Family Friendly Super Hero Fun... Just.

Rating: 5/10 (14 July 2014)

I've never been a huge fan of the FF even in the comic book world. I find them boring and out-dated, so when I hear about the big Hollywood adaptation and knowing what Hollywood had on the cards from Marvel studios, I was a little excited!
But I needn't have been.
The result seemed so tame in another case of what could have been, dropping a lot of the dark side of Doom for that family PG label... Pity.
Don't get me wrong, there is a number of great and exciting moments - that my kids love. A great scene with the handsome Chris Evans in a towel (coat) and some fun action - but so cheesy its hilarious!
The acting is somewhat bearable, and scripting and direction slightly lazy. Lets hope the remake (2015) FF film gives us something better... but then again, with a black Jonny Storm I'm already asking what the hell?!?
