Fantastic 4 & Fantastic 4: RotSS

I like Cole from Charmed a lot as Dr. Doom in the first film, he's very much a hottie and bas ass evil too, I have a thing for bad boys I guess. The whole production though feels too sleek, too fake, too unreal. It should be dirtier, more lived in like Wolverine in the first X-Men movie. It comes across as unsincere to the characters. The paper thin plot gets the job done of giving the 4 their powers (and Doom tto but we don't realise that yet) as well as getting Sue and Reed together by the end of the film. The CGI looks cool and Torch learning to fly is great fun to watch.

The second film seems to be in too minds about which story it's trying to tell. On the one hand there's the arrival of the Surfer, heralding the oncoming Galactus and on the other hand there's the return of Dr. Doom and his plan to gain the power of the surfboard. Both storylines fail to mesh with each other throughout the film, although the London scenes were cool (I've been on the London Eye once) and Galactus as smoky deth cloud was better than the weird guy witht he stupid hat in the comics.

I think they need one more chance to try and get it right...
