Fantastic Four
Went out with George and Carl to see the FANTASTIC FOUR last night. It was far better than I expected. The first film had been so dreadful. Jennifer Alba still can’t act, and the ages are wrong for Johnny and Reed, but it was fun. Especially when they were a great disfuctional family. The effects for the Silver Surfer were lovely. Basically an hour and a half that was quite entertaining.
The boys both grew up reading the comic and love the characters. Since there was a lot of by-play between the team they were deeply contented. Occasionally the dialogue became pretty bombastic and heavy handed, but not between the foursome so I only groaned a few times. I recommend it as Big Dump Fun. Frankly I found it far more enjoyable than Spiderman 3. Perhaps because my expectation were high for Spidey and pretty low for Fanatastic Four.
