart the evil plans of Dr. Doom and save the world from certain destruction.

Y'know, there are a couple parts of this that work really well. There are little character beats that are just wonderful, like Reed shaving or Thing juicing an entire bag of oranges. The Ben/Johnny dynamic is dead-on. And Chris Evans is pretty close to perfect as the hot-headed Human Torch (and man is it weird seeing him now in such a different comic-book hero role).
But sooooooo many other parts are straight-up horrible. Ben has a fiancé who loves him, but dumps him on first sight of his rock body? (And runs out into the street in the middle of the night wearing nothing but a negligee?) An origin story for Reed's graying temples? (The cosmic rays did it, you…
nowhere near as bad as everyone says it is, a little cheesy
but i can concede that this entire movie is a chris evans thirst trap
(also, not gonna lie, the guy playing dr doom was high key a great casting choice)
i hate to say it, i hope i don't sound ridiculous, but this is one of my comfort movies. The amount of times i watched this movie as a kid is unhealthy.
Chris Evans, Jessica Alba, Ioan Gruffudd and Michael Chiklis are the peak of casting, they were just presented with bad script and directing.
Every time I watch this movie, I am surprised all over again that this movie gives a comic-book origin to Reed Richards’ graying temples. He’s not experiencing the normal aging process, his hair was exposed to cosmic rays!! If they didn’t explain that people would be totally baffled that this man in his mid-30s had slightly graying hair!
What I never forget is that this movie ends with a shot of Doctor Doom’s metal schlong.
This could be the nostalgia talking but I genuinely really love this! Haven’t seen it in years and it’s just as entertaining as I remembered!
