Having never been much of a fan of the Fantastic Four, I was able to enjoy the movie. Some of the acting is pretty terrible -- people complain about Jessica Alba, but she's much, much better than the guy playing Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic -- and you should know going in that the Commish basically carries the whole thing. Without Chiklis, there's no movie.

The plot also has some pretty big holes in places. But overall it's fun superhero fluff that's worth a rental.

It's got nothing on Batman Begins or Spiderman 2, however. And I'm pretty skeptical about the inevitable sequel.
