Boring and badly acted, more suitable for kids than adults

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2009)

This was a crashing bore the first time I saw it. Repeat viewings have made it slightly more palatable, but it's still not very good. There'a a corny beginning with the four getting their powers. Jessica Alba looks beautiful but simply can't act. Ioan Gruffudd is too stiff as the leader Reed Richards while Julian Macmohan is laughably over-the-top as the teeth gnashing villain Dr Doom. Only Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis leave any sort of impression. The dialog is very corny and seems tailored for young kids. One saving grace: the Special Effects. Kids may like it but adults beware.
Overall 4/10
