Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER (2007) - June 16, 2007
Man. When they make Fantastic Four 3, they need to fire Tim Story -- he kind of sucks. But more importantly, they need to fire Don Payne and Mark Frost. Tim Story's direction is bland and somewhat incompetent, but Payne and Frost's script is outright bad, featuring some laughable dialogue and embarrassingly juvenile humour. And while they're firing people, they can fire Ioan Gruffudd (who was even worse here than he was in the first one) and Jessica Alba -- you rarely see such bad performances in a mainstream movie. I guess this movie wasn't completely terrible, just exceptionally mediocre. And it takes a special kind of ineptitude to turn a character as cool as Galactus into a lame-o cloud of black smoke. **
