Fantastic Four...

...was indeed fantastic. However, the movie theatre was literally sticky. Sure, the tickets were only $5 a person, but oh my god, the floor was just sticky, like they'd never mopped it, ever. Ewwwwww. Also, the air conditioning was up so high we nearly froze to death.

Julian McMahon does evil really well here, even better than on Charmed (didn't see Nip/Tuck -- is he evil-ish there, too?), and Ioan Gruffudd was unexpectedly funny.

Haven't seen the movie, but I wish to comment on Julian McMahon's eyebrows. They trouble me. Are they overplucked or something? They always strike me as odd.

New layout! All pink and flowery!

Yes, bunnyohare was just commenting on his very troubling eyebrows. They've always been just a little weird.

Thanks, I like my new layout, too. Very, very girly.

Wow, I think this is the first really positive review I've read for FF - everyone else I've read seems to hate it.

Are they fans of the comic? Because I didn't read it, so my expectations were pretty low.

We're not talking Batman good, here -- I won't kid you, I thought Christian Bale et al. blew these people away in terms of good storytelling and fantastic acting. But it was an extremely fun ride nonetheless.

Oh I don't know that. Most of the reviews focussed on bad acting, worse effects and awful writing - they didn't really mention how faithful it was to the original comic.

I agree the writing wasn't up to snuff, but I liked the acting and the effects. Hmmm. I guess I'm pretty shallow sometimes, or something.
