The Fantastic Flop
Yep, I went to see The Fantastic 4 on Friday. My opinion. Wait for it on DVD. It’s a video rental. Not worth the price of movie admission, popcorn and drinks. It was boring. They tried really hard but the movie didn’t do it for me. There was no point to the story. It had some cool special effects, but 15 minutes into the movie I was feeling restless and bored. I was checking out the head below me (I love stadium seating in theatres) and I was tempted to start tossing some popcorn around to see if I could hit people in the head 6 rows ahead of me.
40 minutes into the movie a couple actually walked out of the movie and never came back - probably due to boredom. Heck, I’d have a better time watching the popcorn pop out of the popcorn machine than having to sit and watch this show.
The Human Torch was funny, but his acting seemed forced and so did the comedy that he spewed from his mouth.
The Invisible Woman - Jessica Alba- she just had no chemistry with either Von Doom or with Mr. Fantasic. She needs to work on her acting skills as well. Just cuz she’s cute doesn’t mean she’s good at acting. Go take some classes chickita.
Mr. Fantastic he was ok. He needs a few brush up acting classes on making the character seem natural and real.
The Thing was good. The actor does a good job on this character and his acting is good in this film. Way better than the other 4 main characters in this movie.
The actor who plays Von Doom. I just don’t think he’s that great of an actor either. He seems too forced and it doesn’t come off naturally. He tried to play evil, but I almost started to laugh when he would throw an evil look. Back to acting classes for you too Mr. I just didn’t get the character either. I just didn’t understand why he was in such a big huff over the Fantastic 4. So Mr. Fantastic is hitting on your girl. Get a personality and maybe she just might like you. So the space trip killed your company, you should’ve thought it through a little better oh smart one. The character just wasn’t well written or well acted.
There were some funny parts, but I was the only one laughing. Either no one else got the joke or they had fallen asleep. Probably the latter.
The other thing that made me annoyed was that Ben Mulroney got a part in this show as a reporter. I can’t stand the guy. He annoys the livin’ hell outta me. He’s right up there next to mosquitoes. I wish I could just squish him. He’s just got a face that I feel like slapping. I think I hate his dad Brian Mulroney so much for introducing the damn GST that I therefore hate all family members. The guy just rubs me the wrong way and anytime I see him on TV I change the channel. He’s annoying to watch and to listen to.
This movie had potential. It really did. I was really looking forward to going to this show and getting to know the characters. However, the casting and writing needs lots of work. Less blah, blah, blah and more action would’ve been much better.
