MOVIE: Fantastic Four
Coming straight from the COMDDAP Show from Davao, I was able to catch the last full show at Market! Market! last night. Fantastic 4 is your typical Marvel superhero flick (if you're a fan of SpiderMan, you'll love it). The entire movie is just a break from the dark comic flick that we've been getting (Batman Begins included). Many have been saying that this version has not been faithful to the original Marvel story. Although I'm a big Fantastic 4 fan, I couldn't care less.
The story revolves around the origin of the Fan 4. Introducing Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, who can elongate his body; Susan Storm/Invisible Woman (single-hood days), who not only can become invisible at will but can render other objects invisible; Johnny Storm/Human Torch, who can shoot fire from his finger tips and bend flame; and Ben Grimm/The Thing, a hideously misshapen monster with superhuman strength, together battle the evil Victor Van Doom/Doctor Doom. During the movie, there are parts that does have cheesy lines and there are times that its hilariously funny. The special effects are sometimes too CG (especially the elongation of Richards' arm to open the locked door), but the rest are just awesome.
Although its a bit cheesy, all I can say is - its fantastically entertaining!
