Video Description

There are a lot of Fantastic Four films out there -- cartoons, too. And yet so many of them seem to be disappointing. Almost all of them, as a matter of fact. Why do Reed Richards, The Human Torch, Invisible Woman, and The Thing struggle to get properly adapted? What's stopping Doctor Doom and Galactus from reaching their peak?
