I must say this looks like an improvement over the first one. If they can keep up this pace of drama, excitement, and rush all throughout the film, they may have a hit on their hands.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I enjoyed this much better than the first.

What I liked

Spoiler:

-Silver Surfer was excellent. Possibly one of the coolest image I've seen in a superhero movie. While I was disappointed his character was not explored further, I think the focus on him as a threat worked quite well and he was sympathetic.

-Evans and Chilcklis were just as fun in this one as they were in the first one. Johnny's turmoil was fun if shallow and Ben and him going at it is always a joy. Their relationship is the most believable.

-The Stan Lee cameo. Best one ever.

-Johnny getting all four powers as he fought Doom.

-Doom was decently cool this time around.

-Alba was smokin hot and I thought she played Sue decently.

What I didn't like

Spoiler:

-Running time. Too short

-Why are the military trusting someone who wants to kill the F4?

-I would have loved to see a little more feats of strength out of The Thing.

-The whole team didn't seem incredbily sad when Sue was dying. Much more emotion could have been added to this scene. When Johhny was fighting Doom he should have been furious. That was his sister. Instead he was cracking jokes and squeeling "wheee" as he used the stretching power. (Unless that's just in the ad?) It doesn't ring true. (But I admit it didn't occur to me at the time, probably because I knew of course that Sue would be fine.)

Other thoughts

Spoiler:

-Galactus was so-so i wouldn't say "bad" but it wasn't good. I thought the storm cloud thing looked really scary, you're tellling me if you saw that in real life it wouldn't scare the hell outta you? They just better have the real deal in the SS spinoff.

-At the end, when Ben hit Doom with that wrecking ball, and knocked him into the ocean, Doom should have yelled "Curse you Richards!" while flying through the air.
