The love triangle has a little sap running. Johnny's impulsiveness and smart mouth are funny, but Story spends a little too much footage on his extreme sports flings before getting to the payoffs.
Fantastic Four sags in the final reel when the fireworks should begin because Story hasn't set up any fuses except Reed and Victor's rivalry. At least there's a climactic promise of Dr Doom's return to his home country, Latveria, where he plotted his most dastardly acts in the coolest evil lair in 1960s comic books.
Give these guys a sequel, and it's game on.
