Not the best of this Summer...

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2007)

First off I want to say that I found Spider Man 3 a much more enjoyable movie going experience. The highlight of the Fantastic Four 2 was definitely the Silver Surfer. The story line seemed pretty solid, but there were weaknesses and these centered around the Doom character. I just didn't buy into it or it wasn't done with enough clarity or purpose and unfortunately it just made the movie weaker. Jessica Alba looked terrible in the first half of the movie but that did improve. I loved the Torch in the first movie and that attitude, for the most part, carried over into the second. But even then it wasn't as good and again, it was the surfer that pretty much stole the show. Mr Fantastic had the most dominant role and that came through very well in this movie.
This could have been better, but it was still worth seeing. It's a short film with some rushed, spotty plot line and I have to wonder what was wrong with Abla in the first few scenes, weird. JD
