Foursome

Five people go to space.

One will become BAD.

Four will become... FANTASTIC.

This God-awful bit of copy is what heralds the trailer of Fantastic Four, the latest comic-to-movie translation from Marvel Comics. It's VERY early to really say anything about it, but it's not a very nice trailer. Hate the music, the CG effects are iffy, the Thing looks wrong, Dr. Doom (weird that they put his origin along with the rest of the FF) looks wrong and so forth. Even slick editing won't fix a lame movie, but what the hey- the Fantastic Four are such a, well, fantastic, bunch of heroes so for all we know, at the very least this should be an action-packed outing. Jessica Alba provides eye candy, though Sue Richards AKA Invisible Girl seems a bit old a role for her. I'm not that much into the title, but just the same I'll chuck this into the list of anticipated films later this year.
