Fantastic Four: Rise of the silver surfer

Here is my review -

If you are going to go and see this movie, spare yourself the trouble. I would suggest slamming your hand in a doorway as a suitable alternative. It's a similar experience, and you can explain your whereabouts to friends and family with less embarassment.

Man it's a piece of shit. The only thing that comes anywhere near to a saving grace is the back and forth between Thing & Torch. Apart from that it sucks. I also can't help but wonder who came up with the idea to have Doctor Doom in this movie as well. He was shit in the first film - putting him in this film doesn't make him less shit. Shittyness isn't like magnetic charges. Two shitty appearances don't cancel each other out - they add together for double the shittyness.

So yeah - don't go and see the Fantastic Four film. Go and see 'Flying Scotsman' instead. It's a film about a hobbit on a bike riding in circles - and just by having that much plot, it's guaranteed to be better than Fantastic Four.

That's actually quite brilliant Joe.

I'm finding your film reviews of popcorn films a little misleading... I mean holy shit, let's get a grip on reality here, this is a comic book movie adaption aimed at sub-teens... And you're complaining because of the lack of plot? Sweet Zombie Jesus man, you don't go to a convent expecting hot tittilating lapdancing, and you don't go to a popcorn movie expecting a plotline and/or an intelligent discussion of contemprary issues.

I think you may need to address your expectations rather than judging the film harshly.....!
