cutie’s review: 3 cute guys and a cute girl. i like the way the fire guy flies around. good movie!
my review:…
ok, i enjoyed the movie overall. i don’t think it deserves all the bad reviews it got, any more than batman deserves all the rave reviews. that said, ff was a pretty mediocre movie with a less than mediocre story and mediocre acting.
there are BIG HUGE gaping holes in the story…so put on your suspension of belief goggles. but the movie really kept a lot of the good elements of the ff stories in place. the feeling of the ff being one big family was decent, especially with the thing and the human torch. michael chiklis…man, it’s amazing what that guy can project through all that make-up, especially with his eyes.
jessica alba…rowrl…but i believe she’s a head geneticist just slightly more than i believed elisabeth shue developed cold fusion in the saint. she’s certainly got that whole “you-talkin’-ta-me” attitude down…too bad that’s about it.
ioan gruffudd as mr. fantastic. he’s got a few decent moments and that’s about it. yawn.
doctor doom…ok, movie producers just can’t get megalomaniac villains right…except for magneto in x-men. but s***…ian mckellen…but i digress…yeah…um…dr doom…sucks…big…time…
but you know what? i still enjoyed the movie. it’s lightweight fluff with problems, but still not nearly as bad as everyone is saying. i’d give it a b-/c+
