Fantastic Four

Marvel Comics first debuted The Fantastic Four in 1961, being the first rising comic book with a superhero team. The comic book has been remade into a movie twice, once in 1994 and then again the 2005, but the 2005 remdition has to be my favorite. The superhero team consists of: Mister Fantastic, a scientific genuis, who can strech his body to incredible lenghts and shapes; Invisible Woman, who can go invisible at any given time and can also project a powerful force fields; Human Torch, who can generate flames and fly by surrounding himself with fire, and the Thing who is made of stone with the ability of superhuman strength and endurance. The 2005 remdition starts with the four heading off into space to study a cosimc energy cloud, but when the trip goes bad and they are exposed to cosmic rays, they return home with their very own special ability. When the Fantastic Four show their abilities to the public they become big, people are cheering their names, they are well like, and accepted in society. When Victor ( Mister Fantastic's old classmate , and ceo of a major company) hears about the uprising of the Fantastic Four he begins to become jealous; starting to  steal a heatseeking missile and also a supercooling unit, which he is using to mutate his arm, turning it into an organic metal, and allowing him to produce bolts of electricity. While the fame of the Fantastic Four overiding his company's downfall, Victor sets out to use his new ability for revenge on them. The Fantastic Four have to settle their differences and come together in order to defeat Dr. Doom (Victor). In the end the Fantastic Four Deafet Dr. Doom and accept their roles as superheros, or so they think.....

  2. I;d have to agree that it is a pretty sweet comic series turned into a movie. I thought that the characters in the movie were played really week. "Thing" had to have been my favorite!
