Not a whole lot. I was expecting a surprise success, or a total flop. It's really just mediocre.
I didn't see it.
List the pros and cons please. If certain things I really enjoy are in the con, I might as well skip the movie.
Pro's
The cast are pretty good in their roles. It's really not a big deal that Johnny Storm is black or that Ben Grimm is a small guy. I really liked Jamie Bell in this in particular.
The dimension travelling is quite interesting, at least visually. It stands out well enough in such a saturated superhero market.
Victor is not the the failure we were led to believe. He's essentially a rival scientist to Reed. They work together and the brewing contempt he has is quite compelling. You know he's gonna turn, you're just waiting for when.
Con's
Despite the solid cast, there's really nothing for them to grab on to. Emotional and humourous beats fall flat pretty much every time.
The effects are bad. There's one sequence where Reed's powers are demonstrated in the woods, and it is horribly done. Such obvious green screen work. Looked like Wolverine Origins.
It's a classic case of origin-itis, where the bulk of the film is dedicated to how they get their powers, and an under-developed villain plot is tacked on to the end.
Doom gets to dispatch some poor people in an entertainingly gruesome manner, but beyond that his motives and plot are paper thin.
