Review: Whether it is because the first FANTASTIC FOUR movie was so
bad that anything else would look great by comparison or because I was just in
the mood for a superhero movie or that it actually was pretty decent, I really

BEGINS, but all in all this was a fun movie...more

believability and credibility" Peter Veugelaers: EntertainmentNutz.com Some call it the finger of

Rise of the Silver Surfer that they might not be too far off,

you accept that Fantastic Four is not trying to be anything
