Pretty disappointing...even when you save it for HBO

Rating: 4/10 (31 March 2007)

Pros:
+ 1. Jessica Alba in her underwear
+ 2. Some nice special effects- The Human Torch, the final showdown
+ 3. A couple of the Human Torches one lines were actually funny
+ 4. Nice movie score by John Ottman
Cons:

1. Jessica Alba trying to act

2. Taking a fairly serious source material and turning it into a cheesy, slapstick movie that fails to be funny or clever

3. Some very bad special effects-The Thing's obviously rubber costume-Mr. Fantastic stretching like someone made it on Photoshop

4. Julian McMahon's less then mediocre performance ruins what should have been one of the most iconic film villains of all time

5. Letting the director of "Taxi" with Queen Latifah direct this movie

6. "Why the long face Reed?" line
