Fantastic Four

Released: 2005
Final Score: 11/32
Jeff's Score: 17/32
 
A group of astronauts gain superpowers after a cosmic radiation exposure and must use them to oppose the plans of their enemy, Doctor Victor Von Doom
 
What Critics Said: Fantastic Four is a goofy, mediocre entry in the superhero genre.
 
What I Said: The Movie is entertaining and the opposite of the X-Men are doing in terms of style and voice.
 
This is a movie that I liked more the typical or average movie goer.  Why the difference? A month before this movie was released Christopher Nolan's first movie in his Dark Knight was released, a darker and more realistic (yeah I just said realistic in a review of a super hero movie) Super Hero Movie.   The Fantastic Four was meant, at least I think it was, meant to be more of a family friendly movie than 20th Century Fox's other Super Hero Universe the X-Men.  
The one change I think could have really improved this movie, CGI - Motion Capture for The Thing (Michael Chiklis).
