doug jones is the man

Rating: 3/10 (17 June 2007)

This movie can be summarized with the sentence Doug Jones is the man. That was the only good thing about the movie. The special effects fight scenes with Doug Jones as the silver surfer were perfect. He maybe the best physical actors out there right now. It is a shame there are no more silent films because that man would own the screen. The rest of the acting was bad and somehow Jessica Alba did not look that good. There was little to no chemistry between cast members. I realized that this goes back to classic Fantastic Four, but the whole point of doing these movies is that we get to modernize them. I don't want them to be so hokey. But the only reason this movie did not get a lower rating was because of Doug Jones. Before we go any further what was up with Galactus. They totally did not address any of that. We understood he was a threat but he was an awesome force to be reckoned with. Silver Surfer just cannot go up and blow himself up and kill Galactus. Number one Galactus gave Silver Surfer his power and he would give him enough to let him KILL Galactus. One just does not kill Galactus like that. It was dumb. But back to the one good thing. Doug Jones was perfect and when he was off the board he was even better. That makes me wish that they do a Silver Surfer movie. Oh yeah the stupid one liners made me want to hurt someone. Stan Lee's cameo was really good but overall the 20 minutes of Silver Surfer was the only cool thing of the movie.
