I've been a fan of the "Fantastic Four" since it became the cornerstone for Marvel Comics. So, I know that if Michael Chiklis and "The Thing" don't work on film, it's a wasted exercise.

I'll see it, either this weekend or next. Even if "Rottentomatoes" has given it a 28%.

Go see it. It is pretty true to the comics, except Doom, which they screwed up royally. The critics are all panning it, but it is a pretty good movie, and Torch and Thing do steal the show. Chiklis is great as the thing, and the fact that they left his eyes showing is a great boon to the Thing's believability.

Now that the bring-the-masses-up-to-speed part is over, I cant wait to see the sequels (contracted for two of them). If they are anywhere near as good as X2 or Spider-Man 2, they will be, well, fantastic...JFK
