Galaxy Quest was a hoot, and got "Kirk" right.GALAXY QUEST was the best Trek film ever, just as THE INCREDIBLES was the best Fantastic Four movie possible.

You're right. Galaxy Quest parodied Star Trek while still treating it with great respect. The Incredibles spoofed the FF, but also the old James Bond movies and a lot of it was adapted from the old comic book "The Watchmen." My favorite scene from the movie was the one where his boss called him in: "I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy."
One thing that's weird to me about the Fantastic Four movies is how small the characters seem. They don't have the grandeur or seem larger than life, as characters of that type should. They don't seem heroic; they're just people who happened to get super powers, and there's nothing special about them.

just as THE INCREDIBLES was the best Fantastic Four movie possible I still LOL at the Incredibles. It is great when a film can be enjoyed by the kiddies and the adults at the same time, each laughing at different parts.
