not great but not bad

Rating: 5/10 (27 July 2005)

Now this movie doesn't exactly make you jump out of your seat in excitement but it doesn't exactly make you want to leave the cinema. Now i have heard some people say that the torch is just as annoying as jar jar but Chrisy Evans does a pretty good job as the torch and he really doesn't appear annoying at all in the movie(except to the thing which will give you a slight laugh). One thing that is a bit annoying is that Julian McMahon's performance as doctor doom at one point the doc is looking for the invisible girl (sue storm) and he says Marco polo just that it sounds so cheesy Dr doom saying Marco polo. The one thing i don't understand is the way some people have responded to the movie (not mentioning any names-comics2film.com) it isn't too serious the movie has its own charm and seriousness think of making a fantastic 4 movie from what the comic book was like in the 60's it would just be cheesy and camp (like a Joel Schumacher version of fantastic four). To finish my comment off this movie is not great but a decent flick that you could see with your family.
