The Fantastic Four movie (2005) is underrated movie from early 2000’s comic book movies of the past. The film wasn’t as good as X-men or Spider-Man movies but I still enjoyed the film.
This wasn't so bad. The cast look great and had some fun moments like the bridge sequence. Chris Evans, Micheal Chicklis, and Julian McMahon were great.
Chiklis was the perfect Thing. And honestly Julian McMahon would be a good Dr Doom if they did him right. And of course the 90s Marvel Action Hour kept me in front of the TV every Saturday.
I will always love Fantastic Four (2005!). Still one of my favorites from the early 2000s. It has a lot of unexpected deep moments and character development. Rest in peace to Julien Mchaan as Doctor Doom. He wasn’t perfect but he did do a spectacular job! The cast had chemistry and the story had heart! This movie will always be iconic!
While I did enjoy this and the sequel, aside from a lot of the camp, Dr. Doom was what sours it for me. It wasn't needed to change Doom so drastically from his source materiel. Also, he suffers from the Stallone Dredd syndrome of a character that has no face being helmetless for the majority of the film.
I never understood the hate for this movie. The first time I watched it, it was part way through on HBO. I came in at the part right after the accident in space. Ben's waking up & you're seeing from his point of view, so, of course, you assume he's turned into The Thing. And Johnny's there acting concerned but is actually pulling one over on Ben and the audience because he's still normal (for the time being anyway) I was immediately hooked😅
