Curiosità:

Although Stan Lee has made cameos in many Marvel movies, this is the first time he has played a character from the comics: Willy Lumpkin, the Fantastic Four's kindly old mailman.

Errori:

Continuity: Johnny Storm watches as Reed Richard's arm stretches across the hallway and retracts holding a roll of toilet paper. However, his arm shows that he is still dressed in his stretchable unitard. To use the lavatory, most people remove a one piece outfit by taking their top off. Richards' arm should have been bare.

Citazioni:

[first lines]
Ben Grimm: Typical of Victor Von Doom to build a 30 foot statue of himself.

Very good - satisfying

I don't know why some people wanted more action. That has been the bane of many movies lately - focusing too much on action and special effects and forgetting how to tell a good story.

This movie remembered to use the special effects to help tell the story and not focus on them. The effects were really good and many of them were used for humour instead of action. The only effect that looked a bit computerish or fake was the flame effect on Johnny Storm.

The acting is decent and all the characters seem to fit the roles. They have the right attitudes and lines.

There were a few scenes that were a bit contrived and we weren't sure why/how the character ended up there - for example, Johnny Storm is suddenly in a bike jumping show - but maybe he knows someone on the inside - so we will just let it go. Besides, it's a comic book.

It seemed very true to the feel of the comic books. I really enjoyed this show and would recommend it.
