Steaming pile

Rating: 1/10 (23 January 2006)

Pros: None come to mind
Cons: Out of all the comic-book/video-game driven movies of the past few years this is by far one of the absolute WORST! I mean this thing is on par with Batman and Robin, which as we all know set the bar pretty low for bad movies. Besides the fact that the plot is completely inane, not a single one of the actors could make his/her character even slightly believable. Now this is probably due to the paper-thin source material; but many of the scenes felt almost awkward, as if the actors themselves didn't even want to be spouting this drivel. I realize that comic book plots are not supposed to be realistic, and I accept that. But this movie fails on every level not just plot (dialog, character development, basic acting skill, walking and chewing gum at the same time...) Even if you have a sick fetish for Alba, that does not justify seeing this movie. And let's not forget the biggest tragedy of all: Fantastic Four 2.
Other Thoughts: Avoid this movie at all costs. If you're at a party and someone even suggests it, just walk out. You'll thank me later, you don't need those kind of friends.
