Based on the Marvel Comic characters, and directed by Tim Story, the Fantastic Four is a fun romp with plenty of action and just enough silliness to make the characters endearing (if a tad aggravating ... especially Chris Evans as Storm). The story starts with the foursome (plus Victor Von Doom) heading to space and recounts their transformation - at the hands of a mysterious force - into the famous four. The story lags some as time is spent getting all warm and fuzzy as the foursome come to terms with their new selves but picks up at the end with lots of superpowerness and the (sort of) triumph of good over evil. It's all woefully predictable but since director Story takes a tongue-in-cheek (versus dark ... i.e., Spiderman) approach, it works on the whole.
My rating 7 out of 10.
