Featured review
As long as you keep in mind that the production of this movie was a copyright ploy, and not intended as a serious release, it is actually surprising how not absolutely horrible it is. I even liked the theme music.
And if ever a flick cried out for a treatment by Joel (or Mike) and the MST3K Bots, this is it! Watch this with a bunch of smart-ass wise-crackers, and you're in for a good time. Have a brew, butter up some large pretzels, and enjoy.
Of course, obtaining a copy requires buying a bootleg or downloading it as shareware, but if you're here on the IMDb, then you're most likely savvy enough to do so. Good luck.
And look for my favorite part....where Dr. Doom informs the FF that they have 12 hours to comply with his wishes....and he actually gestures the number "12" with his finger while doing so....it's like "Evil Sesame Street"....hoo boy.
...and of course Mrs. Storm declaring "Just look at you....the Fanstastic Four" is just so heartwarming....you'll laugh, you'll cry.....
So if you love schlocky Sci-Fi, this one's Fantastic For you!

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn an interview with Kevin Smith, Stan Lee said that, unbeknownst to its cast and crew, this movie was never intended to be released. It was made only because the studio that owned the rights to make a Fantastic Four movie would have lost those rights if production didn't start by a certain date. Producers Bernd Eichinger and Roger Corman have both denied this. Corman said he was under contract to release it, and Eichinger said the film was never released because Marvel Studios founder Avi Arad bought it and ordered all copies destroyed for fear of the low-budget project cheapening the brand. Arad confirmed this in 2002, adding that he had been unaware of an upcoming Fantastic Four film until a fan mentioned it to him after noticing Arad's Fantastic Four shirt. Arad has never seen the film.
- Goofs(at around 1h 25 mins) Laser beams continue moving in the direction they are aimed. Dr Doom's laser cannon was aimed at an upward angle, and would simply continue into space, not descending on New York, as shown in the film.
