Fantastic Flop

They say that if you had a thousand monkeys banging away at typewriters for a hundred years you'll eventually get the works of Shakespeare and the Bible. The first hundred pages, I'm convinced, would be the Chronicals of Riddick. The next hundred pages is the script for this horrible movie.

I saw Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer last night, and wish I didn't. It was awful. It stunk. First the script has holes so large you can drive an 18 wheeler through. Next, the acting was horrible. The actors didn't seem to take it seriously. Jessica Alba and Ioan Gruffud should have been in Team America: World Police. Doug Jones was wasted. Even Stan Lee and Brian Posehn in cameos were nothing.

One thing I hate about comic book movies is the director's almost automatic desire to reboot the franchise and do an origin movie. And to make Gah Lak Tus (as opposed to the more traditional Galactus) a cloud? Come on now . . .
