Trivia:
Reed's speech to General Hager about being a "good little nerd" is taken nearly verbatim from Ultimate Extinction #2 (in there, he was speaking to Nick Fury). moreGoofs:
Plot holes: At various times throughout the film, Reed will stretch, and his clothes with him. In the first film Reed stated that their uniforms could transform with them because they were wearing them at the time of the accident which gave them their powers. Because they weren't involved in the accident, Reed's clothes should not be able to stretch. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Anchorwoman: Last night the F.A.A. was forced to ground all aircraft, leaving thousands stranded, when electronic failures and mysterious power outages crippled the western United States. But the big story today, the much anticipated wedding of fantastic couple Reed Richards and Susan Storm will take place this Saturday.

I am a comic book reader of longstanding, and have enjoyed several of the screen adaptations of comic books, but both Fantastic Four films have been textbook examples of how NOT to translate a comic book to the screen. Seriously, I thought they couldn't make a worse film that the original Fantastic Four, but I have been proved wrong.
From the gratuitous attempts at showing Alba as naked as possible, to the less-than-convincing physical presence of the Thing, to the miscasting of Alba and whoever plays Reed, to the pointless changes in the story, to a bland visual style (performed upon one of the most visually dynamic creations in comic book history) to the endless scenes of dull dialogue. Nothing goes right, here as in the first film. Galactus is a hungry cloud with no actual personality at all, and the obnoxious military man seems totally unaware of who and what the Fantastic Four are. Plot holes, flat acting, uninvolving action scenes. The movie acts as a sort of fraud pulled on comic fandom.
