Good lord, what a piece of garbage

Rating: 1/10 (1 July 2007)

This movie is awful in every degrading sense of the word. I hated it, and I honestly can not understand how anyone above the age of 11 can like this. I realize that it is a movie for children, but does that mean that the movie should be bad, because children does not have a fully developed sense of what is good and what is not?
"Let's just make a movie without really caring about the outcome, because children love famous and pretty people, and doesn't know a bad story from a good one, so they'll be happy no matter what!" - Tim Story I can envision the director telling the crew this in the beginning of production.
The direction was below average, and it was quite evident because the whole movie felt like a string of random scenes cut together, with way too much focus on all sorts of stupid things that had nothing to do with the story. Why did they put the scene with the bear in there, for example? Was it important? No, it certainly was not, let me tell you.
The acting was as well lousy. The worst of the lot was Jessica Alba. Sure, she's a pretty face, but nothing more, but I suppose they put her in the FF-movies because of just that. The others in the ensemble are better than her, but that doesn't make them good. Chris Evans was OK in Sunshine, so why did he decide to suck in this one? I don't get it.
Another thing, if Galactus was so powerful, and he was the one who gave the Surfer his powers, then why would the Silver Surfer be able to destroy Galactus just by surfing into him? Seems the Devourer of Planets would handle something like that. While I'm on the subject, a villain in the form of a silvery man on a surfboard is just stupid.
I'm just gonna end this review now, because this movie frankly isn't worth commenting on anymore - it is a very, very bad movie and you should be able to tell (but judging from the comments on the official MySpace-page to the film, most people might not realize it)if your IQ is higher than your waist measurement. Go watch Transformers instead - at least that one is entertaining.
