Fantastic Four (2005 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fantastic Four is a 2005 movie based on the Marvel Comics comic Fantastic Four, directed by Tim Story and released by 20th Century Fox. The sequel may possibly portray the Puppet Master, another Fantastic Four villain, as Alicia Masters, his step-daughter was introduced in the film. Actor Gruffudd breaks the fourth wall and looks directly at the camera as he does this, suggesting the scene might have been filmed as a joke (similar to a practical joke filmed for the first X-Men film in which an actor dressed as Spider-Man ran onto the set in the middle of a scene). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Fantastic_Four_(2005_movie)   (1371 words)

Fantastic Four - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch Both Fantastic Four and Iron Man were radically retooled in their second seasons, sporting new opening sequences, improved animation and more mature writing, though noticeably missing the introductions by Stan Lee. The 1970s Fantastic Four series replaced the character of the Human Torch with a "cute" robot named H.E.R.B.I.E. A long-lasting rumor persisted that this change was made by the TV network (NBC) because they supposedly did not want young viewers to imitate the Human Torch by setting themselves on fire. The Fantastic Four acquired their superhuman abilities after an experimental rocket designed by the scientist Reed Richards passed through a storm of cosmic rays on its test flight. encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /fantastic_four.htm   (1255 words)

John Ottman: Projects - Fantastic Four (2005) 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. 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. 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. www.johnottman.com /projects/features/fantasticfour   (1340 words)

Review: Fantastic Four 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 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. 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. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/f/fantastic_four.html   (1139 words)

Digital Spy - Movies - Fantastic Four Fantastic Four is not a good film in terms of having a decent plot, or any plot for that matter. This film is an insult to Fantastic Four fans, and comic book movie fans! Fantastic Four does not expect to be taken seriously, making no attempt to achieve the semi-realism of the recent Batman Begins. www.digitalspy.co.uk /article/ds22990.html   (723 words)

BBC - Movies - review - Fantastic Four 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). 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. 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). www.bbc.co.uk /films/2005/07/12/fantastic_four_2005_review.shtml   (386 words)

Fantastic Four (2005) - A Review by David Nusair While the film is essentially entertaining throughout, it never becomes anything more; unlike the aforementioned movies, Fantastic Four seems content to operate on the level of pure eye-candy. The bulk of Fantastic Four follows each of the five characters as they attempt to come to terms with their newfound abilities, along with the resulting consequences. This is essentially the anti-Spider-man 2; where Sam Raimi's flick featured crackling dialogue and a heightened sense of realism, Fantastic Four is chock-a-block with wink-at-the-camera moments and an unmistakable air of puerility (ie one of Mr. www.reelfilm.com /fantfour.htm   (516 words)

WORTHPLAYING - - All about games ! Fantastic's hacking mini-game is the only thing approaching a state of puzzleness, but only in a four-piece jigsaw puzzle kind of way. Fantastic Four does go out of its way to contrive situations wherein proper application of a specific character's unique abilities is required to overcome an obstacle. Blastaar, Dragon Man and several other Fantastic Four nemeses show up here, but pounding one with your elbow-drop feels much like pounding the others. www.worthplaying.com /article.php?sid=27957   (1608 words)

Fantastic Four movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review When you throw in some dodgy visual effects that make the movie look cheap and the fact that the film was made for a younger audience and not the fans, ‘Fantastic Four’ is a decidingly average take on what could have been a fantastic movie. As told in the comic from 1961, The Fantastic Four came to be when scientist Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd), best-friend Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis), Susan Storm (Jessica Alba) and Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) were struck by a cosmic storm while on an exploratory space mission. “Fantastic Four” had the potential for a few interesting themes, the most conspicuous of which is today's cult of instant celebrity. www.thezreview.co.uk /reviews/f/fantasticfour.htm   (3089 words)

IGN: Hidden Heroes: Contrasting Fantastic Four Considering the budget for this film, some reports have it going north of $150 million, there's no reason and no excuse for any of those effects to look anything short of, well, fantastic. 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. At the end of the day, the two films are a lot more similar than the producers of the latest film would like to admit. comics.ign.com /articles/632/632170p1.html   (955 words)

"Fantastic Four": The Complete 1994-95 Animated Television Series DVD Review Some viewers drew parallels to the Fantastic Four and indeed the four central characters of Pixar's film and their respective superpowers do lend themselves to inevitable comparisons with the somewhat familial titular team of Lee and Kirby's brainstorming. Fans of this '90s incarnation of "Fantastic Four" should be fairly pleased with Buena Vista's box set presentation of the entire animated series, but an interest in comic superheroes or Fox's new feature film adaptation is pretty much a prerequisite for anyone else to enjoy this set. Doom renders the Fantastic Four powerless, a fact which they struggle to come to terms with, except for Ben who revels in turning from "chunk to hunk." Helping the four overcome their foe is the blind superhero Daredevil. www.ultimatedisney.com /fantasticfour-series.html   (3758 words)

Movie Review Fantastic Four (1994) Alex Hyde-White, Rebecca Staab Fantastic Four has been making the rounds of comic book conventions everywhere, with bootleg copies being the only way to see this film, since I doubt you could find a copy at your local Blockbusters. Writers Craig J. Nevius and Kevin Rock hits all the right notes, covering all the origins of the Fantastic Four as told by the comic book, but it's obvious their script was written to heavily conform to the film's low budget. Here are the powers of the Fantastic Four: Reed Richards has the power to stretch, but seems to only be able to stretch his hand and feet -- which looks like what they are, that iiis a fake hand or foot stuck to the end of a really long pole. www.beyondhollywood.com /reviews/fantastic4.htm   (887 words)

VH1.com : Movies : Movie : Fantastic Four : Plot A long-gestating project that had been talked about by a number of filmmakers since the early '90s, Fantastic Four was previously the basis for a pair of animated television serials, and was made into a feature film in 1994 by producer Roger Corman, though that film was never released. (Fantastic Four creator Stan Lee has said the 1994 film was made only so that the producers could hold on to the rights to the characters, and that it was never intended to be distributed to the public.) ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide Together, the travelers become known as the Fantastic Four, and they set out to use their unusual skills to fight crime, quickly gaining a nemesis in another altered hero who uses his talents for evil, Doctor Doom (Julian McMahon). www.vh1.com /movies/movie/237050/plot.jhtml   (323 words)

Fantastic Four trivia A Fantastic Four movie was filmed in 1994 with the intention to not release the movie to the public. Fantastic Four creator (and Marvel editor-in-chief) Stan Lee has a cameo as Willy Lumpkin, the Four's mailman. Fantastic's stretching ability is based (loosely) on the malleability of water, the Invisible Woman's power is based invisibility of air, the Thing's rocky appearance is based on earth, and the Human Torch's is obviously based on fire. www.moviemistakes.com /film5125/trivia   (412 words)

Fantastic Four (2005) Fantastic Four may be the first movie this year with more cringeworthy romantic dialogue than Revenge of the Sith. 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. 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. www.decentfilms.com /sections/reviews/1619   (1793 words)

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. The problem is not that she likes him, but that the film presumes only a blind girl could. 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. www.popmatters.com /film/reviews/f/fantastic-four-dvd.shtml   (1595 words)

Fantastic Four (2005) Perhaps the bad rainstorm on the “Fantastic Four” movie premiere should have been taken as an omen. I don’t think Jessica was terrible, but my first reaction from the film was that she was there for the sake of her cleavage.

Tail Slate - DVD Review - Fantastic Four (2005) The issue is really central to the Fantastic Four, which is easily one of the silliest comic book franchises. The Fantastic Four tells the tale of four regular people who, after a tragic accident on a space station, become altered by cosmic rays. Personally, I thought the effects of the Hulk in that underrated film were outstanding, most especially in the scenes in the desert when he fights the tanks. www.tailslate.net /reviews/dvd/dreviews.asp?ID=229   (1053 words)

FilmJerk.com - Film Review: Fantastic Four And as the evil figure of the film, Julian McMahon sleepily embodies Doctor Doom, looking about as pumped to slaughter the Fantastic Four as I look when I have to mow the lawn. “Fantastic” reveals itself in the end to be merely a set-up for sequels to come, which might explain why the characters don’t really explore their powers or teamwork until the final reel. The screenplay is basically an origin tale for the four heroes, and an incredibly dull one at that. www.filmjerk.com /new/article1351.html   (843 words)

July 2005 blackfilm.com The film revels in its desire to be the next great epic, but it merely falls to a solid somewhat banal period piece of excellent bloody sword and arrow play in numerous battles. Although some the stories in the film seem contrived, the actors portraying the roles are not only convincing but perhaps give their best performance to date. With the exception of a bullet train at infinite speed and the dialogue, which gave Speedman and Dafoe the worst lines of the film, the film is appealing because Cube and Jackson are worth watching. www.blackfilm.com /20050701/index.shtml   (863 words)

Fantastic Four (2005): Reviews The release of Fantastic Four marks the beginning of the end for movies based on Marvel Comics' upper tier of characters. The really good superhero movies, like "Superman," "SpiderMan 2" and "Batman Begins," leave Fantastic Four so far behind that the movie should almost be ashamed to show itself in the same theaters. Fantastic Four doesn't expand on, or even illuminate, anything much beyond the most basic theme of what it feels like to be an adolescent misfit. www.metacritic.com /film/titles/fantasticfour   (1183 words)
