Surprise! Fantastic Four's script doesn't suck!

I have noticed over the past few years, it seems that nobody is even bothering to write clever dialogue into scripts. Even the James Bond movies, which were a repository for impeccably-timed dry puns have just, well, run dry.

Another good example of this phenomenon is the "Mummy" franchise. Here was an opportunity to take a bit of a piss at the campy "swashbuckler" genre, and have a good time in the process. Did anyone bother? No. I'd rather have been sucked dry the Mummy itself than by the script.

However, the Fantastic Four was a clever screenplay, which poked fun at the 'superpowers' of the lead characters without being over-the-top (as much as can be done in a story about superheroes).

I actually enjoyed it. Which is saying enough.

1. the actors were awful

which made it a pretty funny movie. I was laughing pretty hard during some of the botched lines.

Jessica Alba is not awful

I would just prefer her to act in her underwear.

3. Yeah, but that skin tight suit she wore wasn't bad, either!! n/t

2. My wife and I went to see it in the theatre and both liked this movie.

It is what it is...it's not "Dr. Zhivago", nor does it pretend to be.

4. Serenity had some clever dialogue

Just sayin'
