I've been looking forward to this movie for months and after reading a few reviews, I'm going to have to say that not only am I not going to see it, I recommend YOU avoid it also...
Review #1: Terry Lawson of the Detroit Free Press is a predictable movie reviewer. His main point is that this is the first comic-book movie of the summer (as opposed to Batman Begins I assume) that is safe to just go ahead and drop your kids off to see (he's wrong about that I think). But the end of his review holds the death line: "At least it puts the comic back in the comic-book movie."
Ummm.... No thanks! If I wanted to see a movie put the comic back in a comic-book movie I would go watch
I'm just joking here, I'm not recommending this movie at all, I'm just trying to make a point!Don't you dare rent or in any other way contribute to this movie.
Doughboy I'm looking in your direction....
So anyway, Terry Lawson's review has some unintentional tipoffs, I recommend you read the whole thing.
Review #2: An excellent review
Written by Stephen Greydanus who writes movie reviews for National Catholic Register explains this movie quite clearly. His review is definitely worth reading. It's not going to be a family movie, it's not going to be a good superhero movie, it's going to be a suckfest of epic proportions!
Stephen is a big fan of comic-book movies and has given good reviews where they are due (X-Men, X-2, Spiderman, Spiderman-2, Batman Begins) and ripped comic-book movies when they deserved it (all the other Batman movies). He's also really good at breaking the movies down into different categories so it is clear what is good and/or bad about it. This is especially good if you have children and are considering whether to take them to see a movie.
So anyway, I'm pretty sure we can safely avoid this movie which makes me kind of sad...

Dude...chill out!! You haven't even seen the movie...you are taking someone else's opinion (remember they get paid to do this) and running with it. I thought you were a free thinker Squidboy..what up with that?! I'm going to see it and even buy a large popcorn!! Any takers?!
what one of the worst comic book teams ever printed from marvel? There movie can't suck. By the way what was wrong with Richie Rich. Mswings I'll buy the popcorn.
Okay, you two kids have fun with this movie then.
Don't come crying to me when I use the money I saved by avoiding this one to go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at IMAX.
You'll be sorry then!
And yes, I do expect to hear your HONEST review of F4 after you've seen it!
Oh, and how did I already know that Doughboy saw Richie Rich?
I must be psychic or something... No wait, I bet I could pick out any awful movie aimed at kids and/or family and Doughboy has already seen it.
I'm going to guess that Doughboy has seen every Olsen twins movie ever made.
Look at me! I'm psychic again!!!
Dude!! You are scarey!! Chill out!! Yo Doughboy..has he ALWAYS been like this?! Man can you please slap him for me!! (I'll buy the next round..maybe at the Willie Wonka Wannabe movie!!)..LOL..keep on keeping on!! :)
