Plodding plot

Rating: 4/10 (11 July 2005)

Here is a simple case of great ingredients sprinkled into a poor recipe. That recipe being the plot. What was it that Doom was trying to do anyway? Take back his company? Get revenge? Even the over-done moment where the villain implores the hero/heroes to join him would have made better sense. Doom didn't even sound European to begin with. I'm getting side tracked.
Johnny Storm stole the show. This kid was the ONLY reason to keep watching and put up with blatant plot inconsistencies. Why did Sue have to get through the crowd at the bridge? How did that help the others navigate the way through? Only Johnny could save this train wreck. Instead of trying to save the Thing, why not try to save the group from fame. The issue was hinted at, but never followed through. The obligatory X-games scene was the most worthless scene yet in a comic book film. Weakly motivated and poorly justified. I guess the only reason was to have the team reach some weak conflict.
Everything else...blah. iehf[ haognkld'jsthia n'kivho'...kill me.
