This is one of the first movies I can say I hated from beginning to end!
After the opening fifteen minutes, I felt like going back out to the lobby and staring at the cardboard cutout display, knowing I would find better acting there than was present on the screen.
Perhaps I have reached the point of CG overload, but it seems the more things blow up, fly through the air or transform miraculously, the more I yawn. People are falling all over themselves drooling over the physical appearance of the Silver Surfer. I too was impressed...BACK IN 1991 WHEN I SAW THE SAME EFFECT IN TERMINATOR 2!!! In the sixteen years that have transpired, they haven't improved on that original effect one iota. What they have managed to do is make Jessica Alba look like a bad special effect, not when she's invisible mind you, but in her live action scenes. The poor girl seems to be the victim of bad collagen injections in the kisser and a drive-by spray painting with five minute tanning solution.
The only thing that amazes me more than this total creative vacuum of a movie, is the number of ten star reviews that it is getting! The only reason I didn't rate this movie lower is because zero stars was not an option. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
