Fantastic Four...

So last night was movie night again, on account of it being Orange Wednesday, and all that hoo-ha. We’re running out of movies we want to see; make that have run out, at least for the next couple of months.

Anyway, we went to see The Fantastic Four. Now I was prepared for the movie to be pants, so I adjusted my expectations downwards in anticipation: the reviews have been uniformly poor, and the fact that the producers kept dragging it back into post production for tweaks never bodes well. So what was it like?

Overall impressions?

Wait five years for terrestrial TV to pick it up for the appropriate Saturday night, or bank holiday blockbuster slot. Note the time and channel, and watch another channel instead.
