fantastic four? So far, these films are not giving these characters credit

Rating: 5/10 (4 July 2007)

firstly, I agree with a few comments I have read saying the silver surfer deserves better. The surfer was not given as much credit as he should have. Of course, fans of the Fantastic Four will know what it means when the Silver Surfer comes along (hint hint) but not enough respect to such a character was made. So far, I have not been impressed at all with any of the two films, neither the first or the sequel. As comics to films go, so far Fantastic Four has to be one of the worst for holding the attention. Of course, we are always rewarded at some point at the end of the film, but I was nearly ready to fall asleep at a few points! I sat wide awake through all the relationship and talk dribble of Spider-man 3 for Christ's sake. And this film is worse than worse. You would do better to read the good comics (or even the cartoon series!) Of course, it is nice seeing these comic characters being brought to the big screen and seeing them in action, but this film did not deliver on what I was expecting, or what I thought it was going to be.
I give it 5/10 very average. But I would not purchase it on DVD. If I was you, do not even pay to go and see it at the cinema. Maybe rent it someday for a quiet weekend. You'll sleep quickly - trust me
