Fantastic Four

Marvel Comics' first family of superherodom, the Fantastic Four, hits the big screen in a light-hearted and funny adventure. It begins when down-on-his-luck genius Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd, Horatio Hornblower) has to enlist the financial and intellectual help from former schoolmate and rival Victor Von Doom (Julian McMahon, Nip/Tuck) in order to pursue outer-space research into human DNA. Also on the trip are Reed's best friend, Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis, The Shield); his former lover, Sue Storm (Jessica Alba, Dark Angel, Sin City), who's now Doom's employee and love interest; and her hotshot-pilot brother, Johnny Storm (Chris Evans, Cellular). Things don't go as planned, of course, and the quartet becomes blessed--or is it cursed?--with superhuman powers: flexibility, brute strength, invisibility and projecting force fields, and bursting into flame. Meanwhile, Doom himself is undergoing a transformation.


I love the movie which is based on American comic like MARVEL, and most of them have one hero in each movies. But this movie has four heroes! They each have different super power and fight against a villain in cooperation.
However before they could cooperate each other, they often quarreled among themselves. Johnny wanted to stand out because he is hero, but the other thought they should not attract people's attention. This problem is very realistic despite an imoractical world, but it's interesting.
If you can use super power, how would you think?
In my case I would want to stand out but probably hide. That's because I am shy!!!X(
