Reed Richards... stop trying to hit me and hit me! Cowboy Curtis to hang ten on the shiny board?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I don't share Harry's cautious optimism for FANTASTIC FOUR 2. I flat out hated Tim Story's FANTASTIC FOUR. I think it is the shittiest Marvel film so far. And yes, that's counting PUNISHER and ELEKTRA. Even the best stuff in the first movie was a pale reflection of a better version that the material wanted to be.

I do look forward to Weta's work on the Silver Surfer, but I know whenever it's not the Surfer I'll have to sit through the Fantastic Four I hated in the first film.

And don't get me started on the scaredy-cat decision to half-ass Galactus.

Word has hit the trades that Laurence Fishburne will be giving the Silver Surfer his voice. Interesting decision. He's got a power to his voice, a quiet power at that, that will be a good match for the character. Once again, it seems the CGI shiny dude will be the only thing worth sitting through the rest of the crap for.
