I'll admit I've never been much of a Fantastic Four fan but that factor does not make me biased against this movie. I still did enjoy a few cartoon episodes that I watched in Pakistan as child. I had seen TV commercials of the movie releases but couldn't be bothered to go see them.
There is a grocery Supermarket that I regularly buy from with it's high quality of food as well as the latest movies that they sell for low prices. Some of them are even brand new yet incredibly cheap.
I had bought a few great movies from the DVD section for as low as $7.99 each. One night as I finished shopping for groceries, I decided to go through the DVD container to see if there was anything worth buying.
I was left with really nothing but I decided to opt for Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. I thought this collectable brand new two disc edition would sell for a lot online if I did not like it.
I was right about not liking it, but I can't sell it on Amazon due to it having a different cover art than the one available. Amazon requires your product to look exactly like the one seen on the list when selling. No differences are acceptable.
The movie had a terrible cast for Johnny, The Human torch. His acting was also silly and had bad humor. Mr Fantastic also has cheap humor. These definitely weren't the characters who we'd seen in the cartoons.
The plot was also unrealistic and the Silver Surfers abilities were also fake. The main problem with this movie is that it's very difficult to put a franchise like the Fantastic Four to live action as comparison to X-Men or Spiderman due to the powers of these heroes and heroine being far more fancy and complex.
I'd give this movie a one out of five rating. If readers are not convinced, they should rent the movie first and see if it's worth buying or not.
