The Fantastic Four movie...
Jul. 31st, 2005 04:05 pmWell, I've seen the reviews, and some weren't all that positive. I haven't heard any un-positive reviews from people I know, but today I went and saw it, and wow!

Make a few changes to make it marketable in today's world, and if you piss off the *really* die-hard fans with a few alterations in history, it's okay, so long as it makes the story flow into a nice, two hour movie."
