Fantastic, Indeed
I must disagree with the critics. I enjoyed Fantastic 4. Unlike, Spider-Man or Batman, you have at least 4 characters to develop. I think they did a good job of this. We see Ben Grimm transform into the Thing losing the love of his life. I guess love doesn't conquer all. Then he must decide whether to accept his lot in life and be a superhero or to revert to being norman and having his wife back.
We see the arrogant and brash Johnny Storm learn to put others first while still getting the hot chicks (maybe even more so). We see the unassertive Reed Richards realize what's important ie that the rich, successful, handsome bad boy is not always the best choice for the girl.
And last but not least, Susan Storm. Susan doesn't really develop because she seems to all ready posses her better qualities at the beginning of the film and doesn't need to grow with the exception of clueing in Mr. Fantastic what it takes to hold her heart. Strom is played by the ever gorgeous Jessica Alba who has just climbed her way back into my top 5 list. This year alone she has given us Sin City and F4. If numbers 1 and 2 don't produce some work soon Alba may climb even further.
I guess now the only thing to do is wait 2 years for the sequel.
