I was able to watch Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer yesterday and I must say that I enjoyed this one much more then I did the original. To tell you the truth, I don't really remember the first movie all that much...And I am glad that this movie turned out good, because I had passed up Ocean's 13 for this. Plus being a cheap skate, I even paid full price (and not matnee) to see this.
Before I actually stop wasting time and get into yapping about the movie, be advised that I just might spill a bean or seventeen. Meaning spoilers may lie ahead, so read on at your own risk (if you actually read my blog and are thinking about seeing the movie).
Anyway, maybe the second time around truly is the charm? In any event, this second outing was funnier and the actors seemed much more fitted into their characters this time around. I guess to say it clearer, they seemed much more natural in their roles.
The Silver Surfer was pretty cool too, in that he was given a much more human role at the end instead of just being a mindless servant.
The return of Doc Doom wasn't all that surprising and in the end, he does add in his own twist to the coming end of the world. Juilan McMahon does play a very good bad guy, too bad he didn't get a little more time. Then again, he wasn't the big issue...
Galactius was, or namely, a massive cloud... thing... that was called Galactius was the issue. I was expecting to see him appear though this giant cloud but alas. Nope. The giant planet eater did not make an actual appearance, unless you count the cloud.
My gripe about this was the fact that they basically showed the entirety of Human Torch and his chase through the city in the trailers. I was hoping there would be more to it then there was, but oh well. It was still good!
Now I could spend the remaining moments of this entry, yapping about how hot Jessica Alba is and yadda, yadda. I could, I really could. But how many guys out there did this already? I will not conform! Instead, however, I will end this with but a simple statement. A truth to some for sure, but merely a comment by yours truely.
Jessica Alba + Kimono = HOT.
'Nuff said.
