Anyone got anymore info on the 1994 version? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.194.68.22 ( talk • contribs) 12:29, 12 April 2005

At the risk of picking holes, the plot summary never tells us who Ben Grimm is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.79.38.74 ( talk • contribs) 19:35, 27 July 2005
I believe the real title for the movie is actually Fantastic 4. I think so because on the DVD case, that's how it's labeled. Also, in the movie, I think it shows the logo with a 4 on it. I think the page should be renamed. Anyone else?--M2K e 01:21, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't want to sound nitpicky, but the "plot elements were clearly inspired by Ultimate Fantastic Four" line in the Trivia section seems to be more of a personal opinion. All arguments about how close it is to Ultimate Fantastic Four aside, I think unless that can be backed up by something from, say, the commentary tracks then that item should be removed.-- MythicFox 10:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
In the trivia section, it lists that Jessica Alba was given the part of invisible Woman "reluctantly" by the casters. Now, it's clear that she wasn't the first choice, but does that necessarily mean they were reluctant to give her the part? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.127.207.168 ( talk • contribs) 23:07, 10 February 2007
The page contained the line "* Paul Walker was considered for the role of Johnny Storm but he was considered too young." This doesn't make any sense, considering the actor that played Johnny is nearly ten years younger than Paul Walker. If there are references that support it, then anyone who would like to can add it again and cite it. BOne 19:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
When the group are finding about their powers, they test Johnny in a chamber to see how hot he can get. From memory, Reeds says something about approaching a nova at 6000 degrees, and that it would burn all the oxygen in the atmosphere. The script from IMSDb says the following:
SUE You were at 4000 Kelvin. Any hotter, you're approaching supernova --
JOHNNY Sweet.
SUE That's the temperature of the sun.
REED Not only could you kill yourself, but you could set fire to Earth's atmosphere and destroy all human life as we know it.
JOHNNY Gotcha. Okay. Supernova bad.
However, that's not truthful; the surface temperature of the Sun is around 5000 Kelvin, but the center of our star peaks at about 15,000,000 Kelvin - And our star isn't even big or old enough to cause a supernova until at least several billion years into the future. Perhaps this little morsel should be listed under 'Trivia'. - Xander T. 05:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
A major disappointment with the movie was the choice of casting, as neither Alba nor Evans have natural blond hair.
THAT is why the casting was dissapointing? It makes no sense. I suppose Chiklis' casting was a major disappointment since he doens't actually have orange, rocky skin.
Either reference something tangible, like performance: (Alba was wooden), or age (Alba is not old enough to be a contemporary of Reed Richards) but to claim that the issue with casting was actors hair color is absurd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stonesean ( talk • contribs) 16:20, 6 May 2007
Should it be noted that Johnny Storm's liscence plate, which reads "TORCH'D", could be a reference to an internet cartoon site, homestarrunner.com? -- 16_BIT_MARIO1
I've only ever seen this film on DVD and my understanding is the fourth wall-breaking joke involving Reed turning into Wolverine was only a deleted scene and not included in the theatrical version. Can anyone confirm that the joke did in fact appear in the movie when it played theatres, as the article indicates? (It's not too hard a stretch to imagine this did happen -- in the sequel Reed looks right at the camera in several scenes). But sounds a bit unlikely. 23skidoo 19:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Is this plot description from the film or from the extended edition? If it's the latter, it should be moved to that section. - Lwc4life ( talk) 00:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Why is this even mentioned in the article? The reason why he said it was to match Doom's question of heating/cooling rubber when he was trying to kill Reed. It is pointless to have only one of them phrases in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.6.18 ( talk • contribs) 21:43, 1 December 2008
are the Fantastic Four , Daredevil and the x-men films in the same universe due to the fact that they belong to FOX
This film is in the category Prequel films - why? What does it prequel? David ( talk) 19:22, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
Noob here - reluctant to make that first edit...but in the sequel section it explains "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was released on June 15, 2007, and was regarded as being better than its predecessor, but still lacked the flair of the genre and the essence of the comic. Metacritic gave it 45% from 45 people. The sequel earned less at the box office than the first one, and managed to churn out $289,047,763."
Firstly - is any of this information necessary - rather, is it enough for it to just point towards the main article? If it is necessary, then is "churn out" appropriate language? Would not "The sequel earned less at the box office then the first one, but still managed to earn $289,047,763" be more in the manner of an encyclopedia? I know what the person who wrote this means, and "churn out" is a popular informal phrase for cinema takings, however just don't think quite fits here. Greg1138 ( talk) 03:44, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
Looks good - thanks! Greg1138 ( talk) 05:28, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
Why the ship, on which Doctor Doom is being transported back to Latveria is called Головка пальца ноги? Do you even understand what does it mean in Russian? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.190.194.119 ( talk) 17:47, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
Because this film was also produced by Constantin Film it should be mentioned that it is a american-german Co Production. Any complaints? Otherwise I will change that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.210.102.79 ( talk) 21:23, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
