The Hokey Pokey: A Movie Review

I checked out Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer last night. Here are my thoughts:

-Better than the first one.

-Excellent action sequences.

-The Silver Surfer is badass.

-I couldn't get past the Silver Surfer's voice, I kept expecting him to say "Neo, you are the one."

-Jessica Alba cannot act. She was awful, but still awfully nice to look at.

-They worked hard to make Reed Richards more likable this time around. It worked.

-The writers made sure to hit you over the head with the moral of the story.

-The Human Torch is a perfect example of how a real person would act if they were give powers.

-The dialogue was comic-bookish and 1950ish all rolled into one. "Hurry grab the radioactive shutdown device. We must get to the next location before the Surfer." That bad, seriously.

For a summer movie this works on most levels. You won't see much plot development and the characters haven't really grown much from the last movie. But if you're looking for explosions and testosterone fueled action sequences, this is your ticket. If you enjoyed the first Fantastic 4 movie then you knwo what to expect here. If you didn't much care for the original, then you might want to stay away.
