Fat Harry on Fantastic Four

In a recent Wired article on the marketing bludgeon that is Fantastic Four, Avi Arad assured the writer that "even fat Harry's on board." Fat Harry, as all good geeks know, is the proprietor of Austin, TX based Ain't It Cool News, a one stop geek-n-fanboy gossip palace on the internet. Harry is one of those enyclopedic film geeks who, like Tarantino and his ilk, seem to have seen every movie once, ever genre move three times and, from the great to the horrible, love it all. The man wrote raves of both Matrix Revolutions and the Emerich/Devlin Godzilla fercrissakes.

And he's not too kind to Fantastic Four. He starts his review by calling the movie "mediocre, badly designed, lit - and in some cases - acted."

Care to revise your statement, Avi?
