I'm a sucker for retro-futurism, and that's probably the best thing about this film. No spandex, just wool! Performances are fine except for the huge bad guy Galactus, who literally says almost nothing other than he's hungry for planets. Johnny Storm is kind of the dumb lady's man, but a twist in the plot gives him a little more credit for having some brains.
The real question is, in 2025 are superhero movies still something worth watching? I'd say this is an above average Marvel product, although just that. The Silver Surfer never really looks right -- too much CGI or too little I don't know. Natasha Lyonne is criminally underused, as is her relationship with The Thing.
Three Clobberin' Times out of five!
