This film is so bad.

Rating: 1/10 (27 December 2007)

Where do I even begin? I read comic books as a child in my younger adult years. The Fantastic Four was one of my favorites. I stopped reading due to 2 reasons. #1. The price of comic books #2. The quality of writing. Before you say that I am just a comic book geek, I am not that. I have a job, relationship and live in the real world.
I can remember every story, character and cover of all the FF books that I read over a span of 25 years. I gave this film the benefit of the doubt, as the Silver Surfer stories were some of the best written. The first FF film was really bad. Lame story, lame casting and one of the worst portrayal of a villain I have ever seen in any media. But hey, the Silver Surfer and Galactus were going to be in this sequel, can't go wrong with the world devourer. Boy, was I wrong.
The Surfer looked like Ultraman from the old 1967 series from Japan. Galactus looked like an inferior "V'ger" from the first Star Trek movie. So, the Surfer simply changes his mind and does a kamikaze into the heart of "Galactus"? How can a being or any entity give enough power, to someone that serves it, to destroy the entity it serves????? It makes no sense whatsoever. Horrible writing.
Now, let's get to the acting. Two words, Jessica Alba. Who the hell cast her originally in these movies? Sure, she's a piece of ass but she couldn't act her way out of a dog food commercial. Bad casting and even worse acting. Was it me or was I the only one that thought her lips were going to explode at any moment? She could die of chapped lips.
None of these characters transfers into "real life" ala "Spider-Man", "Batman" or Superman. It simply does NOT work. This is nothing but yet another BABYSITTER movie. Something the little kids would like and the preteens can go see because it is ANOTHER PG-13 movie that their parents can dump them off at for a few hours.
That is what 95% of movies are made for nowadays. Baby sitting. That is why the pressure to get your film in at PG-13, so the kiddies can go see it at the mall.
Thank God for the Cohen Brothers and other filmmakers who have the balls to make films like "No Country for Old Men". Spend your $9.75 to support films like that instead of sewage like this waste of 92 minutes of my life. I can never get that back.
