Better than the first, but could be a little better
16 June 2007
I just got back from seeing this on the big screen, and was it worth it: yes and no. All comic book movies have everybody talking ("Is it going to kick ass?", "Is it going to suck?"), and FF: RotSS doesn't kick ass, but it doesn't suck either.

I was expecting a pretty moderate superhero movie, because I know that the FF ain't as popular as Spiderman or Batman or Superman, but they couldn't be worse than Daredevil either. My point is this movie isn't horrible, but it's plagued with a few mistakes that came right out of Spiderman 3.

First off, the GOOD:

1: visual effects are pretty awesome. They aren't better than Spiderman 3, but they are good.

2: Johnny's humor is actually better than the first one (somewhat), along with Grim's as well.

3: Jessica Alba being partially naked in a PG movie is just a BLAST to think of!!! Bravo Tim bravo!!! Now the BAD: 1: there are very little fight seqeunces in this movie, and pretty much all of them don't beat the first movie's fight scenes.

2: Johnny's humor is pretty funny, but some of it is pretty lame and mediocre.

3: Galactus. He suffers just what Venom did in Spiderman 3: TOO LITTLE SCREEN TIME!!!!! I admire the fact they changed his appearance (from a giant monolith with a crown to a cloud of dust and energy), and he's a good character to put into the movie, but they could of put a little more background into him besides "Some call him Gah Lac Tus, the destroyer of worlds." Ooooo scary.

4: Last, but certainly not least is the Silver Surfer. He's also an outstanding character. Doug Jones did a pretty good job of portraying him, but there's just one problem: LAWRENCE FISBURNE DOES HIS VOICE-OVER!!!! Horrible. JUST. PLAIN. HORRIBLE!!!! His voice doesn't even match the Silver Surfer's look!!

But overall, it's a darn good superhero movie, just ignore Morpheus's voice the entire time.
