First was borderline pish/average but will see this at the cinema anyway.

The first would've been LOTS better if it was playing to a PG-13/12A market.

That really killed it, it was all so pathetic.

Their first mistake was hiring a guy who's own known for nigria comedies.

WTF he looks old enough to be her father.

I was talking about the director, Tim Story.

. I don't know who Tim Story is to be able to comment on what you said.

He's known for making nigria comedies like Barbershop and the shithouse remake of Taxi.

Oh and they've used aging make-up to make McGufford look older.

Mr. Fantastic was always supposed to be older than Susan Storm, the greyed temples are part of the character's iconic look.

I may see this, I've always been a fan of the Silver Surfer character.

Just watched this. Aye I'd give it a 3/5 or something.

TBH I was in the mood for a dumb comic book superhero story and it delivered. Better than the first. Alright not a masterpiece but I'm not complaining. The Silver Surfer was certainly an interesting character.

Aye - not sure if my eyes were playing tricks on me or if the projector's colour settings were buggered... but Jessica Alba looked like she had been in the sunbed a little too long and then applied a ton of greasy makeup. She was more orange than Ben Grimm.

Thought Captain Raye (Beau Garrett) was hot.

They film makers were on crack! idiots changing her so much she looks like a doll!

reminds me of the awful blue contact lenses DR EVIL uses in Goldmember! she has changed so much it stupid, continuity out of the window. If they wanted a Blue eyes, blonde bimbo they should have cast one! not a dark haired, dark skinned total oposite!

I will see the film soon, I like part 1 so I just hope its as good as that or better. Easygoing is the word I will use for part 1.

Yeah sometimes well all need films that are easy going imho.

That's so true.

Oh and the Stan Lee cameo's pretty funny.

She looks like some Nazi child from a master race! but with glow in the dark eyes.

Ohh I thought it was just the deleted scenes from other regions dvds added back into the film. Didnt read much about it after I heard that, hope I was wrong then as I like it.

I am sure many of them scenes are deleted scenes on the old dvd, will have to check

Stupid stupid movie.

Surfer was handled surprisingly well and Ottman's score was good, but other than that it's a pretty bad movie.

I liked it gave it 3.25 out of 5, far from stunning in any way at all, but entertainment nonetheless. They still haven’t got it perfect that’s for sure, needs to be more epic in scope, as like the first film it just feels like a small film, with no massive set pieces to blow my mind. I prefer the first film by a mile for every single thing from jokes, to action and character plotting. Part 2 just kind of didn’t lay anything new ground wise for me and never advanced the story much to be honest. Silver Surfer in fact did not impress me at all in any way, thought the CGI on his was ok, but not very impressive or much of an advance from the T1000 to be honest.

Alba looks like a freak of nature mind you, awful new look.

Wouldn't stop me from bending her over a table though.
