 'Fantastic Four'
(Michael Chiklis, Ioan Gruffudd, Chris Evans, Jessica Alba, Julian McMahon, et al / PG / 95 mins / 20th Century Fox)
Overview: This comic book adaptation follows four astronauts who are exposed to radiation in space, return to Earth with superpowers, and try to stop a madman called Dr. Doom.
Verdict: Basically, 'The Fantastic Four' is a wildly uneven, sporadically slapdash action-adventure that amuses in fits and starts! It ain't exactly clobbering time for each and every single person that pays their hard-earned $9 a pop, but with its clumsy, cheesy, and chintzy screen time, it's hard to shake the feeling that you've had a good time watching it come the end!
