Fantastic Four

[Schimid]

Not so good.

The movie takes way too long to set up, and tries way too hard to keep the idea that the superheroes are just humans with crazy powers fighting someone who wants to become some all-powerful God. It takes way too much time making it's main heroes human and way too little time with the crazy kung fu whachow action.

There's only one big fight scene in the whole thing. One. And I think that's the main problem with this movie, that there's no real build-up between the bad guy and the good guys. Bad guy gets super-powers, good guys stop him, that's kind of it.

Mr. Fantastic got gypped by the way. Fuck that power. When compared to a guy that can light himself on fire at will and fly. We spent the whole movie making up new names for him like Mr. Underwhelming and Mr. Overstatement.

Anyway it sucked.
