For children

Rating: 1/10 (5 August 2005)

This movie was obviously designed for children, and that does not forgive it for lacking any sort of depth or character interest whatsoever.
The director, Tim Story (Barbershop, Taxi), obviously has no experience with this kind of film and it shows.
The plot is full of non sequiturs and illogical plot points (the most grievous instance being when the Human Torch goes snowboarding/jumping out of a helicopter with his underwear model/nurse about three seconds after they meet)
Full of cheesy one-liners (the only funny ones being shown in the trailer, along with the only interesting action, which lasted for all of ten minutes of the movie)
I would only recommend this movie for small children, and even then I think there are plenty of more worthy films for them to watch released this summer (Willy Wonka, Sky High, etc.) Look at the reviews by the critics, they speak for themselves.
