A Quick Movie Review
Just got back from seeing Fantastic 4. Someone had commented that you see most of the action sequences in the previews... yeah... pretty much. The Comish did a great job as The Thing. The guy from Charmed is obviously made to play self-absorbed bad guys. I'd never heard of Johnny, and the guy who played Reed was in King Arthur (but that was all I remember him from). Ah, yes... and then there's Sue... played by Jessica Alba. You guys (read "males") know the only reason most of you want to see this movie is to ogle Ms. Alba in that skin tight jumpsuit. I dare you to deny it.
All in all, it wasn't a bad movie. Not a great movie, but definitely not a bad movie. A bit of a weak script, but the actors did really well with what they had. Special effects were great (duh... if a movie doesn't have good effects, someone should be fired immediately). I'm not sure I'd want to see it again in the theaters, but if the boys get the dvd at some point, I wouldn't leave the room, either.
Speaking of the boys... T1 asked if they were going to make Fantastic 4-2 (only he said "Fantastic Forty-Two"... I thought it was funny.)
Go see it (at a matinee). Not bad for older kids (the bad guy really has some sociopathic tendencies that might freak out little kids). It's worth the cost of the popcorn.
