it's true that the F4 superhero costumes do cover the actors' entire bodies, including Ms. Alba's. However, it may be worth mentioning that, in the wedding scene where she attempts to marry Mr. Fantastic, Alba wears a strapless wedding gown that exposes a goodly amount of skin, and that there is a subliminally quick flash of her naked (to explain why would constitute a plot spoiler, so I won't bother). So it's not as though the movie makers were intending to rely entirely on the quality of her acting. To the extent she's supposed to be *playing*, as the USA Today reporter claimed, a "strong woman," she's not very convincing in my book.
