FF2: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Or, more appropriately, "Fuck You". Maybe that'll be my new curse. "Hey! FF you, buddy!"

I'm not going to go on a rant like the turd Spidey 3 was because I never really liked the Fantastic Four and had little to no expectations for either film. The first movie was tepid, but amusing, and Chris Evans was totally entertaining as Johnny Storm.

The contempt for the characters & fans in the second film is just unacceptable. Sue Storm should have just been killed in the opening scene and left at that. Who needs icky dumb girls anyway?

This time around nothing but the Surfer is interesting. And even HE is neutered 5 minutes after he shows up, which is 30 minutes into an already boring movie. This, like Pirates 3, was all talking with 2 action sequences. Only the 'action' in FF2 is more geared towards violence to your anus and mostly against your will, although you did volunteer to go into the theater in the first place.

Anyway, don't watch this. And no, being drunk will NOT help this. I was drunk. Or close to it. And it didn't help.

Marvel needs to stop for a second, take a breath and revisit having actual film auteurs handling their properties. Though Iron Man, Ant-Man and the next Hulk flick sound pretty good.

Then again, that's how I got suckered into Daredevil and Ghost Rider.
