Having just watched it again for the first time since it came out I have a hard time understanding why this movie is so reviled. While I grant that the story does jump around a bit, on the plus side I found the performances to be quite winning (particularly a pre-"Captain America" Chris Evans as super pest Johnny "The Human Torch" Storm) and the film had a refreshingly light touch. Maybe the main problem was how this lightness was definitely counter to the brooding "Batman Begins" tone that became so popular and influential back in 2005 as well. All I can say is that F4 has earned a spot in my nostalgia zone- not perfect, but certainly not the worst comics movie (hello, Watchmen...).
