Review by Katie Wong (4 reviews):
As I was a big fan of the cartoons when I was younger, and being disappointed by the first instalment, as well as the recent disappointment of Spiderman 3, I was truthfully dubious about going to see another comic book sequel...so it's safe to say that I was trying to delay my predictably viewing displeasure.

As we go into the sequel, we see Mr Fantastic and The Invisible Woman trying to get hitched but things are getting in the way - whether it be the military trying to warn them that someone has just 'landed' on Earth from space, crazed 'fans', the aforementioned space visitor who spoils all the fun or saving the Earth from an embittered and revived Dr Doom?

What I liked about this? Little things - mainly the rare banter between the characters.

Honestly, even though this wasn't as bad as the first, it did become one of those repeat offenders by trying to get all the stuff that appealed in the first one into the second one, i.e. Jessica Alba, whose hair is either too blond or her eyes are too blue (or worse, both) wearing as little as possible, or corny jokes that only kids would laugh at whilst we would struggle to raise a smile.

All the cast are in moderate form, making the most of their screen time, but because their characters are covered by CGI, they don't have much of an opportunity to do that either.

All in all, at the eve of the summer season of sequels and blockbusters, this is not a strong contender and definitely not a flick to see during the weekend (if you're an adult, there will be kids with loads of popcorn and sweets...then the whole place will just smell really funky).

Go see it if you really, REALLY want to see it. But who really, REALLY wants to....umm, really?

The original designs for the face-hugger used in Alien (1979) were held by U.S. customs officials who were alarmed by it. Webmasters: place our "Movie Trivia of the Day" on your site
