Of course, when the film was re-edited after scoring it, the motif got used constantly and rarely ever got to move into the main love theme until the end of the film.
This was a common occurrence for the score in the final film, in that we recorded to a different version of the film because of its tight deadline.
Fantastic's motif was a lot of fun to design, made up of magical overlapping clarinet and flute arpeggios offset by four-note bassoon scales.

Fantastic Four does not expect to be taken seriously, making no attempt to achieve the semi-realism of the recent Batman Begins.
Fantastic Four is not a good film in terms of having a decent plot, or any plot for that matter.
This film is proof that the comic book franchise is coming to an end when we're treated to a film that is full of hammy over-acting and a plot that's so easy a two year old could understand.

 Review: Fantastic Four   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Fantastic Four is the comic book that gave birth to Marvel Comics, making it the older sibling to such better-known titles as Spider-Man, X-Men, and The Incredible Hulk.
The film's first problem is the decision to make this an "origin" story, telling how the Fantastic Four came into being.
Fantastic Four is frustrating because it doesn't seem far removed from a wholly enjoyable motion picture, but the tempo's off, beats are missed, and the production ends up sounding out-of-tune.

 BBC - Movies - review - Fantastic Four
Fantastic Four's millionaire villain is called Victor Von Doom (Julian McMahon) - and that's before space rays change him into a metallic monstrosity with electric powers.
Instead, he wants to off the Four because his business is on the slide and Mr Fantastic has nicked the girl (Alba) he wants to marry ("Think of this as a promotion," says Doom, when proposing to her).
The Four are very watchable and Evans, in particular, has great fun as the cocky hotshot who can't understand why his friends aren't embracing this life-changing opportunity (his fights with The Thing provide consistent comic relief).

 Fantastic Four (2005) - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
Still smoldering in the afterglow of a genre-defining film like Batman Begins, I, like most critics, had expected Fantastic Four to follow in the Caped Crusader’s footsteps by offering us a gritty, sophisticated story that was more concerned with exploring deep, philosophical issues than portraying fisticuffs and budget-busting CGI shots.
The beauty of the Fantastic Four is that it depicts friends as family, and family as tighter than arguments or trouble, bigger than expectations or struggles, and stronger than greed or evil.

 Fantastic Four Review (Xbox)
Fantastic Four is based off the movie, so you’ll see likenesses of the characters in the flick and hear all of the actor’s actual voices in the dialogue.
The Thing is also the only one of the Fantastic Four that has to live with his transformation permanently, whereas the rest of the characters have normal human forms to hide behind, keeping the “mutant” cries at bay.
The story in Seven Studio’s and Activision’s adaptation of the film is meant to follow the plot but not to a T. Sure, you’ll have battles with VVD or Victor Von Doom, just as in the flick, but Fantastic Four wasn’t designed as a “playable movie”.

 Fantastic Four (2005): Ioan Gruffudd, Michael Chiklis, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans - PopMatters Film Review
It shows in the film, Fantastic Four, in that he's about as convincing as anyone could be in his oppressive latex fake-stone-thing suit, and quite frankly more convincing than anyone else in the cast, in any capacity.
Watching the mostly silly-explosive scene where the titular four characters are blasted by a space cloud, Chiklis -- whose Ben has to hang out in space against green screens -- makes an unusually upbeat observation.
The problem is not that she likes him, but that the film presumes only a blind girl could.

It was called The Incredibles, and if the heroes’s powers were more than a little reminiscent of their Marvel counterparts (even Frozone is a straight knockoff of Marvel’s Iceman), their film is as fresh, funny, wholesome and heartfelt as this Fantastic Four is moronic, inept, tedious and crass.
Fantastic Four may be the first movie this year with more cringeworthy romantic dialogue than Revenge of the Sith.
In the first of the film’s two (count ’em, two) paltry action scenes, the FF make their public debut on a bridge surrounded by the debris of a dozen or more totaled vehicles, including a fire truck that nearly skidded off the bridge.

The choice to animate the pivotal Human Torch sequence at the end of the film was certainly cheaper than trying to use CGI, a process that was far more expensive and still in its infancy during the production of this film but only helped underscore the budgetary constraints the film had to deal with.

 Fantastic Four   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Fantastic Four is a prime example in every respect of how not to make a movie: it's badly cast, poorly written, clumsily-directed, respects no internal logic, and looks extremely ugly to boot--it resembles those '80s production-line comedies (Police Academy, Hot Dog: The Movie) populated by fashion-plate superheroes instead of fashion-plate stoners.
All the girls in Fantastic Four are bimbos and all the boys are morons, none of which cushions the moment where Story and company have the Human Torch cause a Burger King flame-grilled billboard to smoulder.
A normal person simply doesn't decide in the middle of his superhero film to have one of the characters do a few dirt bike stunts and snowboard with his underwear model nurse--it takes a decidedly un-normal person, or committee of un-normal persons, to decide something like that.
