Fantastic Four 2 Review


I red the script from the first movie in “The Making Of” book before the movie was released. I was disappointed with the theatrical version, the character developments were taken out, and the movie felt thin, recently the extended version was released that had some the important elements back but there was still things missing and left over crap that was’nt needed.

From the news, and the rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I was looking to be mildly entertained but….I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYBODY IS CONDEMNING THIS FILM TO HELL!? THIS WAS AN AWSOME FLICK! BETTER THEN THE FIRST, AND WAY BETTER THEN SPIDER-MAN 3!

The story was tight and they did’nt overdraw anything. Silver Surfer looked amazing, the mix between CGI and Doug Jones in the suit looked incredible, and Lawrence Fishburne did a good job as the voice. They portrayed Doctor Doom exactly the way he is in the books. Never trust the king of Latveria, no matter what the situation it is.

All the cast did great, Chris Evans did another terrific performance as Johnny Storm and the humorous chemistry between him and Michael Chiklis as The Thing comes through every time.

I was dissapointed with Galactus, but they left it vague, which is good, it doe’snt take away from film. The giant storm cloud could’ve been one out of many entites created by Galactus. This is one of those’s times where I completely disagree with the critics on this one.
