Boring, uneventful, stupid and just unlikable

Rating: 4/10 (23 April 2010)

I didn't like the original Fantastic Four very much but I thought it did a good job of reinventing the superhero genre for a younger audience. This film is just bad. It starts off with the clichéd doomed marriage and progresses through a mire of bad acting, unlikable characters, a stupid plot and a terrible script to what has to be one of the worst films I've seen in a long time. The original was unbelievable, but in superhero films that's OK, but there should be a certain degree of reality, and here there is nothing. The characters were just unlikable to the point where I just didn't care about them, and don't even get me started on the acting. The only plus was the impressive special effects, but to be honest there is no other reason to watch this film.
