    Fantastic Four was not great by any means. They ruined that franchise - hence the reboot that is coming. Comic heroes are not supposed to be PG. By doing that you ruin the material it is pulled from. While they weren't terrible, I would not say they were good. I am looking forward to I am Number Four.
