Looks like the reviews aren't good. This line is a damning as anything I have ready about a comic book movie:
It succeeds on the goofy part, presenting a shallow tale that has a few laughs but no real drama. Less a movie than an anecdotal collection of slapstick action, "Fantastic Four" carries the silliness to such a degree you practically expect campy flashes of "Thwap!" and "Kapow!" a la the 1960s "Batman" TV show.
Batman of the 60s is the pinnacle of campy comedy superhero stuff. The bar has been set too high with Spiderman 1 and 2 and Batman Begins to revisit this kind of drek again. I really hope the movie isn't as bad as this reviewer makes it out to be. If it is then Marvel will only have X-men and Spider-man as bankable franchises. All of the rest of the stuff pales in comparison.
