lackluster superhero movie

Rating: 4/10 (15 September 2006)

This movie fails in comparison to recent superhero movies like Spiderman or Superman or X-men. The special effects are not as good. They sort of looked cheesy, especially Mr. Fantastic's stretching arm. BTW, how does his clothes stretch with his arm. For instance, in one scene he's writing on a chalkboard wearing a white lab coat. The coat stretches with the arm. How is that possible? The plot wasn't that great. Simply not as interesting as the X-men movies. The film has there best actor, Michael Chiklis, on the back burner, and most of the time looking like a scary rock.
The movie tries to have a few cute, funny scenes, but they fail. Like shaving cream on the Thing's hand while sleeping during the short musically skit. It was out of place and not funny.
FINAL VERDICT: I don't know why they are making a sequel to this. It's a waste of money. 12 year old boys may like this but I think most people would rather skip it.
