I bought it, I saw it, and I enjoyed the HELL out of it!
Flawed? Yes. But fun! Definitly worth my $15.
(Here's the part where people can yell at me...)
It might not be a better film than X2, but I enjoyed it a whole lot more!

I really liked it. But then, I was completely unfamiliar with the comic and I adore Chris Evans. 
So that probably upped my enjoyment level.

I liked the way their powers reflected their lives; Sue felt that Reed couldn't 'see' her, Reed was always 'stretching' things to see the positive outcome for humanity, Ben wasn't loved by Deb for his true self, and his change forced him to find his real love, Johnny was a hothead, always pushing the envelope (playing with fire, as it were), and Victor had a heart cold as steele.
And boy was it just plain funny at times!
Fantastic Four was one of the better comic adaptions, IMHO!

Well... actually NOT that long, I lol'd in Serenity now that I think on it.
But, a more fun film- I cant remember...
Maybe Jackie Chan's Medallion, but even that wasn't AS fun as Fantastic Four.

That's it! Galaxy Quest was the last time I lol'd that hard!
GQ is probably THE most FUN movie ever!

It was Grabthar's Hammer.
Yes, I can quote Galaxy Quest on command.

Quote:Finn, how was it not a good children's flick? With just a few touches of the fast-foward, I think my six year old son would really love it!

And where was the '13' necessary after the PG? The Empire Strikes Back had sterner stuff in it IMO.

Quote:Exactly, I think you’ve answered your own question, not to put too fine a point on it. I think it would have been a movie that would have really connected with a younger audience, had they tweaked it a little bit to get rid of some of the adult content. Not that there was a lot of adult content, but what there was did not serve to make the film better, it just confined its audience. I can't think of any examples right now. It's been a while since I've seen it, but that was my impression at the time, so I'm sure there was something in the movie that made me think that.

I think they’re making the same mistake with the Harry Potter movies. The last one I saw was so visually frightening it was like a horror film.
Quote:The Empire Strikes should have been PG-13. It wasn’t because that rating didn’t exist at the time, but I can remember the effect that movie had on me, and I was 12 or 13 when I saw it. It was really a very dark movie for a child.
