I disagree with the IMDb plot outline because this is the first one, the creation of the Fantastic Four. Taking that into mind they don’t have an enemy yet. They are not the Fantastic Four yet. They are just a bunch of astronauts most of them with PhD’s that are out on space to study a cosmic event. Hoping as every scientist dreams to make the world a better place. You know cure diseases and that kind of stuff.

And as we all know, at least the ones that have read the comic books, Doctor Victor Von Doom sets out to destroy them because he thinks they are responsible for the downfall of his company.

Well enough said. I think it’s a great movie with nice special effects that kind of sets the foundations for more to come.

We can only hope that the next one is going to be as good as this one.
