Fantastic Four 2

I think the traditional comic book movie first popularized way back with Spider-Man and the X-men is officially dead! Marvel movies hit the apex with Spider-Man 2 and since then have just slowly died. The formula needs refreshed. Fantastic Four 2 pretty much sums up what has gone wrong with comic book movies. Forced laughter, dumb jokes, Stan "his cameos just get worst" Lee, plots going in the direction of characters more exciting then the main characters, boring fights, and just not the comic book. The industry is just looking for that box office receipt but frankly you can only fool audiences a few times before they catch on that the movie is just a pathetic attempt for you to give the studio your cash. Back to this movie, while it is an slight improvement over the first one, the bottom line is the movie just doesn't have the right chemistry. Should have gone with a CGI Thing, Johnny hits it pretty well but his humor gets old and becomes forced, Alba just never figured out Sue Storm and plays here terribly. What was with the clown makeup? On the big screen she looked like she was plastered, too bad she wasn't more invisible. And finally Reed is about the only believable character but if you were hoping Reed would carry the movie...well you never read Fantastic Four. He is simply the plot support...his wacky science is what makes the comic book move and gives the devices to move the book forward. And has mentioned with the latest and greatest comic book movies it seems we need a cooler and plot centered villian. Spider-Man 3 was ruined with too many villians and this one is basically showcasing the Silver Surfer which is really just a B-list marvel character who really isn't a villian. Oh and who allowed the Star Trek to get into the movie...tachyon pulse???? Come on....anyway so much for this franchise. Another burned out!
