Ein kleines Team von vier Astronauten wird im Laufe einer Weltallmission einer starken kosmischen Strahlung ausgesetzt. Der schicksalhafte Unfall verursacht eine Veränderung ihrer Moleküle. Aus gewöhnlichen Weltraumfahrern werden Superhelden mit außerordentlichen Fähigkeiten. Dr. Reed Richards, der Anführer der Gruppe, kann sich fortan etwa wie eine Gummipuppe dehnen. Seine schöne Freundin Susan Storm ist in der Lage, sich unsichtbar zu machen. Susans jüngerer Bruder Johnny Storm verwandelt sich jetzt nach Wunsch in einem herumfliegenden Feuerball und der ehemalige Pilot Ben Grimm - eigentlich ein friedlicher Zeitgenosse - mutiert zum steinernen Muskelprotz wenn die Situation es erfordert. Gemeinsam sind die vier, die sich die passende Namen 'Mr. Fantastic', Die Unsichtbare, Die menschliche Fackel und Das Ding zulegen eine unschlagbare Truppe, die fortan gegen das Böse in der Welt kämpfen. Allen voran ist ihnen ihr Erzfeind Victor von Doom ein Dorn im Auge. Der größenwahnsinnige Wissenschaftler will, seinen Name treu bleibend, mit finsteren Plänen die Erde ins Unglück stürzen.

An indication of the qualities of this movie is the fact that the best aspect of the movie is the utterly uninventive music. I can’t believe that a screenwriter the format of Mark Frost stands behind this joke. Maybe he took pity on it like a naive B-popcorn movie. But it would have to be appropriately swift and with good action scenes. But no. All told there are just two action scenes here. And to add to things, the first one on the bridge is one of the worst scenes that I have even seen in a wannabe A-movie production. The Fantastic Four is a high-budget soap opera with a comic book backdrop. Apart from the small detail that even a starring Natalia Oreiro is more entertaining. I must add that this is gradually “rotting" inside me to a point that I want to give it the lowest possible rating.

Die gut besetzten und dargestellten Figuren bilden ein Gegengewicht zu dem katastrophalen Drehbuch. Diesen Film muss man im Rahmen der doofen kommerziellen Hollywood-Produktion wie Van Helsing und nicht im Rahmen der intelligenten Comic-Filme wie X-Men 2 bewerten. Ein unterhaltsamer Quatsch, dessen Dummheit durch die naiven Sympathien übertroffen wird. Unterhaltsamer und niedlicher als Baywatch - Die Rettungsschwimmer von Malibu. Den Herren wird am besten das Honiggesicht der professionellen Nicht-Schauspielerin Jessica Alba gefallen.

The film has a plot that is foolishly muddled, made even worse by the leftist directorial treatment. The insensitive editing creates one logical gap after another, and the whole thing is held together solely by the force of opulent visual presentation, which must have consumed most of the hundred-million-dollar budget. However, even the spectacular special effects sequences, which undeniably include Oliver Wood's excellent camera work, cannot deny their own self-indulgence. The content aspect is incredibly empty, and the comedic elements could have given way to at least a hint of psychological background for the individual characters. Among them, the most captivating is the stoic Ben, portrayed by the excellent Michael Chiklis, who (if he appeared in a better film) could rival Ron Perlman's Hellboy, as the combination of classic latex and acting charisma is the only reason why this otherwise terrible Fantastic Four movie is worth watching.

I think there is no reason to condemn the family-adventure adaptation of a family-adventure comic book for being exactly like its source material. The lack of action is noticeable, though if this flaw were to be addressed in the sequel, as well as Jessica Alba's clumsiness, I might actually start looking forward to it.

It's been a while since I've seen this. I know Chris Evans is hot and he rides a motorcycle in this. I know that if you're rubbery (Luffyyy :-D) and run out of toilet paper, you can reach into the next room for a new one. I know, McMahon was a better bad guy in Charmed. I know Jessica can disappear, but she has a thing for rubber. I know people can petrify after being hit by cosmic radiation of an unknown nature. A filmed comic that is (presently) at 54%. Do I really need to say more?

Very unaccomplished filmmaking that, with its dullness and clichés, hits you right in the eye. Yet it was a relative hit, how is that possible? Things happen in Hollywood, you know. I can't compare the film with the source material, but the characters were sketched quite decently and the whirlwind of good visual effects occasionally settles one down nicely (these ingredients evidently have too strong an effect on the American audience). However, the whole thing is quite cynical and insanely predictable.

Not even the second time did this film get under my skin, which just shows how weak some comic book movies can be. The basic plot is simple, but there are unnecessarily drawn-out and boring scenes that don't contribute to the story. The cast isn't bad, but this is a legendary Marvel team that I personally really like. I hope the new version will be better.
