Technically any good? While there are a couple plot holes, the script is pretty consistent--no setting up rules only to break them seconds later here (all right, there were like 2 instances of this). That acting was fine, and while I originally didn't care for anyone's casting but Chiklis' as The Thing, I liked everyone more than I expected. FX were pretty solid aside from a few places where Reed's stretching didn't look like it existed in real space. As far as it being an adaption of the comic, I was very impressed. The story and tone were very nearly spot on when compared to the first few years of the original FF comic. Sure, they're superheros in costumes and there is a lot of unrealistically hi-tech equipment laying around, but hey, that's what was fun about the comic.
How did it leave me feeling? While it's not some amazing film, I did enjoy it easily as much as the X-Men movies. I'd definitely pay to see a sequel, although if the trailer makes it look like crap, I might think twice. In the end, this is the kind of movie I like to call "escapist fun" and not movies like National Treasure or The Island.
Final Rating? SIYL (This is a fun scifi movie that doesn't concern itself with the human condition, so if you're looking for anything with a message, go see Batman Begins.)
