I just got home maybe five minutes ago from watching this movie. In my opinion those reviews are garbage. It was a good movie. I'm reading some of the reviews from Rotten Tomato right now and people seem to think this film was downright awful.

I have never been really invested in F4 as a comic reader or anything, but I think they did well with this movie. It definitely set a good base for a possible franchise. And I think that is exactly what this movie was for. It was about bringing the team together, not having them as this already witty and wonderful group.

The movie wasn't nearly as actiony as I expected, so there were lots of lulls, I guess. But I wasn't bored with it. I do think that the movie should have focused more on the building of the team and getting them to work together instead of with the government instead of bringing Doom back so soon. The plot could have been better, but it still worked.

It was a good movie. It would have been better if Fox had let the rights slip and Marvel picked it up.
