Saw it today.
Comic Book Fans - It is faithful enough. Not a perfect adaptation, with the story being more akin to the Heroes Reborn FF by Jim Lee, but enough to show promise for the franchise. Michael Chiklis is Ben Grimm, and the relationships of the characters are spot on.
Non-Fans (one of the audience today had never heard of the FF) - Enjoyable, fun summer-action film. Some of the dialogue is cheesy, but all done in a family-friendly kinda way. Kids will love it, and if you can suspend disbelief you will too.
