Third Time's A Charm
Alright, I've just got back from my third viewing of Fantastic Four. It was just as excellent as the other two viewings.
Since it came out 8 July, Fantastic Four has done incredibly well. According to BoxOfficeMojo, as of 2 August, F4 has made $138,065,785 domestically. Add that to $109,499,621 overseas, for a total of $247,565,406!
The question is, why have critics called it a flop? Every where one looks, the critics have given it bad reviews.
I think the obvious answer is that the critics are often wrong. They forget to factor "entertainment value" into their grades. So Fantastic Four might not be another Lord of the Rings, but how many movies are? The point is, Fantastic Four is a very funny, very entertaining summer movie. It has done super well in the United States and around the world. I don't even think it has opened in every country yet.
I think it is a great movie to see on a hot summer day (and not just because hot Ioan Gruffudd). It's fun!
