Lots of fun . . .

Rating: Null/10 (8 October 2007)

At first I thought this was a little too corny but as the film continued it won me over. The light hearted and slightly corn ball comedy mixed with drama and action remind me of the original comic books. In addition the special effects with regard to the silver surfer are first rate. And that his character is complex adds weight to the rest of the movie. When all the aforementioned elements are combined this movie delivers something for everyone. And it's a good movie for the entire family.
To compare a few other super hero franchises, Batman is very dark and gets the crap beaten out of him by the bad guys; Spiderman and Fantastic Four get the bad guys! - are just plain FUN. And in that context what going to a movie about a super hero is all about. If you sit back and let yourself be entertained you'll not be disappointed.
