Ok, so this was shelved, and just as well too. Occasionally there is a watchable scene but overall it has to be considered way below average. The acting goes from adequate to really bad (especially the man inside Dr. Doom). The plot is very thin and the special effects are... well funny is the best word I can find. They don't seem as much bad as they feel wrong. I'm sure most of the effects would have worked in other situations but not where they were used in this movie. But I do like the Torch at the end.
What was good is easy to account for: Ben Grimm's make-up, The Jeweler's make-up, Dr. Dooms costume and that's about it. Oh I almost forgot, Rebecca Staab is cute!
Annoying/bad things are: Dr. Doom's voice acting, Dr. Doom's sign language translation when he has captured our heroes (or is he moving his hands like that to keep his gauntlets from falling off), the silly poses some of the character takes, the sometime's lousy acting from the entire cast, Reed's corny punchline when defeating Dr. Doom, the obvious movement of Doom's gauntlet at the end etc.
Some might say that it's good for a low-budget movie, I only say: solid acting has almost nothing to do with money! Since there is another version being made I think it was a good decision to not release this turkey. Because I doubt they can make another FF movie that is even worse...
The rating's 5 of 10, mostly because it's faithful to the original and because I love how they did the Thing!
