Sci-Fi Highschool comedy

Rating: 5/10 (28 August 2007)

There have been a LOT of Marvel/Mutant/Superhero-movies produced lately, and the quality ranges from "really stinking bad" (Daredevil someone?) to "Whoopaaa!" (X-men 1). So is the sequel to the first mediocre Fantastic 4 movie a new blockbuster? Unfortunately, the answer is NO. There is no tension in this film, what so ever. Despite the fact that the world stands before a great peril, there is no feeling of despair, no sense of danger or even some signs that the members in the fantastic four feel a little uncomfortable.
Effects are good and the Silver-Surfer himself looks really cool. Jessica Alba is so over-the-edge sweet that you could slice her up and sell her as candy. But in the end, this is nothing than a Highschool old fashion comedy about the nerd and the good looking girl wrapped up in a little Sci-Fi and spiced with some nonsense science.
