Up until now, it was a foregone conclusion that while Iron Man was certainly one of the more popular Marvel Comics superheroes created by Stan Lee to emerge from the early 60s, he wasn’t an instantly recognizable icon like Spider-Man, the Hulk or the Fantastic Four. It was also safe to say that while Robert Downey Jr. was widely looked upon as one of the finest actors of his generation, he wasn’t an A-list star like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks or Julia Roberts, whose names above the title were guaranteed to open a movie.

If hindsight is twenty-twenty, then looking back, I may have been a little too unforgiving in my initial review of the first “Fantastic Four.”
Then again, I probably expected a lot, since it followed the likes of 2003's “X2: X-Men United,” 2004's “Spider-Man 2” and 2005's “Batman Begins,” which were all graced with more emotional depth and maturity than a superhero flick probably deserves. I had no idea that I was in for a cheesy, lighthearted romp that was geared more towards families, so of course I was disappointed. But when I saw it again on cable about a year later, I realized that it wasn't half bad, and I was able to appreciate it for what it was.
