I think the cast is the best thing about this franchise!
Director: Brad Bird
Reed: Tom Hanks
Sue: Charlize Theron
Johnny: Ryan Phillippe
Ben Grim: CGI voiced by Vin Diesel
Dr.Doom: Daniel Day-Lewis
All the actors were perfect. I would only change Jessica Alba. She's very pretty and actually makes a very good Susan Storm-Richards. However, like Halle Berry in X-men, her ''star appeal'' gets in the way.
I would also change Mary Jane in Spiderman.
Raimi should just get a 200 million dollar contract with Marvel and do all of their movies forever.
I don't think Jessica's star power got in the way. She isn't that well-known. No one in my workplace seems to have heard of her!

Which brings us back to Reese Witherspoon, Bam. Full circle.
...and make more boring movies.
Oh yeah...Spider-Man 2, really boring. Oh, wait. That was a universally acclaimed Superhero classic. The Highest rated super hero movie of all time on Rotten Tomatoes, and one of the only movies of it's genre to have people who have lives enjoy it.
Yeah...what a terrible movie. Raimi's FF would be so much better than Story's it's not even funny.
Reese Witherspoon is a bigger name than Jessica Alba.
Unless you're a single male under 25, more people know Reese Witherspoon's work than Jessica Alba's. Chances are, Reese would actually command a higher dollar.
Sorry, for double posting, but I've come to realize that my ideal Reed Richards and Sue Storm would be Guy Williams and June Lockhart from Lost In Space. I mean look at them! That's Reed and Sue!
