Was this better than the original? Released just 2 years ago? Yes, I suppose. This is the closest I’ve seen to a comic book literally being brought to life. Not the Frank Miller graphic novels, deep and meaningful but bright, forgettable cartoons aimed squarely at the under 10’s. All the great Silver Surfer moments were used in the trailer, and he was the highlight of the film, his initial appearance being one of the most enjoyable, especially the surfing down the side of the building. All the actors did their best with the material they had, some of the FX were excellent, but some were really poor! Why doesn’t Mr Fantastic do much stretching? Because it looks terrible onscreen! Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis, Jessica Alba all fine. But this was all so paper thin, I didn’t care! Spiderman 3 was a disappointment, but Spiderman 2 is one of the best superhero films ever made. This so called fantastic film is so short, why not add half an hour of how this family wrestle with being superhero’s in their everyday existence instead of just aimlessly running towards the next action scene. As was witnessed by, in my opinion and the opinion of my good friend Tom who I snored through it with, 300, you can have all the battles you want but unless you care, you just ain’t there! But it’s a kids film Dave! I know but so where Toy Story and The Incredibles, and they are way more fulfilling than this disappointing glop of candy floss!2 surfers out of 5
