You probably saw the Pixar animated version last November. Now it's time to meet the real Incredibles: Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd), aka Mr. Fantastic, whose body stretches like Silly Putty; Sue Storm (Jessica Alba), aka the Invisible Girl, whose vanishing act is augmented by her ability to throw up an awesome force field; her brother, Johnny Storm (Chris Evans), aka the Human Torch, whose signature rallying cry, "Flame on!," is a prelude to some spectacular fireworks; and Benjamin Grimm (Michael Chiklis), aka the Thing, whose supersized strength comes at a cost: a really gnarly skin condition.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B
"Take the movie on its own lighthearted terms and, chances are, you'll be taken in. "
Austin American-Statesman: 3 of 5 stars
"The only thing it takes seriously is its mission to entertain."
Cox News Service: B
"It has a lot of action. You'll like the heroes. And the electric bad guy is cool."
Dayton Daily News: B
"... funny, without being corny, thanks to some clever lines and snarky banter. It's also visually impressive, with a highly appealing cast."
The Palm Beach Post: C-
"Do not go expecting the thematic subtexts of X-Men. This is just four geeks melting stuff, blowing stuff up, smacking through walls and positioning themselves for a sequel."
The Palm Beach Post "Flick Chick"
"There is some heavy suspension of disbelief here — mostly in accepting that human Barbie doll 24-year-old Jessica Alba is somebody's top scientist, rather than America's Next Top Model. Then again... as much fun as Fantastic Four is, I'm willing to forgive pretty much anything."
