I never saw the first one, it looked too bad just from the brief clips i had seen. I had the same impression about this one as well and I was right!
On the verge of the wedding of Sue Storm (aka the Invisible Woman) and Reed Richards (aka Mr Fantastic, who, imo, aint very good looking), a strange energy is creating massive craters in the earth and the Fantastic 4 are recruited by the US gov't to help out. Creating new alliances and dealing with villians old and new, our heros learn what's really important.
It had it's humorous moments, but was filled with over the top cheesiness.
Guys will like watching Jessica Alba despite her awful dye job, girls will like watching the hotness that is Johnny Storm (aka the Human Torch), comic book geeks will be pissed about the portrayal of Galactus, and unfortunately Michael Chiklis gets the shaft.

1408
Usually, the majority of Stephen King movie horror adaptions have been horrible - just look 'dreamcatcher' or 'secret window' for example - while others such as The Shining, The Stand, and 1408 are genuinely creepy.
In 1408, John Cusack, who hasnt aged in like the past 20 years, is a paranormal writer who documents his experiences in so-called' haunted houses across the country. Not believing in any of the paranormal when he gets a postcard telling him not to stay in 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel he of course jumps at the change to stay im the room that has claimed 56 lives since the hotel opened. The entire rest of the film is mainly John Cusack acting as we see the psychological pressure this "evil fucking room" puts on him.
It was very clever and genuinely creepy. If you're looking for a good suspenseful psychological thriller, then this is one not to be missed!
Samuel L. Jackson briefly co-stars as the hotel manager, altho he's more of a minor role than the commercials make it out to be.

Ratatouille
very very cute! disney and pixar have done it again!
the characters are very 3 dimension too and not just static like most animated films have been lately. sadly though, with all the blockbusters coming out this summer, it's likely to get swallowed up.
but it's a really good movie for the whole family - i highly recommend going to this one.
