I just got back from seeing it and it was AWESOME! I think it was better than the first, with a slightly more darker and serious tone, although it did maintain some lightheartedness. The movie wasn't dragged out, and the story line was just fine. The CGI was spectacular in this movie.
*SPOILERS AHEAD* (HIGHLIGHT TO READ)
MR. Fantastic: I actually like him a lot more in this movie. It was great to see Richard stand up for once, yet they still managed to make him a strong leader while keeping his personality the same. One thing bother me about his powers, when he was on the plane, he stretched his arm to put his briefcase away but his suit jacket stretched with him when it shouldn't have. I really think Ioan did a great job when it came to the death of sue, hes quite the actor. Oh, and I loved his dancing in the beginning, dorky yet kind of cool! From the promo pics it looked like he was looking more aged, but he turned out to be just fine.
The Thing: He was pretty much just there, he didn't add much to the storyline but since his role was bigger in the first, I can deal with that. He did have some touching moments with Alicia, or talking about Alicia with Johnny.
Human Torch: I'm glad to see that they decided to give Johnny some depth in this movie. Its good to see some emotions not seen before. The power switching was pretty cool, it was especially funny when Sue was on fire. Although it was reminiscent of the whole super skrull thing, I like how he was able to combine all of their powers. Oh, and who could forget that "Rockslide" line?! ;D
Invisible Woman: Sue was fantastic. Her powers were my favorite in this movie, I loved how much she had evolved and started to control her powers. Turning other objects invisible, floating on air, bubbling up people, it was pure awesomeness. I think she stole the show here, and I loved how she sacrificed herself to save the surfer.
Silver Surfer: Awesome. I liked how they made him unshiny each time he lost power. I'm really happy about Galactus. They made a great decision in making him unseen, but having his face emerge from the fire cloud and a shadow on Saturn that looked alot like his helmet (which is nice for comic fans)
Doom: I thought he was good in the movie, I wonder how hes gonna get out of the water though. Maybe Namor will pick him from the ocean I really disliked how he looked all sith lordish pre-having his body regenerated. And I couldn't believe how he fried that army guy
Anyway, it was awesome and I plan on seeing it again. And everyone else should see it too ;D
