The Good: It ran for only 92 minutes.
The Bad: It felt longer than the Lord of the Rings’ trilogy and it sucks in every aspect of filmmaking.
First, there’s the bad screenplay. I don’t really know where they find these screenwriters. It is based on a comic book so ridiculous storyline should’ve been baked right in. But the screenplay is just downright ridiculous, with no story whatsoever. And the jokes, oh my God, is even sadder than the bald Britney Spears. I do remember one joke that is somewhat funny. But still, it does not qualify for a laugh out loud moment.
we are like totally brother and sister, can't you tell???Second, the mismatch cast. Johnny Storm and Sue Storm are siblings, but in this movie, Johnny is Caucasian and Sue is Latina. When the hell is up with that? Even a mongoloid can detect that from afar. Everyone in the movie just seems out of place. I can’t really put my finger on it, but the Fantastic gang just doesn’t go together.
you know, i'm thinking bout joining the gymnastic team whenever i'm in this suitThird, the bad acting. I don’t really know what went wrong here, but the acting is so stiff, I’ve seen a dead body more animated than the actors in this movie. Ioan Gruffudd reminds me of a nervous guy trying to remember his line. Chris Evans, I don’t really know why but he seems angry in every movie I’ve seen him in. Jessica Alba, she’s not really an actress. She’s more like this pretty little thing we see so the movie doesn’t seem so sad. Her ultra super duper blue eyes and fake blonde hair is a total “what the fuck?!” moment. Michael Chiklis was ok, but that is probably because we can’t really see him in that huge orange suit. Julian McMahon was an embarrassment! I cannot believe I actually rooted for him when he was rumoured to play the next James Bond. I know Daniel Craig is ugly, but thank God he got that role instead of Julian. Julian needs to go back to acting school.
you? james bond? keep dreaming!Fourth, the ugly CGI. For you that have seen the movie, can you believe this crap actually cost roughly USD$ 130 million to make? Even Fellowship of the Ring only cost USD$ 93 million to make. I guess they use the money to blueify Jessica Alba’s eyes and bleach her hair because that is the only thing that stands out in this movie. Other than that, most of the special effects looks like it was rendered on a Celeron powered PC.
fuck! i cannot believe i actually agreed to do thisLast but not least, the bad direction. Christopher Nolan got his dark macho style for Batman, Bryan Singer mix and match the mood for X-Men, Sam Raimi take the easy rollercoaster ride and a bag of popcorn for Spider-Man, Ang Lee went for a sad and sappy, almost soap opera-ish take for The Hulk, but Tim Story ruins the whole production by turning Fantastic Four into a piece of garbage. This movie has got to be the worst comic book adaptation that I’ve ever seen. I haven’t watch Ghost Rider yet so that is just conjecture.
I wish I could sue the cinema for such bad crap.
