So-so

Rating: 6/10 (14 January 2014)

There were a few things a liked about this film such as Michael Chiklis as The Thing (he also gets the best laughs in the film), Johnny showing a serious side to him, Alba in that skin tight outfit (we get some nice shots of her from behind), Laurence Fishburne's voice as The Silver Surfer (who better?) and Simon Webbe's song "Ride the storm" is awesome.
But there are many things I disliked such as Alba's acting, her obviously fake hair, the fact that the military were stupid enough to trust Von Doom (did they not know what Von Doom tried to do to New York?), the Surfer's main reason for destroying planets is just explained in a very lazy "Because I must." Why? Also, I'm suppose to sympathise with a character who destroys innocent planets and kills innocent beings? And Sue's death scene was ruined by Alba's woodenness and from being very clichéd. And you gotta love how she dies. She just moves her head down and just has her eyes open.
Also in that scene, Von Doom throws his spear at the Surfer and he doesn't run out of the way, so Sue sacrifices herself. How about using an invisible force field to knock the spear away, Sue? Like you always do.
Also, how did the Fantastic 4's car get from America to Serbia very fast? And how were they able to get from Sebria to China really fast?
Answer: Cos in Movie Land, you get from country to country in under 5 minutes.
Another factual error is that when the helicopter crashes onto the roof and the blades are heading towards the blind girl. How comes she didn't hear it coming towards her and just stood there not knowing? Remember a blind person sense of hearing is a lot stronger.
Also, the Mr Fantastic stretching effects still look weak and as for The Silver Surfer's reason for saving Sue: She reminded him of his girlfriend. So out of all the beings on every planet you destroyed, you just happened to find a being who looked just like your girlfriend?
Earth is saved at the end, but shouldn't we feel sorry for the other planets Galactus destroyed? Ah, screw 'em. We're the best planet in the Universe. Who cares?
