Painful 4: The death of a series

Rating: 1/10 (31 August 2008)

I was reading through the other comments for this movie, and was very surprised when I actually found some positive remarks on this movie, so I decided to write a comment myself.
First of all, I'm not a Fantastic 4 fan at all, so this is not a die hard review from a comic book fan, however this does not save the movie at all.
There are actually more problems in this movie then can be explained in writing if you seek to understand what makes this movie hell on earth, I suggest you sit down and watch it, if you take this reviewers opinion on how bad it is I would however stay far far away from it.
Problems: Jessica Alba's acting is worse then ever, its heart breaking to see such a nice piece of ass be so insanely bad at acting.
Special effects where bad, and I mean REALLY bad, I know people have been saying that "uhh the silver surfer was sooo shiny", well pal of mine that doesn't mean squad. IF you want to base an entire movie on special effects they better be up to the challenge, but they aren't special effects in most computer games are way better.
Flame on looks like a yellow retard with goofy lights shining.
The Thing still looks like a jelly man, not at all convincing that he is made of stone.
Mr. Fantastic, has a horrifying dancing scene that will make you puke bad effects for a week.
But if the special effects, and the acting weren't bad enough, the plot tops them all delivering a mindblowingly bad story. Alba's char. is so badly developed that she is plain annoying, she worries more about her marriage then the end of the earth, Goodjob for a superhero woman. And to be honest I really can't remember the ending except the good guys winning, don't know how, I saw this movie once when it came out, and I actually forgot ever seeing it, so when i saw it again today, I felt like when big bad dejavu ala. Matrix changing my death from a car accident, to drowning.
I must say, if they manage to scoop up another billion dollar for another painful film, I would be very surprised, and I really hope it doesn't happen, cause damn we deserve to be rid of painful big budget movies like this piece of crap. This is worse then when Joel Schumacher destroyed (atleast for a time) the Batman series, until our savior Nolan came along.
There is a small chance for saving this shitty series, hire Nolan, fire A lot, and kill of some actors... All of them.
