On Christmas Day 2005 or 6 i was given the Fantastic 4 that was released on DVD. I watched it and was disgusted with how bad it was. The storyline was stale, Dr Doom was the blandest bad guy ever, and Everyone of the fantastic 4 besides the thing was a waste of storyline. Now I'm not saying it was a bad movie, oh no. I'm saying it was a terrible movie. A movie you feel ashamed for watching bad. At that time I thought this was the first attempt at a Fantastic 4 movie, but then i came of the knowledge of this 1994 "b" movie and let me say that this was bad in the ways that the new one is not. THe acting, the special effects, chessey mole person, everything seems a notch lower in this....but in a "so bad its good" way. The storyline is actually better then the hunk of crap thrown at fans in the summer of 2005 and the maker of that should be ashamed, this is a bad movie that had the potental to be a good movie if the right actors were in place, and if the effects were bumped up a notch. Johnny is completely unlikeable in this movie though which is the one place besides effects and acting were the new FF actually eclipses this in quality. If your looking for some unintentional laughs go watch this because it is great in all the wrong ways. And you be much better off burning this on a DVD then buying Fantastic 4 the alba edition.
