Mr Fantastic, The Invisable Woman, The Thing, The Human Torch,
That well known team, only sidelined by Mr T and the rest of the A-Team.
They have had their own film before. And boy was it average. Although this time, they are given the helping silver hand of the silver surfer. Marvel’s coolest character ever? Possibly.
As with my earlier review of Spiderman, it goes without saying that the special effects in this are breath-taking. I am positive any film from now on with a marvel name can expect this kind of treatment. So go get yourself a high def TV, a blu-ray player and a copy of this. Who cares if its worth the money, it will physically rattle your senses…
One huge bugbear of mine about this film. Was the portrayel of Galactus and The Silver Surfer. Galactus was such a completely different character to the comic books that he shouldnt of even had the same name. This sounds like something that only elitist comic nerds would complain about (partially true) but what were they thinking, making such a hugely well known character so ridiculously different. Its like handing angry fans a loaded pistol and asking them not to shoot the director. Tempting.
Aside from this, the film works. The storyline is entertaining in a very hollywood way. Johnny Flames firey emotions play off against the silver surfers enigmatic icey persona perfectly. This makes for some great banter, although slightly juvenile, clearly aimed at keeping the pg audience and attending fanboys satisfied.
Worth watching just to hear Reed’s “i got a sexy girlfriend by being a nerd…haha!” speech.
Approxamately 250% better than the original, and 500% more polished. 6/10
