Can't write it any worse

Rating: 4/10 (6 July 2007)

What a complete waste of amazing CGI and potential great story line. It's almost mind numbing how bad they wrote/directed this movie. To get an idea of what the movie is like, think Power Rangers or Batman & Robin (with Schwarzenegger). Instead of a mature treatment along the lines of X-men I,II, or Batman Begins, I felt like I was watching a Disney movie. Every time the F4 got together, I was half expecting to hear some "Let's go team!" kind of cheese.
The commercials, especially with great voice-overs from Laurence Fishburne as the Silver Surfer, lead me to believe there was going to be some great, intelligent dialogue between the characters. I hear the Surfer Silver say "All that you know is at an end" and expect it to be the beginning of some intelligent dialogue about why he's here, what's going to happen, etc. Instead, he just leaves it at that and flies away. I was like, WTF?? That's it?? "Perhaps later", I thought. Nope, that was as deep as the movie got, I kid you not. Basically, there isn't really a story line. Just another Power Ranger-ish episode.
And the acting? Alba and Evans are a complete joke. Perhaps that explains the Disney treatment. I could go on and on about why this movie sucks. The people who gave this movie 9 or 10 stars, I would love to know what their average IQ is - just out of curiosity.
