Watched it last night and had pretty average expectations going in. Marvel comics Foursome was not exactly my favorite set of characters growing up but heck, I wanted to watch the movie
For average expectations I was rewarded with a less than average movie, unfortunately.
The characters, after they changed, really didn't do much. For super-heroes, they were not very heroic at all and for a bad guy, as good a potential as there may have been for Dr. Doom, he was really too easily dealt with.
Think Grevious and Obi Wan and cut that action in half and remove half the special effects from there. A very anti-climatic ending indeed.
The character development was blasse with very tedious lines. The highpoints of the movie were The Thing and the Human Torch and their banter. Especially the Human Torch. He was funny and did a pretty decent job overall.
Dr. Doom's character was well played out and it was unfortunate he was dealt with so easily at the end although I guess after wasting so much time plodding around in the middle, the writer and director probably needed to wrap things up in a hurry.
If you are looking for a pop-corn flick with some explosions, grab a look else give this movie a pass.
3/5 OSNN stars and I am being very generous.
