Well the verdict is out, and the critics are giving Marvels latest big dollar picture a super powered whomping. Thats right, the movie has not impressed many -if any- in the movie pundit business. Some one included in that list of dissatisfied movie know all's is none other than the man himself Roger Ebert.

And the really good superhero movies, like "Superman," "SpiderMan 2" and "Batman Begins," leave "Fantastic Four" so far behind that the movie should almost be ashamed to show itself in the same theaters.

Damn; Ebert not holding back at all. Personally I have yet to see the movie, and now I am unsure to when I actually will. I mean I will see it eventually but I'm not in any major hurry after reading all of the negative reviews about the soon to be super flop. Reviews from both comic and movie dorks seem to be disappointing on both entertainment and fan areas. Here are some hard hitting thoughts from Eberts review.

Are these people complete idiots? The entire nature of their existence has radically changed, and they're about as excited as if they got a makeover on "Oprah." The exception is Ben Grimm, as the Thing, who gets depressed when he looks in the mirror. Unlike the others, who look normal, except when actually exhibiting superpowers, he looks like -- well, he looks like the Hulk, just as the Human Torch looks like the Flash, and the Invisible Woman has some of the same powers as Storm in "X-Men."

So the big question is if you agree and if reviews like this will detour you from seeing the movie on the big screen or catching it on HBO inDemand?
