I did it. I rewatched the 2005 Extended Cut of Fantastic Four. And honestly, it bummed me out only because I realize the follow-on movie with gas-based Galactus was the next step. Yet they had these actors established appropriately right out of the gate. And there are other scenes in the Extended Cut that make it a fun viewing. Like when Alicia makes a sculpture of Ben, and she adds the traditional comic book eyebrows that are just perfect. It gave me hope they planned on going down this path.
Fox should have resisted listening to its own studio executives in modifying character designs the way they did in 'Rise of the Silver Surfer'. That movie had the potential to be a huge win in capable hands.
