Entertaining but hokey

Rating: 6/10 (11 July 2005)

Very loyal to the comic book feel, but it wasn't much of a 'human' story. It might have been more interesting if the characters had been more surprised about their new found powers/conditions. Aside from the Things character, everyone else was like "Hey I'm a complete freak, but oh well, back to business."
It might have been more interesting if the story had focused more on each individuals personal demons and nightmares while dealing with their new strangeness.
I know it's based on a comic book, but I think a story is more interesting if peoples actions are a little more believable according to their situation. It's like saying the 'normal' laws of emotions all of a sudden don't apply and it makes the whole story hard to swallow.
