Premiere of Fantastic Four

My heart squealed with joy the moment I got the offer for 2 free tickets to watch the premiere of Fantastic Four yesterday in GSC Berjaya Times Square. I arrived just on time to be greeted with a crowd of curious youths starving for a piece of Jessica Alba.

The movie was enjoyable but forgettable. Just a note about life and destiny that I picked up from the movie.

Ben who turned into 'The Thing' was mulling over his misfortune of being turned into an alien looking mutant despite the prodigious strength he had. His wife was so frightened of his new look that she chose to leave him, ergo the frustration enveloping Ben with his new transformation. After a machine was built to help him turn back into his normal self (much to his refief) he was shocked to find out that the evil man who helped him had indeed absorbed his power and strength during his transformation. As he used his enormous power to conquer the four superheros, he quoted: "Unlike you, I embraced my destiny"

In life, many times if live lets us down, we blame it on our fate and destiny not knowing that things happen to us for a reason. If you let life take control of you, you will never be able to embrace life. Take charge and make life happen. Let's not let complains and negativity get the better of you.

Ben failed as he did not see the benefit of him turning into a mutant with incredible strength. He only saw the negative side of his transformation and thus had led to the superpower of his enemy. For the rest of the movie, I leave it to your fantasy or when you find out on your on.

Embrace life!
