Quick n' Cheezy Reviews
I swear, that's my last Cheese reference. Really.
Fantastic Four-- The new Fantastic Four movie manages to carefully tightrope walk the line between kickin' and sucking that it's kind of hard to give it any sort of thumbs up/down type review. There's lots of good stuff here. The characterizations are for the most part, dead on. There's lots of clever FX. The action sequences are good. There's plenty of funny stuff. And although a LOT of stuff has been changed for the purposes of the movie, for the most part, most of it works for the movie. Where the movie stumbles is A) in the pointless scenes of Johny Storm doing "extreme" stuff, and B) Dr. Doom. Doom's character is completely wrong in all aspects, and to reduce the greatest comic book villian of all time to something of a weasely corporate psycho is just wrong. All in all, Fantastic Four is definately worth a watch, but you could probably save it for DVD.
