I was totally surprised

Rating: 6/10 (8 July 2005)

I really went in thinking this movie was going to bite and I would be embarrassed to admit that I'd seen it. I was wrong. It was good. Really good. The dude that played Johnny Storm was fantastic. The Thing's make-up was a bit of a disappointment, but after a while, it didn't seem to matter. The special effects were great, well-done. Not half-ass-ed CGI at all. I'd totally recommend it to anyone looking for a great, fun summer flick. There's nothing parents would find objectionable for kids. There's nothing Christians, Muslims, Hindis or Jews might find offensive either. I have to write ten lines to get this thing posted, which means that I'm just going to blather on for the next couple of lines to flush out my full ten line minimum. Who can write for ten lines?
