A Very Uninteresting Movie!

Rating: 2/10 (24 November 2006)

Fantastic Four *
2005 was a year with only a few great movies based on graphic novels or comic books. To me the best were Batman Begins and the Director's Cut of Sin City. Both incredible films. Fantastic Four isn't however. It is actually one of the worst films of 2005. The cartoon series was so good because the characters were really into their powers but here the character seem that they know what powers they are going to get and it's nothing new to them. To be honest, I was rooting for Dr. Doom to kill all four of them to avoid a sequel which we all know is coming. The movie avoids clique comic book films but by doing that, the movie also avoids the intelligence and the competence of the characters. The movie really plays us for dumb. The movie assumes that we are not familiar to these characters and therefore makes no afford to properly introduce us to them. Spend more time on the characters like Spider-Man 2 does and less on plot and special effects on the sequel.
