Just seen this yesterday.  It's a refreshing take on the classic first family of Marvel.  It was rather predictable at times, but it was still enjoyable.  Mid-credits scene was great, but was disappointed with the post credit scene.  I take it that some of the classic cartoons they used was newly animated since it has an uncanny resemblance to Pedro Pascal.  I also remember watching the original cartoons as a kid, and Reed doesn't look like that.

Haha, yeah, the cartoons were new, just done in the old style.

I also found it kind of predictable, but kind of in a good way... In that the events happened the way I wanted them to, so it worked out for me. I liked the general feel of the movie. It didn't feel like a standard Marvel movie, and had its own style. I can appreciate what they were going for with it. It's not one with badass scenes that I will revisit often... But as a whole it was a good movie. Definitely the best Fantastic Four movie out of all of them.

But yeah, post credits scene was disappointing as I would have liked a bit more set up for Doomsday... But I guess we'll just have to wait for the next one... Which is sadly about a full year away... And then 5 months later than that for Doomsday itself.
