5/10 for the Surfer

Rating: 5/10 (25 June 2007)

Lame, lame, lame. That's the only word that comes to mind when I think of this movie. I went mostly because I wanted some real popcorn. I grew up with super heroes like Batman, Superman and the Fantastic Four. It's just too bad that number one Hollywood has become so devoid of original ideas that they have to keep doing the same thing over and over again and number two its too bad that if they are going to use Marvel material that they don't take the time to get it right. The other thing that really ticks me off is that Hollywood also seems to be devoid of good writing. If a good writer had been on this film it might have been much better. The subplot might have been interesting to explore if it hadn't been messed up by cheesy, stupid dialog. The whole issue of fame is a much needed discussion for our times. Too bad that a good writer couldn't be found within hundred miles of Hollywood. I am so tired of bad to mediocre I could barf.
