There are plenty of other reviewers to do that. If you're considering the Blu-ray version, you should know that most of the special features from the DVD version are missing from the Blu-ray. Only the audio commentary and a handful of movie trailers remain.The hi-def picture and sound are very good.I won't tell you what I thought of the movie itself.
If you want great movie adaptations of MARVEL heroes try IRON MAN, or SPIDERMAN TWO. This edition is good for the insider stuff on Kirby, and that's the only reason I spent the extra bucks, and gave this version three stars instead of two. The acting in this is fairly flat ( and that's sad, because Michael Chiklis, at least, is usually excellent ), the CGI work is alright. I loved THE FANTASTIC FOUR when I was growing up, but this movie turned Kirby's magic to cardboard.
Don't listen to what anyone here says bashing this movie. :D Anyone here who says that he doesn't fit the role or can't act or just says anything to bash my man, should grow a brain and maybe get their eye sight checked because Julian is the only one who can carry this movie and carry it well as the villian. Okay, so I'll admit that I mostly saw the movie because my man, Julian McMahon, was in it, but seeing him play the villian is the hottest thing ever. Doom.
Unfortunetly, it's not on blu-ray like the original. So smug, sexy, malicious and sinister, he's incredible as Doom. As for the rest of the story and the scenes that didn't include Victor Von Doom, it was still fun and interesting to watch the rest of them use their powers and bicker with one another. While it might get a bit tiring and boring to watch this movie over and over again, no one can honestly get tired of watching Julian McMahon act and play Doom. Plus, if you get the extended edition, the movie is ten times better because they add so much to it. While I wasn't a Fantastic 4 fan from the beginning, this was a fun movie and it made me actually interested in them.
No one else could have played the role but him. Just watch his scenes and you'll be satisfied. And if you think he's as sexy in "Charmed" as Cole, he's ten times sexier as Dr. Talk about making you hot and bothered.
The FF franchise is certainly better than Spider-man 3. I'm glad they at least added the fun cast commentary to the Blu Ray. This is not supposed to be Macbeth.
Give us all the goodies. Any fan will love it and I wish the cast would add commentary to the sequel. Why wouldn't they add everything from the original and extended.
Excuse me, naysayers. Blu Ray is the best picture and sound. If some of the cast would been more enthusiastic, They have made an FF4 third film.
For those of you real nerds who expect it to follow the comic only, just stick your heads in the sand and pretend it's stil the 60's.The rest of us love the fun of this cast and fun story. Now that was a dropped ball of web.What I hate is that they didn't put the extended version and all special features the Blu Ray.
One of the best comic book to movie transitions and it is even better on Blu Ray.
