Fantastic Four
Cast: Ioan Gruffud, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis, Julian MacMahon
Director: Tim Story
Review:
Quite a Fun action hero movie. I was never a Fantastic 4 fan and had low expectations for this movie given the lacklustre previews. Thankfully, the movie is light, fun and had a great sense of humor and I came out entertained. The cast that made up the Fantastic Four are great especially Chris Evans as Human Torch and Michael Chiklis as The Thing. Jessica Alba is miscast but she's hot, so that made up for it. Not all are good though. the special effects are sometimes way too obvious - the body stretching of Mr Fantastic; and they could definitely make Dr Doom more powerful - after all he is one of the most powerful villain in the Marvel universe. But overall, it's a fun popcorn flick.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Mr and Mrs Smith
Cast: Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Vince Vaughn, Adam Brody
Director: Doug Liman
Review:
An interesting hybrid of romantic and action movie that fizzles at the end. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had good chemistry. For the first half of the movie or so, it was funny to see both of them trying to outsmart each other. However, towards the end of the movie, the whole thing just becomes a full blown action movie that is actually not very exciting, since there is no real villain to speak of and the action is so overblown, it looks generic. Everything is forgettable... except the blatant Fight Club reference - gotta love it when they play with the audience.
