Not too bad at all

Rating: 7/10 (11 July 2005)

After hearing all the fanboys knock this one, I was prepared to really be disappointed with this movie. After all, there have been a couple of other attempts to get a FF movie out. And most of the comic movies (excuse me...graphic novels) have been pretty average.
However, I thought this movie held up pretty well. The graphics were pretty good, the acting was adequate, and the script was great. I was not disappointed, go see this movie.
Note to all the 'true to the source' idiots out there...to be true to the source, you'd have to realize that these are just comics and the source is pen and ink, not real people. I thought Jessica Alba was great as Sue Storm! If she is not Aryan enough for some, too bad, you boys can go back to your closet, iron your sheets, and wait for the next rally. Why does her background have to match your expectations? I mean for hundreds of years, Jesus Christ was portrayed as white? And who complained? Who knew? Anyway this movie is definitely worth the matinée price I paid, and even for those of you who like to pay full price, it would be worth full admission.
