Review: “Fantastic 4”

We are getting more superhero flicks than ever before right now and the latest comes from the Marvel comic Fantastic 4 (PG-13). In it, out-of-luck scientist Reed Richards leads an expedition into space to try to get himself back on his feet with a decent study of a cosmic storm. The storm ends up giving Reed and his entire team super powers. From there, Mr. Fantastic, Thing, Invisible Girl, and Human Torch must learn to deal with their new skills. Naturally, something evil comes back, too, as Reed’s nemesis, Victor Von Doom, also has a few talents of his own. It is campy, action-packed, and fun – everything a good superhero flick should be. It doesn’t have much depth and it doesn’t try to be realistic, but this isn’t much of a problem because we, as the audience, know how silly these folks look in their costumes but it is fun so we enjoy the ride. The major weakness of these superheroes (and the film in general) is the bickering. None of the four seem to be able to get along with one another and this leads to plenty of friendly fire. Then again, they only have one villain so who else should they practice their powers on but each other. The special effects are out-of-this-world (and blow anything seen in War Of The Worlds completely out of the water). In the end, Fantastic 4 is a far cry from X-Men or Spider-Man but it is the best superhero flick of the summer.

Review: “Dark Water”

Dark Water (PG-13) is yet another horror flick based on a Japanese movie of the same name. Instead of Naomi Watts or Sarah Michelle Gellar in the lead, Jennifer Connelly takes the reigns. She does an above average job with the material here. Like The Ring (and its sequel) and The Grudge, the plot revolves around a creepy ghost girl that is calling out for help in a very deadly way. That side of the flick is very been-there-done-that and is worthy of nothing more than a series of yawns. However, unlike the other films of its type, this one offers a redeemable side story about Connelly’s character trying to deal with her own childhood and her present motherhood in a dumpy New York apartment. Unfortunately, when the two stories collide, both go downhill. Certain aspects that are brought up end up going nowhere, the bad-plumbing motif never makes complete sense, and the movie is just not worth your time or money. I have to admit that it is the best effort out of the Japanese horror flicks, but that isn’t saying anything, though.
