GOD - Please Let The Movie Be As Badass as This trailer for FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER!!!!
Hey folks, Harry here - and holy shit this trailer kicks ass. I don't think I can possibly explain how geeked out I am by this trailer. I'm a hardcore FANTASTIC FOUR geek - and I hope everything that I've heard about this film is a baldface lie. I pray to God that it blows me complete the fuck away. I love this trailer. It looks like a real honest to goodness FANTASTIC FOUR movie... but... I also know how great Fox's Trailer department is. They're the best in the industry for making things look amazing. I just hope that this isn't one of those cases. I want this movie to be every single bit as good as this trailer. I want it to bury the first film in a deep unmarked grave. here you go...
Let the SILVER SURFER get a RISE out of You!

But I reckon I could still scratch some delicious cashew remains from a freshly squeezed turd.
-
Sorry, it still brings up memories from the last piece of shit movie. I may rent it but I'll never be excited to see it.
-
Fantastic Fourth...
-
honestly, i just want some kick-ass action scenes to hang my hat on. that alone will set this installment miles ahead of the first one. i'm not holding my breath for them to fix all (or any) of the character problems they established in the first movie.
-
I am definitely much more interested now than when I saw the teaser. I am apprehensive too but that looked pretty fun to me. I wanna see some early reviews.
-
Fool me twice, shame on me. I've learned that comic book movies are only as good as their directors. Which is why Batman Begins kicked ass, Spiderman is pretty cool and this series will continue to be on par with Elektra.
-
But I'll still see this, for sure. If only for the hopes of an Iron Man teaser.
-
if "badass" equals shot after shot of the surfer flying towards the camera, with overly dramatic music overdubbed, plus a terrible, terrible attempt at comedy (ie: johnny storm's THING WIG), then YES- most badass trailer ever!!
-
I hate clouds.
-
This movie looks incredible, now I'll actually have to go see Spider-man 3 to see this trailer on the big screen.
PS, give me a proper Blu-ray disc later this year FOX. -
sorry...
-
All in all, I guess it looks more promising than the first one, but that says very little. It's still Tim Story in the director's chair. And, the power-switching gag looks fucking awful, like what would have happened in the Corman movie if he'd had a few thousand extra bucks to spare. And, is it me, or has Jessica Alba undergone some kind of experimental gene therapy to make her white? It's really kind of bizarre.
-
Otherwise, he'll be starving.
-
what the hell happened to jessica alba? she looks straight out of the movie WHITE CHICKS.
-
i was looking forward to this before, despite the negative hype, but now i'm officially sold. fuck the "he's too silver" naysayers, that looked fucking awesome.
-
to the unbearably lame 1st one. And now I'm torn apart. Awesome trailer.
But remember, X3 had a great trailer too... -
Enough of this fantastic shit. Lets get Thor on the silver screen. Great Odin's Beard!
-
I wasnt anticipating this one at all but man... I agree with Harry if that trailer dont give you hope, nothing will.
-
Agreed, Garbageman33. Actually, I think that holds up for any movie.
-
I watched this with my headphones on, and it sound great, and there's a lot of things that, how was it Shia put it...it's like whoooosh! The most dialogue was from Andre B, so I got non indication that this is the next great thing. I thought the first one was lame, but not a steaming pile of dung, but I don't bother deciding if a movie's good from the trailer. I go see movie. If movie good, I happy. If movie bad, sometimes I cried.
-
...didn't they try to make it in the vein of the Ghostbusters? Huh? I remember back when the first was commin' out, that AICN was reporting that the FF was gonna be funny. I actually (in mind mind) hoped that they woulda done the 'four in the vein of the timing of jokes like the Ghostbusters (the first one)...I finally got to see the first movie a few months back on HBO (I was working a Sunday shift at the mall after it had closed and had nothing else to do), and it wasn't GREAT, however, its wasn't that bad either. Sadly, I thought the jokes were nowhere like the thought I had of the Fantastic Four being a superhero movie that had the funniness of the first Ghostbusters movie...I'm hoping this sequel is much better...
-
From everything i've heard, expectations for this one are still low, but the trailer's uber goodness... if we come out of this movie with anything good, we can at least say that was cool...
-
to HATE this movie.
-
I'm more intrigued, but I am also an old school FF fan from way back, so even if I thought it would suck, I'd see it anyway...I the the flying car thing (can't remember what they called it in the comics) is the weakest part I've seen so far in the promotional stuff. Also, what's the deal with the power switch...I hope it's just a promo-gag and not a real part of the story line.
-
Like people bashing others for hating FF.
-
That the CGI of SS talking is going to work for me.
The first movie was such crap, this one may also be nothing more than a silver-coated turd. -
shoulda just covered a naked dude with lead based paint. worked for the tin man, right?
-
This was ok, but I am not holding my breath when it comes to the movie.
-
Someone less lazy than me needs to make a video where they superimpose surfer over lil Vito taking a shit in the shower.
-
Never bothered to see the first film due to its craptacular reviews. But this has me scratching my head about seeing the second installment.
-
... for Fishburne's dubbing. He's so good an actor I don't recognize his voice as the Surfer...
-
He is truly one of the few Film Lovers left in the world. I love even more the people who take his opinions/gushings as a personal insult.
-
Are those professionals doing the lip syncing on Silver Surfer?!? Hay-suess Christ that was AWFUL! And the effects on Mr. Fantastic still look like they're in some cut-rate straght to video garbage. UGH. This movie is going to be worse than I thought.
-
That does look pretty kick ass!!!
Silver Surfer is gonna rule this movie no doubt,but Jessica alba is still wrong for sue and is a terrable actress. -
I have to laugh at some of you ...you will hold out hope in the face of all evidence to the contrary. But if it helps you sleep at night, then I guess it is harmless.
-
And two million 28 year olds are painting the carpet to Jessica Alba.
-
...when you know deep in your heart that the movie will be a ripe mound of mule foreskins.
-
reverted back to Blades of Glory. This site needs an enema!
-
As a huuuge FF fan, I was disappointed by the first one, but didn't hate it (although they fucked up Doom), and thought they nailed the relationship between Ben and Johnny. That was a kickass trailer, better than all we've seen this Summer other than the Transformers one.
-
HATED the first one. But this looks pretty rad.
-
Turn down your sound a bit. They pumped in so much bass through the whole thing, you think it's 'hitting' you harder than it actually is. Without the audio, it's the same crap trailer we've seen before, with some added amateur lip syncing, crappy Thing suit, and low budget Mr. Fantastic effects. This won't even get a rent from me.
-
The Surfer looks even worse in this one than the last one--the close-up head shot was terrible, the voice didn't seem to be coming from it at all. Alba looks ridiculous, the others look pretty bad too. Lotsa big-spectacle shots, but still no sign of actual convincing action (as opposed to far-above distant shots of something happening--where is the evidence of actual character action?). Is that Emperor-looking figure supposed to be Galactus (hope not) or Doom (hope not)? The nature shots all look like they were ripped out of the X-movies. All the swoopy camera angles in the world haven't shown me one reason to care about this movie yet, while a few random stills already make Iron Man look more interesting than this (hmm, casting, director, anyone?). Oh, and by the way: recently re-read the first 25 issues of the original Silver Surfer comic (you know, Stan Lee, John Buscema) and *every single mention* of the character's color in the dialogue (and there were several) was the same: WHITE. Not one single mention of him looking chrome-y or metallic to others. No matter what anyone says, this character design still looks like a bad knockoff of T2 to me. Who knows, maybe this film will be great. But to my eyes, it looks like junk.
-
Doom?
-
That's Doom. He steals the surfboard for himself.
-
From one married man to the groom to be:
Watch where you step.
Don't trust whitey.
See a doctor and get rid of it.
Good Luck!
-
For those who keep rehashing the same old tired joke of "too silver" and never bothered to look up what silver actually looks like compared to chrome, at least someone at FOX noticed. This trailer is a closer silver color than the T2 chrome ripoff. The story can still suck, I still keep thinking of what might have been in more capable hands. FANTASTIC Four with nods to Kirby designed machinery and dynamics.
-
Nope. Not doing it for me yet. I really didn't like the first one, so it was going to take a lot to get me into the theater to see the second. So far it's not looking so good. I am glad there are people still excited about movies like this, it gives me hope for me and the screenplay I am writing. Cuz mine is crap right now, so I really don't have much further to go in order to get it up to par with HW standards. Yay Me!
-
"Comic book movies are only as good as their directors" huh? What, movies that are not derived from comic books can get by with some second-rate hack? How about we expect good movies, period. One of the reasons "Batman Begins" worked so well was because the filmmakers made a good film. And please, get over the hang up on directors being the gods of the film world. Yes, they leave a mark, indeed, some more than others, but there are enough examples of writers (Paddy Chayefsky, Robert Towne) and editors (Thelma Schoonmaker and Verna Fields for starters) having a huge impact on their projects that the auteur theory should have died years ago. It's a collaborative medium. (Hell, I didn't even mention how producers constantly get ignored, probably because most people do not even know what it is that they do.)
-
what the fuck?...that's stupid as hell....1:47 in....
-
...won't be though.
-
before and why can't I find it?
-
Surfer passes through the busload of people...um, how were they able to move out of his way in time?
-
She'll make point five past light speed, but we're in a bit of a rush, so if you'll just get on board, we'll get underway!
-
And I hate the FF
-
Don't tell me you liked the Super-Skrull Johnny Storm!
-
How exactly did someone on this planet find that out? Did they take SS's word for it? I don't know...how can you trust a fella who doesn't wear any pants?
-
It started off well enough, grounding Batman, getting away from the camp excess of the Schumacher reign, but in the end it became batshit loco. A secret organisation responsible for the fall of every major civilisation, Commissioner fucking Gordon in the Batmobile, a device that vaporises water instantly ignoring that people are primarily bags of water. I saw FF that Summer too, and even though it wasn't as well made, I *enjoyed* it a hell of a lot more than BB.
-
to present your technology as that sophisticated, there is kind of a whole scope thingee that goes with that. Clearly a disconnect conceptually. ;)
-
the first film was an abortion but this one looks like they got some major funding behind it this time. totally agree with the whole super skrull thing. Alba looks fuckn wierd tho...why does it seem like something is off about her, especially in that first shot?
-
They gave ALOT away, but it really makes me want to see it, and hope it's great. Now, I won't see it in the theater, because of all the cell phones, talking and homies, but I'll get the DVD when it comes out for $15. Cheaper than the movie theater, and I have better sound system.
-
what you guys are talking about so what am I missing?
-
fucking excellent. I actually liked the 1st movie for what it was. and this one looks great, The thing has always looked dodgy. But this looks great.. and hey.. we got some london scenery in a trailer! whoo hoo!
-
The other day someone said that ir was wrong when anybody BESIDES VERN talked about BADASS stuff. And he was SO right. Guys, drop it. This isn't badass. You want badass? Call my bud, Vern.
-
Holy fuck was that a great trailer.
I seriously am hyped for this film now. I was tentative at first, and I'll admit, I'm still kinda weirded out by the rumor that Galactus is a cloud; however, I do think it will be quite a fun movie.
I was hoping that there would be a tie over between Spidey 3 and The Simpsons. -
And Mr. Fantastic sounds like a porn actor's name. And Fantasticar? A surfboard from space? Wow, tough to tell that the FF came out of the 60s. I dig that there's a lot of love for the FF, but I never cared for them. I did like the whole meta thing, celebrity superheroes who don't have to hide behind secret identities, but the literal-mindedness of their powers is silly. So if there is going to be a FF movie that entertains me, it's going to have to be funny like, as someone else mentioned earlier, Ghostbusters. This trailer is all surface, no muscle or bones, just like the first movie. Snore. Spidey's much better than this tripe.
-
They didn't have to get out of the way in time. This isn't the normal Silver Surfer from the comics, this is a Terminator 2 liquid metalish/phasing through stuff Surfer. Not sure I dug the trailer so much. Most of it left me feeling about the same and the Johnny Storm as the Thing bit actually makes me more worried.
-
it they duck out of the way. He should be moving too fast for that don't you think?
-
him in time?
-
I'm not really getting any different vibe from the first movie. Which I didn't hate as much as most folks on here, but I certainly am not anxiously awaiting a sequel.
-
to judge a 2.5hr film on just a trailer alone. to my mind that is amazing. If that happend with all trailers, hardly anyone would go to the cinema and not give any film a chance. Sure there are some trailers like imagine me and you failure to launch which were bad films anyway. the amount of people griping over every little detail is dispiriting. Give it a rest.
-
what's with jessica's eyes? they seem way too unaturally blue here, did she wear contacts this time or something? she just looked weird..it was like "Underworld" blue....spooky
-
I rest my case.
-
a lot better than the first one. But anyone can make a bad movie like good in the trailer. I'll see this when it comes out because it has potential, but I won't be expecting much.
-
is fairly lame but if it's suppose to be setting up some Super Skrull action for FF3 I'll by it. Trailers mean practically nothing to me nowadays. In the hands of an experienced editor a horrible movie can still yield a good trailer. I'll reserve overall judgement until I see it.
-
...my pants got tight...painting the carpet...I reckon I could still scratch some delicious cashew remains from a freshly squeezed turd...a ripe mound of mule foreskins...
Man, I am trying to eat out here! Take it down just a bit...whatever happened to...it sucks, piece of shit, fucking garbage, shitstorm...
My delicate sensibilities cannot take the filth any more! -
Larger DUMPS that had more drama and excitement than this pice of shit trailer.
Anyone who thinks this is a great trailer should still be IN underoos.
For Fuck sakes.. stop playing video games, leave your parents basement and over what is actually good. Here's a hint.. this ISN'T it. -
...on the suface seems to get the relationship right. The problem with the first move was that they didn't seem to be the FF, just guys who were sort of like the FF running around doing kind-of FF like things.
-
I'm sure that this has been answered before, but why do companies like apple not make their trailers downloadable? It seems that it's essentially on my computer anyway, just give me an easy way to keep it. I'm sure there are work-arounds but whatever.The actual trailer itself is decent but doesn't give me the same amount of hope that others have. I liked the teaser better. Plus, the attempts to "Caucasian-ize" Jessica Alba are getting really ridiculous. Either accept the fact that she's Hispanic or recast her with a white actress.
-
seen the trailer for mary poppins, check it out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T5_0AGdFic -
Shia Labeouf is the understudy.
-
... for that barely literate rant. Anymore fecal references for our reading pleasure?
-
that some movies seem to be immune from criticism for being stupid, while others have every little detail picked upon.
FF wasn't great, but it wasn't the complete disaster that some make out, and in terms of introducing less well-known characters to the general population it did a pretty good job.
I didn't like Batman Begins, but I can see why people did. It's just that I found it dull and stupid, rather than fun and stupid. -
Just because they didn't have the sensibility to feature more diverse characters back when these stories started doesn't mean that you have to be a slave to the ethnicity of the characters on the page. Exceptions can and should apply, however. Kato should indeed not be French.
-
Because no way in hell can Jessica Alba believably play "Scientist Sue Storm"
-
That does tick a few boxes, I am excited now, the more I see the first the more it grows on me, this looks like more of the same, fun, BB was a good film but its depressing to watch over and over, same for Superman Returns, Spidey and the FF may save the summer?
-
It pains me to say it but Jessica Alba looks weird in this. And not weird in a hot way. Blonde hair looks really bad on her. Plus her face kinda looks weird. Something is just off with her. Remember the Dark Angel days...WOW. Disappointing as her hotness coulda made the film slighty more enjoyable. Still think she was miscast...Rachel McAdams or any one of the many talented young actresses out there could have filled the role better.
-
not silver enough, not like thc comics.. ive seen the trailer and tell the whole movie is gonna be rubbish. they've raped my childhood
fuck already, if you aint gonna see it. so be it -
The story looks like a whole lotta nonsense and they've botched the Surfer and Galactus. But these scenes are a major visual improvement over the last. The Surfer doesn't look so hot up close (face is too flat) but all of the shots further back are great, particularly where he bats the missiles. I also really like Ben and Johnny. It looks more exciting than Superman Returns. They managed to made Alba look ghastly.
-
then like the last film (where you didn't have that) you have the shots of them in various rooms that look like they're from the IKEA catalogue. What gives?
-
Batman Begins did sort of pound the Seriousness Gong a little too much, but it has a lot to recommend it. The one thing I dig about the FF movies is that they're set in NYC. I love seeing this city on the big screen. Other than that, Johnny Flameon Man was the only redeeming thing from Fantastic Four One. Fantastic Four Two looks like it has more of that same swashbuckling verve of Mr. I'mOnFire - Can'tStopMeBaby, but aside from that, Mr. Stretchy Underpants and Gravel Boy just don't do it for me. (I wish Benjamin Grime was better realized because he's a great character, but I guess that's how the granite crumbles.) And I cannot address she who is almost like a person, L'il Suzie Stormdrain. Ugh.
-
Let's just go straight to a Silver Surfer movie. Guest starring John Malkavich as The Watcher.
-
Shouldn't the trailer have a spoiler warning? Am I only the only one who saw SS vaporize Dr. Doom when he approached him?
-
bother me at all, at least it seems real - just look at the Surfer. No wonder he's a non-character in the story. Agreed Johnny was the best part of FF1. The story was terrible and Doom was unforgiveable. It seems like they haven't learned their lesson bringing Doom back in and ruining Surfer and Galactus.
-
some of the action scenes are so fun it makes you wish someone would do a superhero movie REAL justice. Your mind just starts meandering over the possibilities for a JLA, or Superman, or Green Lantern movie.
-
And determine that Johnny can now switch powers. Of course! It's so logical just looking at the molecules! Duh.
-
Batman Begins, Sin City, Superman: The Movie, and Spider-Man 2 are the best that I have ever seen. Superman: The Movie and Spider-Man 2 are 4 out of 4 star films for me.
-
I think if Alba were more like her real self, we might be more inclined to at least halfway buy into the idea that she is a scientist, but since she's being so patently false on screen, I think there's an unconscious rejection of her as Sue Storm. Hell, everyone knows that all you need to do to be a believable scientist in a movie is where glasses, have a lab coat around, and have some glass tube thingee in the background that bubbles. Trust me, that's why so many people think that Stephen Hawking is so smart. Glasses! That guy is as dumb as a box. (Okay, a box that contains Einstein's working brain.) When do we get that movie?
-
was not Laurence Fishburne. I spose that means a lot of the stuff we've been hearing can be discounted as bullshit too?
-
movies have military people and then proceed to fuck up the way the uniform is worn! How hard is it, really, to hire a military adviser and have them show the costume director how a goddam beret is SUPPOSED to be worn!
Also, this movie is going to suck. Sorry Harry. I have a nickel-plated hard-on for the surfer, too, but this movie'll be shit. -
Your guess about the team who makes the trailers may be right, the tone of the trailer does noyt match with the quality of the source material: For instance Alba's body language of controlling something that is not there vs Alfred Molina's acting and facial expressions as Dr Octo. The second sign of flaw would be inserting the Johnny's switch power "Joke" in the middle of setting a much more serious overall tone for the trailer works as a "coitus interruptus" and that itself is a sign of internal struggle that the director wants his joke in the middle of someone elses's trailer.
Now, if the trailer people are talented at creating sequences why don't they let them create an independent series of well fused breathtaking sequences for a Silver Surfer only future movie?
-
I forgot to ask that
-
They just don't give him enough to do. I don't think they have written him correctly either. But Chiklis is a solid actor. If I'd done the film, I would have given him a rock-like skin surface, streamlined him a bit, and made him really short. That way they could have had Danny DeVito play him. Tell me that wouldn't be great!
-
I wouldn't call Marv, Dwight or Hartigan superheroes! ;D Not all comic book films are about superheroes.
-
the first one was horrible. this seems to be following its footsteps. a bigger FX budget will not save a movie, or franchise. but, whatever
-
in the first film. Her and Ioan just didn't really have anything to do. The characters were written poorly - teen angsty - when they should've been written as intelligent adults. The script was medicore to say the least, which didn't hurt so much for Johnny because Johnny as a character is childish, that's part of the fun. Everyone else suffered, though. Alba's transformation here is extremely odd to say the least. When people were saying she looked like she was from White Chicks I thought they were being too harsh and then I watched it and it's quite true. She has also been getting to skinny anyway and has developed a major fivehead. What is wrong with these girls? She is making herself ugly just like Ricci and Bosworth have.
-
I'd call Marv a superhero. And the yellow bastard seemed super villain-like as did Kevin.
-
...What's with all the bitching about these flicks? If any of you really think that FF1 was THAT bad, then you really really haven't seen just how SHIT a movie can be. Seriously, there is far, far worse out there.
-
it is either a) The Last Batman Story, or b) somebody's about to die.
-
(yes, reference to year of the bastard)
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_9ER6nVHvA
-
Neil Patrick Harris as Mr. Fantastic. Pamela Anderson as Sue Storm. Gilbert Godfried as Johnny Storm. Danny DeVito as Ben Grimm. Chris Rock as the Silver Surfer. Oprah Winfrey as Dr. Doom. And as Galactus, a bucket of dry ice and a fan.
-
and it's crap. DOCTOR DOOM ON A SURFBOARD?!!!! 'Nuff said.
-
Didn't mean to sound condescending. You probably know the difference and made a Freudian slip.P.S. You're film picks are top notch. I really love Spiderman 2, BB and Sin City.
-
no, no offense taken. it was a mixup and I tried to cover it up...poorly. :-)
-
one marketing executive that has been dying to say Fantastic Four Four. FFF can be done as kabuki.
-
it's taken to mean an all-ages superhero film. Whereas 300, Sin City and Watchmen are graphic novels with more mature content and themes.
-
Damn they write themselves.
-
It's not sexy on Brittney, nor Christina Aguilera, or anyone.
The cracked-out look is just not sexy. Gain some weight, lose the eye makeup, and let your hair bounce.
Jessica, it's your first offense so I'll overlook it right away if there isn't a second :)
-
Well he WAS pretty indestructable. :D
-
And he will fall in love with Sue and almost ruin Reed and Sue's marriage. By that point, Doctor Doom will be post op and Alba will look like Michael Jackson.
-
Give me the Copper Boogie-Boarder.
-
Just sayin'.
-
This looks really cool. Everything that was horrible about the first one seems better here. The villain is essentially the Surfer and he makes for an interesting one. He comes to extinguish our way of life not to shoot electric bolts on the streets of New York. I was not the biggest supporter of this film. I even posted a pretty nasty comment on Tim Story's blog. But it looks like aside from the handling of Galactus thing will be good.
-
with some mediocre setpieces, sporting some late 90's CGI... and considering the first one, Harry, I'd scale those hopes waaay back. It's a shame when you consider how much greatness is readily available right there in the Lee/Kirby and Byrne eras.
-
novelization, then. There are definitely a few good action scenes in here. There were in Supes Returns, too, and that film stunk to high heavens.
-
The teaser was great. This trailer is great. Everything else is speculation. Now based on the facts, this movie looks very good. Now shut up you whiny cunts.
-
that has been revealed and learn to enjoy mediocrity. You should be grateful you have to pay $10 to see this!"
-
because nobody speaks ill of "March of the Penguins." NOBODY!
-
69DUDE send us a picture of your Tim Story shrine.
-
Maybe they weren't completely rendered?
-
There's no need to debate the first movie anymore, but I really enjoyed it. I'm a casual FF fan, but I really didn't think this trailer was all that good.
-
And Jessica Alba looks like shit with that hair color.
-
Smashing hates the darkness.
-
Fact...I could take ten hours of footage of a camera pointed directly at a bucket of sand and make an exciting trailer.
Fact...trailers are not movies. Just like roller coasters, the ride is short and thrilling, but if I had to sit through that for 90 minutes, someone would have to pay.
Fact...opinions are not facts.
Fact...why do you care if people have mixed feelings about this trailer? Are you working for the studio?
Fact...seriously, dude, anyone who uses "69" as part of a screen name is a...fact. -
...Believe it or not, I don't actually have a Tim Story shrine. Unlike your shrine which is shaped like Michael Ironside's asshole. Every night you sit at this and worship.
-
Fact 1 - Bronxcheer is a cunt. A cunt that gives retards handjobs. All other facts are now irrelevant.
-
so that is one cool asshole! Thanks!
-
Next you're going to tell us you run a website called sealclubber.com that features videos of people clubbing baby harp seals to death. Oh, so shameless.
-
A baby seal walked into a club.
-
Shia for Mr. Fantastic in F4 3!!!!!!!!
-
production began. That's him as "bitchslapped missle".
-
mentally-challenged kids fuck me in all my cunt-ness? Why would I bother with a handjob when they could get the real deal? You're just pissed off that you're not mentally-feeble enough to be considered "retarded" because in fact (FACT!) you want a handjob from a 45 year old man. And you should use "cunt" one more time, because it's so edgy. You're a fact.
-
Where's Michael Ironside?
-
and this one looks much, much better.FF1 was goofy - but it didn't try not to be. This one looks to be similarly goofy, but with a lot more asskickery. Besides - the Silver Surfer is just awesome. I will gladly lay money down on a film bearing his name just to see if they pulled it off.
-
You silly little man. Really small penis. And yes, you are indeed a cunt.
-
You are my new favorite person. I'm a vegetarian and I thought that was funny as hell. Sort of like watching people like 69DUDE slip and fall on a bar of sex wax. Surf's up, dude!
-
Ecoterrorist and he didn't think it was funny at all. Which almost made it funnier than the actual joke.
-
I'm a little cunt. Well fuck me.
I love you. -
Oh my god, your a vegetarian? What a pussy! you can't even eat meat like a real man?? hahahahaha!!
-
I am terribly sensitive about animal cruelty and all that (damn you, SoylentMean!), but jokes are jokes, and you have to be able to laugh.
-
You disappoint your mother and me.
-
I'd be more worried about someone who didn't laugh at that joke, because it's just so over the top. I would ask them if they've purchased any clubs recently, maybe.
-
Not to slam meat eaters, but honestly, what did a cow ever do to you? The only meat I have now is man meat.
-
hahaha!! You wanna know about disappointment? How about your old man getting his ass handed to him by a bunch of vietnamese farmers back in 'nam? How humiliating was that?? Not to mention VERY disappointing!!
-
I heard that the cops that beat up Rodney King like to go out nightclubbing.
-
Sorry, Bronx. (Why does it have my steak, though?)

Badass? I dunno. The switching powers thing looks lame.
by chief redcock
I didn't bother with the first one because of the horrible word of mouth it got... short of universally glowing reviews, I probably won't bother with this either.

I grubbed on rare bloody steaks and 3/4 lb burgers and pulled pork etc for 43 years. I just had a change of heart. Because of the change in my diet, with the emphasis on balance and nutrition, I managed to gain weight I never could eating whatever I wanted to. I was stuck at 149 lbs for 20 years, and then when I went veggie, I gained almost 20 pounds of muscle (I better be careful, this could excite 69DUDE). So going veg turned me into a steely man. Now you'll excuse me, I need to go hug a tree.

The drunk at the end of the bar strikes up a conversation with him. "You know, it's sooo windy at the top of this building, that if you jump off the roof, the wind'll blow you right back up." The bartender just shakes his head in disapproval while wiping the bar, "Don't believe a word he says." After a few rounds, the drunk repeats the story. The man is starting to feel his liquor, but calls him out on it, "You're full of crap!" "No, its true," the drunk says. "I'll show you. Come up to the roof with me and if I'm telling the truth, I'll buy your drinks!" So they get up from the bar and up to the top of the building. The drunk jumps from the roof, and sure enough, the wind blows him back up! The man can't believe his eyes! The drunk does it a few more times and then says, "You try it!" The guy jumps off the roof and plunges to his death, hitting the sidewalk with a splat. The drunk makes his way back downstairs and sits down at the end of the bar and orders another beer. The bartender just shakes his head and says, "Man, Superman. You're a mean drunk."
-
Utter bull. Muscle is built on protein consumption. There is next to no protein in veg. There is no way you gained 20lbs of anything just by eating veg. Maybe you were pulling too much of your own pork there? God wants us to eat meat. So does Michael Ironside.

protein in a vegetarian diet. That's the huge misconception about vegetarianism, that we all sit around chewing on wheat grass and celery. You just have to be smart about how you eat, and I did gain the muscle weight, I have no reason to lie. If I'm going to lie about something, I lie BIG.

Variety reports up and coming rising star/tomboy beanpole Shia Labeouf is in talks to portray Jimmy Jones in a spin-off of the Indiana Jones movies. The first installment Jimmy Jones and the Tainted Kool-Aid is scheduled for release in 2010. Sources say George Lucas is considering directing the young star in the adventure pic. Says Lucas, "I've had a lot of neat ideas running around in my head recently. All I can say right now is a CGI whip will in it. We might even through in a Jar Jar cameo just for kicks."

Im glad they got the silver surfer right! And the whole transfer of power between them is interesting, but if gah lak tus is a cloud im going to shit in the shower.

Star Wars Episode 1, X-Men 2 & 3, Independence Day, and now these two FF2 trailers. Surfer looks awesome too and his voice has the perfect degree of sad resignation.

This looks like the same shit as the first film, only with a really badly rendered Silver Surfer flying around acting like he's T-1000. Because you know, that's cooler than Galactus. Yup. At least "Iron Man" looks cool.
-
I never saw the first one because not only did it look like shit, by all accounts, it was. Jessica Alba is GOD AWFUL casting for the character, as hot as she is, and who plays Reed Richards has always looked somewhat retarded. Plus, this "power-switching" gag not only makes no sense, even within the realm of a comic book movie, but comes off as being very, very stupid.
-
I forgot that occassionally gorillas eat caterpillars or ants, but the vast majority of their diet is vegetation. Which is interesting, because you never hear the audio on those nature shows when they feature gorillas, but if you could hear the sounds they make...let's just say they fart and fart and fart some more. (And the steroid joke was killer...nice.)
-
KILLED!
-
what the hell did they do to jessica alba? - pale with blonde hair and blue eyes - they couldve just hired a white blue eyed blonde actress, instead of making alba look like uber white girl - she is so beautiful (naturally), why "change" her - the film makers already re-imagined the heroes when they cast chiklis as grimm and that other guy as johnny (they look nothing like the comic characters, and still dont - johnny is blonde and blue eyed and ben is a big guy with red hair - when in human form) - so why force alba to suddenly appear as if she was born in the sweden from white blonde blue eyed parents? - lame ass crap - whats next, another dumb comic book movie starring a pale blonde blue eyed rosario dawson? - let the sexy naturally hot brown chicks stay hot - hollywood, always trying to "fix" the things that dont need fixing

That will be what I keep repeating in my head over and over again until the movie starts when I go see it in June. I am furious thag Galactus is a fucking cloud but I haven't seen anything to support that yet so that little glimmer of hope still stands in my mnd that this will be a good movie.
-
is Brian Posehn as the priest during the Sue/wedding dress scene.
-
But there's a part of me still crossing my fingers, hoping that the novelisation did what the Superman Returs novelisation did, and changed some details to protect the plot...ie proper Galactus becomes Cloudicus in the novel, but is the real deal in the movie.
Hell, I wouldn't even mind the idea of the cloud if it was just part of Galactus' arsenal, like he sends the cloud swarm to devour the planet and then he absorbs the energy from the cloud or something...I could ive with that because at the end, we'd see the real Galactus finding out that his fluffy clouds failed and that the Surfer turned against him, prompting the purple-helmetted one to take matters into his own hands and travel to Earth for a showdown in the third film...I could live with that.
However, I have a feeling that the Surfers powers will end up coming from the same type of Cosmic Storm that gave the FF their powers in the first movie, instead of getting the powers from Galactus.
Which is another thing...why the fuck would the Surfer obey a damn cloud? A giant being with ultimate power, I can understand...but there's no way he would follow a cloud.
Tim Story said regarding Galactus: "most will be happy".
Now most of us want the proper Galactus...not Gah-Lac-tose-In-tol-er-ant or whatever the clouds name is.
So I have my fingers crossed that Story might have pulled a fast one, convincing the world that he's usng the cloud, even saying as much in the novel...but when the movie comes out, prepare for GALACTUS.
Then again, I also believe in the tooth fairy so what do I know? :P -
From about four months ago, the one where she wrote some awesome story about bi-curious chicks going at it and posted it at 5 in the morning on the site here and got Mori all upset---well, if that sounds familiar to you, you'll remember the great "double standard" debate we all had with him.The double standard debate was of course that Harry is a filthy poster and her story paled in comparison to his standard x-rated comments. If that sounds remotely familiar to anyone, and perhaps it does, as I know so many people change their uid's which makes it impossible for me to recognize anyone, I invite you to head over to this talkback:http://www.aintitcool.com/?q=node/32476for my post about harry's awful subtitle to the "superbad" story and join in with what will become a pretty hot debate. see you all there...

Dear lord she looks freakish. They did something to her upper lip too, I don't know if that's jessica getting collagen or just a horrible make up job. Hollywood is toxic to young, insecure, actresses. They totally fuck themselves up. Alba is gorgeous, but not here. Who knows what she's doing to herself. Ugh. A shame. I hope someone reads this and tells her to get a grip. (Not likely, but I can hope.)
-
Galactus as a cloud...how long before we see:
Red Skull as an Afghani warlord who paints his face red to terrorise his enemies...
Darkseid as an Ausralian car salesman who turns insane after fracuring his skull in a car accident?
Two-Face as Tommy Lee Jones...wait a minute...
Galactus better not be a fucking cloud...worst idea since Halle Berry signed on to do Catwoman. -
I do not need to see Dr. Doom surfing.
Ruling Latveria with an iron first, combining magic and technology to kill Reed Richards, using his intellect to out-think everyone and make them look like a douche, etc. all good.
Surfing...not so much. -
Gotta disagree Harry. These trailers for Marvel movies and the movies themselves better watch out, as they are heading for self-parody. The seams are starting to show. Rousing music with a choir "rising" (no pun intended) to a dramatic showdown, must be epic stuff right? Looks like the same packaging to me.
-
Reed says in the trailer, "Your encounter with the surfer has altered your molecular structure".
And, no-one dies laughing when he says it. Would not someone, anyone, say, "why the fuck is this alien silver thing riding a friggin' surfboard"? Does Galactus like The Beach Boys? -
Fix the surfers lipsynch, make him look less 1991 ILM, recast Invisible Girl, throw in a giant monster somewhere, and don't change Galactus and I want my movies fantastic not feasible
-
Alba looks amazing.
-
Good actor he is but not as Reed Richards, so not right, so not right...
-
I want my browned skinned hottie back! Here she looks all "White Chicks",damn you Wayans brothers!
-
....but now this trailer makes me wanna see this sequel. Who knew?
-
Anyone else see what I see at 1:52? I had to create a damn account just to see if this was something in the original film or not.
-
I wear a size fifteen shoe. Yet, my tanmember maintains only 45% of that length. No wonder my initials are A.V.G.

Color designations are usually pretty sketchy anyway. Her father is of Mexican descent and her mother is of French and Dutch. So if you mean "European" by white then she may very well be mostly "white." The large majority of Mexicans have some European and some native American descent so do the math.
-
alba alwyas had those juicy lips - the reason she looks weird here is because shes not a "white" girl - the blonde hair and blue contact lenses are throwing you - her big luscious lips arent the problem - if ben grimm can be played by a short bald fire plug, why cant the invisible girl be a hot, brown eyed, big lipped, olive skinned boner inducer like alba - im making too big a deal over this - but honestly - to "white wash" such beautiful girl (in order to pull in a bigger audience) is so annoying
-
is subtracting her clothes, dividing those sexy legs, adding my DNA and multiplying her genes!
-
So what you're saying is Jessica has an Albatross?
-
Nice trailer, I expect as much, but no real amazement here.
-
I thought the trailer was marginal at best, but I know the film will do quite well. Michael Chiklis is absolutely wasted on mindless crap like The Fantastic Four. He's picking up a paycheck but mailing everything else in because the script is silly and Tim Story is directing. I'll skip this one.
-
I thought the trailer was just so-so. I'm not gonna see that movie in the theatres, I'll wait for DVD. $10 says it won't live up to the hype, although I think Chiklis and Ioan are good actors.
-
Alexander Vito Girolami. Think Tony Soprano for real, and watch your ass. lol :)
-
that my all be true - but the fact remains, she looks weird with the blonde hair and blue eyes - shes still hot, but everyone knows what alba looks like, why mess with it - i mean, her hair was already lightened for the first ff movie - now its bleach blonde and she has devil eyes - its not like storm in xmen - she has white/silver hair - its storm
-
But you certainly are an ass. lol
-
the silver surfer is a great character with a great origin story - rivaling that of superman - more epic in scope than most comics, its operatic - and galactus, come on - the ultimate in god-like comic book villains - finally technology catches up to the notion of putting the surfer and galactus in a movie... and we get this? - why tack them onto a sequel of a less-than-great movie - and galactus as a cloud? - well, i hope the (frank miller)"ronin" movie delivers
-
There will be water if God wills it.
-

-
As long as they make Doctor Doom the gothic, heavy, gritty metal monster he's supposed to be, castle and all. That was my biggest problem with the 1st flick. If the villain can't deliver, the movie flops. We don't see much of Doom in this trailer, though. I'm cautiously optimistic.
-
That big the Surfer flies down is the same one Chris Revees stops the catburglar on in the first SUPERMAN movie.
-
Draining the Thames down some giant hole was already done on last Christmas's DOCTOR WHO special...
-
according to how its being sold
-
Pffft.
-
What's the deal with those over the top fake eyelashes and blue contacts on Sue Storm?!! I think Alba's hot quotient doesn't need "tweaking". She looks a little thin and creepy in this one. I wouldn't throw her out of bed but...
-
Too bad they wasted the Super Skrull concept.
-
Bryant Park, next to the NY Public Library (where they hunkered down in the weather movie). I LOVE how you see those flying fellows tearing down 42nd Street and you see cars flipping over, but the humans walking on the sidewalk right next to them just keep on walking. It boggles the mind.
-
not every superhero film has to be realistic and dark. The problem is TOO much darkness, too much realism in most cases. It needs to be brimming with visual imagination like Kirby - he knew what's up.
-
I didn't hear no Clancy Brown in that trailer...
-
story is the pits and then you see cool little scenes like that - in the grand scheme of things? All for naught. I want to see the big, bright and shiny Marvel Universe, the one that had problems but was optimistic, that was about adventure. Then in about 20 years they can start making dystopian crap like Ultimates.
-
riding a surfboard. That's just so cheezy.
-
up about Transformers. You have them claiming it would be dumb to have Galactus as a giant alien dressed in purple, but then you'll have Doctor Doom ride a surfboard.
-
The real Victor von Doom emailed me.Quote:"The events in these films are apocryphal. The Surfer I know could control the board with his mind.Johnny Storm is not the Super Skrull.And I am not ,and have never been gay."
-
Looked and sounded just like every other freakin' trailer out there. Lots of whooshing, epic choral music and fx money shots. Just like every gawdawful flick I've seen in the last five years.
The first FF flick was second only to "Daredevil" in Marvel's modern-day hall of shame. I'll likely check this sequel out on video, but that video did absolutely nothing to get my hopes up. -

Shia Lebouf CONFIRMED as FRANKLIN RICHARDS in FF3
by the artist fka vesuvio
Switching powers? Give me a fucking break. At least they've fixed the silverness a little bit. Perhaps I'll give it a rent (shit I'm already giving it with the slightly better and bthe latanly better looking Ghost Rider and 300, respectively). Speaking of heroes, does anyone else have this feeling of having already seen the whole lot of Spiderman 3, from all those hours of footage Sony tossed online? I'm seriously considering skipping the Spider Fever this time, specially after how much S2 disappointed me.
-
likely to end up in something worse.
-
his new surfboard.
-
I thought independent companies bid on marketing...
-
Yeah, 'cause it's not like that hasn't happened REPEATEDLY throughout the history of the comics. These cats flip flop their powers every six or seven years.
-
That looked good. Jessica Alba seemed like a convincing Sue Storms in that brief flash. The Thing looked more like rocks than charred flesh. (Reed Richards still looks like IQ isn't a power he was born with, but hey....) Looks nice. Very nice. Either the movie's gonna rock or we've just seen the best moments of the film.
-
I have liked both trailers, BUT the 1st one wasn't gr8. Disapointing was the way I saw it. It never really bothered me visually, but the characters and plots were comatose. Silver Surfer, to me, looks badazz. However, I still think all we are seeing is the cool spots of the flick. Predictably, the plot & characters will suck again. The Torch having the flaming Thing hand looked good, but I thought that was the power of SuperSkrulls. Not real up2date on my FF knowledge. I think the movie will be like the 1st, but with more visual($$$) effects. They should've put in that little robot dude they had 4 awhile in the comics, lol. Peace all u peoples. I just wanted 2 drop my opinion on it. Be easy.
-
they are really effing up the whole Galactus deal. They could've done better than a cloud.
-
This pile of shit is going to suck as bad as the first pile of shit did. I'm so pissed that I actually wasted the amount of consciousness it took to remain coherent through the first movie, that I want to stab my eyes out to punish myself.
-
Look, this movie already sucks. First off, Galactis is a fucking cloud. How Lame. Second, we already know that the only way the F4 can stop him is with the ultimate nullifier. everything else is just f'ing lame. this move already sucks. why re-write history? Fuck this movie, fuck it's video games, and fuck the assholes that are trying to destroy the most powerful mortal team in Marvel history. What a fucking disgrace.

You said it yourself, Fox is the best in the business for trailers. That's what there meant to do, lure you in. But it's always the same, most flicks don't live up to the trailer, and this one will be no exception.

That looked good. Seriously. I really hated the first one. I hope this one will be better. Oh, and what the hell happened to Jessica Alba?!
-
Yaay!

I don't see that anyone's mentioned the new commercial at the official site:
http://www.riseofthesilversurfer.com/
It's got a few new moments not in the trailer. -
without Durst, there ain't no foolin' the audience.
-
That trailer looked kick ass, but i won't be fooled by FOX. Galactus as a clod is just to much to freaking bear, and even if he's not the actual cloud I still doubt that justice will be done to him. Nnot bothered by the switching powers bit. Not bad. Alba looks terriable. What in the hell is the make up artist doing?? They really should have left her look the same as the the first film.
-
I gotta say the Surfer looks damn good. I just hope this isn't the case where we are seeing all the action shots or most of them.
-
But is that Ultimate Carol Danvers 26 seconds in? Oh and Super Skrull, anyone..?
-
Looks like a TV movie, the photography is so flat. Why hire the same people to make the second one when they cocked up the first. Didn't anyone learn from Batman and Robin?
-
It's been a movie and two trailers already, and we have STILL not seen any awesome display of Mr. Fantastic's stretching. Reaching a hand here, a foot there, or whatever, is boring. Were are those shots like the panels in the comics where he's filling the entire panel doing a million things at the same time with parts of his body and body-parts going every which way? In fact, can anyone recommend the perfect panel showcasing the powers of elastic? When I make my FF movie, I want to make sure I have a good visual reference, even though I'll be using rubber bands...
-
Harry's comments directed toward these movies are indeed too venomy and come from a hatred of Tom Rothman and no other reason.
You didn't like the first movie and you're set against this one also, we get it. Move on. -
the first was not a life changing experience but it was fun AND entertaining. This one looks great... in fact the whole promotion for this flick has been top-notch for me and I'm trying hard to think of a better trailer this year. And those of you who are complaining about how Ms Alba looks are indeed homosexuals. She looks extremely delightful in this - I'd do her... repeatedly! Hail the gloriously brown Ms Alba!
-
Those that were complaining earlier in the post about the surfers voice being badly dubbed simply did not notice that EVERYONE is out of sync - the picture is ahead of the sound you fools! So stop hating on this thing and enjoy the movie... or indeed go and have a prolonged wank!
-
Same crap, different year, nobody cares.

OT, trailer good, movie most likely bad. Will rent. Now, back to it... Peter Jackson for JLA!

Again the plague that is Q Time is used to wind up people who dont have it. I am definately NOT going to see FF2. Any film producer who releases trailers on Q Time first , is going to alienate a lot of customers. FF2 will bomb !!

Is that the best these doofuses could come up with? 100% thoroughly uninspired screenplay 101 HACK material?!!! What's coming in #3, Reed and Sue switch bodies? Franklin is born and switches with Johnny until Dr. Zoltar can switch them back. My god, what derivative, unoriginal drivel. Why not just cut the FFF4 (aka Fantastically Fucked by Fox Four) entirely and have the movie ONLY about the surfer. At least he's got a story to tell. EEESH!!!
-
= lips on Optimus.
-
If they wanted to have a FF member having multiple powers, um, just have the super skrull. I think the trailer does look pretty good, but this movie will be bad.
-
Marvel and DC, quietly and made no more comic books. Some would be delighted. others would be up in arms.
-
a comic book movies (well more than one) Robert Zemeckis. He is the only director in hollywood with, the vision, the balls and the ability to bring a cutting edge vibe to the table. You all know its true. He is the only one who can do it.
-
I've really liked the look of the teaser and now this trailer, just hope Tim Story doesn't deliver another turd of a movie.
Can't wait for Iron Man, stills so far look good! -
...with that 'switching powers' crap? The cost of their cheap joke will is credibility. I guess the kids will like that. Otherwise, it looks like fun. I'll see it. But still mock it.
-
... I think at most, all we'll get is a Brett Ratneresque mish-mash of crappy script, ludicrous plot, bad acting, but a few cool action scenes. Except the action sequences will lack any impact or pop, 'cause Story's a shitty director.
-
...blue contact lenses. Didn't she have brown eyes in the last one? But with that bronze skin, she looks like either A) A Latina trying to pass for Anglo, or B) the orange chick in aAdy Sovereign's "Tango" song!
-
... That'd be "Lady Sovereign"... ugh!... serves me right for drinking on a Monday night...
-
The Fantastic Four is in it. I don't know what it is but when you see the Silver Sufer in that preview it's like it's a trailer for a different movie then you're brought back to the reality that this is going to suck when the Fantastic Four pop up on screen. Maybe it's the actors they chose or the horible make up on The Thing or the bad taste in the mouth from the first movie. I'll be waiting for the DVD on this one.
-
Crap is still crap; you can put whipped cream and sprinkles on it all you want. It still doesn't change the fact that is is still crap.
-
I was impressed with this trailer. If the story is good, this film should work out just fine. I loved the scene where Johnny was turning into Thing.
-
...featured Dr Doom, in a spandex suit, with no mask/cloak, on a surfboard, with a mild form of Johnny Storm's flame power (unless he just happened to be on fire), and the Thing's left hand and forearm (unless it was big for some other reason), throwing a punch. In Chinatown. Hmm. So Doom uses the Surfer to "Gain" the powers of everyone else? Thanks to their 'molecules being affected'?
I like dumb movies, so long as they are told with wit, zip, and panache. I like Flash Gordon. I'd like this to be good. Hmm. -
comparing it with this.
-
Clearly surfer will be the best thing about this. And yes, this definitely does not compare to Flash Gordon.
-
...I guess that just shows how high I set the bar for dumb movies. John Boorman's 'Excalibur', too. Wonderful stuff. That's how you make a dumb movie - gloriously ludicrous, with everyone taking it 100% seriously. None of this winking-at-the-camera nonsense they make nowadays.
-
The more I think they shoulda pinned everyone down and made em watch Flash Gordon before making Fantastic Four. The guy upthread reckons Ghostbusters, but no, I say Flash Gordon. I always prefered that to Star Wars anyway. Imagine Doom played not unlike Max Von Sydow played Ming. Except in a Gothic castle instead of some sort of sci-fi 80s Chinese restaurant palace. "Bwah-haha! Bring me Mr Fantastic! Now he shall witness the final triumph of Dr Doom! Behold my Magna-Ray! Bwaa-haha! KNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL BEFORE DOOM". (bit of Superman II thrown in for you there).
So, that's what they shoulda done. Oh well. My original point was that if this sucks, it's not because it's dumb, it's because it's shit. -
Actually, that's Johnny, not Doom. Doom's the guy getting punch. Oh, and spoiler alert.
-
call oneself a producer of movies and then stand on the sidelines and let others berate movie studioa, while the owner of this site claims to be a producer of movies and has nothing to show for it. mori is the best asset this site has his knowledge of movies, is second to none, but even ends his reviews with his real name, these days and makes no secret of the fact that he lives and works in LA. They let talkbackers berate the studio system. but what are Harry, Mori and merrick doing to better it? Discuss.
-
Yes, it is. And that's why hacks like Brett Ratner, Tim Story and Paul Anderson probably kill some time here by laughing their asses off this site. Because those fellas you mentioned actually spends time covering their news, instead of getting the job done themselves. But hey, I won't complain, TB's still one of the places where you can find your best laughs on the web these days, and the ONLY reason this site is still getting any hits. The news are old and/or uninteresting, the reviews are shit, and yes, it is hypocritcal.

-
He seems to be sticking out his jaw a bit, and have slightly longer hair than usual... threw me off.
This makes me wanna dig out the review of the original that one of my English Language students wrote for me. Yes, despite my inarticulate and typo-filled posts, I taught English for 2 yrs in Japan... so if you wanna see a review of FF written in English by a 16 year old Japanese schoolgirl, maybe I'll post that in the next FF TB. Spoiler: she can only remember two of the four main characters, and describes the film overall as "moderately amusing". I gave her high, high marks. -
He's the perfect man for the job. I am completely convinced of this. At one time, I thought James Cameron would be the best man for the job. But as time has moved on, I've become even more convinced that Peter Jackson is the better choice. Mr. Jackson has such a gifted eye, like a painter with great artistic vision. And he would be perfect for a live-action visualization of the top guns in the Warner Bros. stable of superheroes, including Superman and Batman. He is perfect for bringing an epic feel to JUSTICE LEAGUE, which is exactly what it needs. And if I do hear/read such news of Peter Jackson directing JUSTICE LEAGUE, I think the geek inside me will spontaneously explode into a mushroom cloud. I would be more excited for JUSTICE LEAGUE than ANY flick in all of cinema, ...surpassing my hopes and dreams for the STAR WARS series when I was a kid. Yeah, even THAT much. Well, ...I guess that's a tough call to make. But in truth, I just couldn't get any more excited about a project in the works. Peter Jackson for JUSTICE LEAGUE, enough said.

and find a new director, then we may have a watchable movie on our hands.
-
God... I WISH someone would pay me $5.50 to be a tard! That'd be nice, 'cause that's like a 24/7 job right there! lol Seriously, I liked what I saw (compared to FF1.) I'm not saying it's Shakespeare.... heh Not even saying it remotely compares to the comic book. (IS there a Shakespeare comic book?? lol) I'm just saying it's watchable. And, if the whole thing is like that, possibly even enjoyable.
-
It's the fans' right to bitch and moan about substandard fare. Both Sue and Reed are cast all wrong. If they had picked stronger actors, the movie would have been much better. Still plenty of faults with it? Sure, but besides the screwup with Doom, the characters of Sue and Reed were the next big screwups.

I think its unlikely that a JLA movie, JDanielP...
by the artist fka vesuvio
... will feature Superman, Batman OR Wonder Woman, if that matters. The men in charge up on the hills are well aware how much a shitty take in a jointventure like this might stain several franchises at a single blow. That's the same reason why I think an Avengers movie wont't have Captain America, or Iron Man. They'll go with the minor characters, mark my words. By the way, I might be completely wrong, since I don't know shit about comics; this is my opinion as a movie guy.
-
I'm reviewing a TRAILER, not a movie. :P Having seen FF1, I still have serious reservations about FF2. But the preview gives some hope. Yeah, Alba looks too teen-ish to be Storms. One of the crew members of the Flying Dutchman in POTC:DMC looked more like The Thing than The Thing did in FF1. The story and action were equally weak/nonexistant in FF1. But having seen that trailer I get the impression they're actually TRYing this time... maybe?
-
Imagine how different that would be if Michael Bay were directing with his Lens of Reality. In the real world, the US Government couldn't detect grass growing in their backyard. :P Or if they did, their intelligence would say it's pudding.
-
Because what I just saw is going to stink the place out when released. It looks awful beyond words.
-
... yeah... I can see the overlong "Wonder Woman and Starro the Conqueror sharing a comical and magical moment slipping around on the winter-frozen ice of Central Park Reservoir" in my mind right now... urrrgh!... where're my effin' Excedrins?...
-
ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.I agree with your logic The Artist FKA Vesuvio on the team-up movies. While potentially a kickass movie could be made, it never would be. I personally would be so jazzed up to see an Avengers movie with Cap, Iron Man, Goliath, Wasp...and your token 'strong-man'. Herc or Thor may be difficult to convey onto the big screen, but dammit, this movie needs to be made!
-
If you watch the sequence from 1:46 - 1:48 frame by frame you'll see that Johnny actually has the combined powers of himself, the Thing, and Mr. Fantastic. He is flying and flaming, he has rock hands. His left hand has been stretched larger than his upper body. He stretches it back 50 feet or so from his body, and then flings it forward. So, at some point in the movie, the Fantastic Four become Johnny, the Fantastic 1. That just sounds stupid to me. Why not just have the team WORK AS A TEAM instead of giving Johnny all their powers? Surfer looks good, though.
-
NewsCorp is eyeing the Dow Jones. To buy it.
-
Since the overall theme here today seems to be pessimism...: The Thing still isn't massive. They have the texture looking about right, but he's freaking SHORT and still too thin. If he's coated in rocks, it must be about a 1cm thin skin. He should be big, bulky, tall. At least he's STARTing to develop a little bit of a cranial ridge, but it still isn't as pronounced as it should be. His head should be at least half again as wide as it is. He should have arms like treetrunks to make you believe him when he says it's clobberin time. He should look like he could take on The Hulk. Right now, he looks like a good stiff breeze could knock him over. But at least the skin texture looks right. As I said, Alba looks like she's an 18-year-old version of Sue Storms. Better than before. She's always hot in my book. Hopefully she'll nail the character a little better. Reed Richards looks like a moron who fell asleep leaning against some wet paint. Johnny looks like a reject from American Pie with superpowers... which is probably about right.... They screwed up Doom in FF1, so I dread them screwing up Galactus in FF2... giant stormcloud... ugh... ("Galactus the Galactian, Volguus Zildrohar, The Traveller, has come - choose and perish!" heh) The trailer makes FF2 look better than FF1, but it's still no ace.
-
the dow jones it means more Fantastic 4 and theres a not damn thing you all can do. murdoch doesnt give a flying crap about quality and never did. He makes things for the lowest common denominator and anyone who reads the sun knows this or any of his god awful newspapers. That is why 24 is such a success.
-
But the movie will still suck. Anyone remember how intense the Star Wars AOTC trailers were? I just watched them again a few weeks ago and they made that movie look like the greatest thing since the original SW. They were Fox trailers too.
-
They make it seem kind of cool but imagine a whole other movie of Alba as Sue Storm and bland-man as Reed. It's still going to suck. And they're not showing Doom because he looks ass-horrible.

and is very shrewd and he did buy myspace for 300m. and a 17% Stake in ITV. We will end getting more crap programming "under the guise" of popular programming. Murdoch bought into the brand of Fantastic four because it was popular and he is all for given the people what they want. more choice but less quality. FF may look shite to the people who have read the comics but to the wider world and murdoch , what johnny storm, rex reed and the thing looks like makes no difference. its all brand, a successfull brand and its makes money and that is all Murdoch is interested in is making money.

because Reed was busy trying to make his elastic dong rigid enough to penetrate the hot ass of a woman he can feel but cannot see. Personally, I think that's a game that would occupy me for a while. Imagine the weight, texture and taste of that honeybunny squatting on you, but not being able to see it. It would become my new fulltime job. Fantastic Fourplay
-
**SPOILER** Even worse than Cloud-actus to me is the rediculous "power switching" plot device. By coming in contact with the Surfer, Johnny discovers he will switch powers with any member of the team even if he just brushes them....except there are scenes when he touches people and it doesn't happen...and then at the end of the film, instead of switching powers, he somehow absorbs the whole teams powers, and defeats Doom single handedly.
This is that scene from the trailer where you can see Johnny with a huge flaming "Thing" fist...basically a Super-Skrull riff. -
...but my memory is a little rusty. Didn't the not-so-good Doctor steal the Power Cosmic at one point, board an all?
Not defending or hating on the film one way or another. I'll catch the finished product during a matinee. I'm just saying that putting Doom on the board may have a precedent.
p.s.
Doom in the first film sucked. Ciarán Hinds for Doctor Doom in the reboot (hey, a guy can hope).
p.p.s.
I like Miss Alba in general, but she is not a great actress by any stretch. Send her my way to be fired. I'll break it to her gently. Unless she likes the rough stuff. -
All that you actually wanted to see in the FANTASTIC FOUR sequel...is at an end.
-
the original. Fox just doesn't care anymore. Usually I could care less if this movie makes money, but I'm really, really hoping it bombs. Although, judging by the success of Ghostrider this movie is going to make some money.
-
Hey Abom, did you kids (I'm assuming you have more than one) enjoy the first FF?
-
In the show 24. the ads for season five seemed to suggest that jack bauer was the worlds most wanted. None of that happened, untill he kidnapped by the Chinese at the end of season 5. Point is maybe galactacus isnt in this movie at all. Maybe they are saving that for FF3.
-
If they just left out all of the football references it would be a perfect fantasy film.
-
...A really good FANTASTIC FOUR movie could be excellent, exciting, beautiful, fun, etc. but never "badass". Maybe BATMAN is badass, or Wolverine or the Punisher. And that's fine.As always, we reserve final judgement until we see the movie. I'll be there based on the first trailer, although Cloudlactus and just about every word out of Tim Story's mouth as well as the first movie have tempted me to stay away.This just isn't the kind of material that you can modernize, like X-MEN was. They needed a filmmaker who would go for the 50 foot tall horn helmeted alien in shades of purple. Someone geek enough to go for retro-future, Kirbyesque trippy visuals but with story sense enough to turn it into a mainstream movie. From what Story says and from the first film, he doesn't seem to be the guy.In EW, he talked about the first film being hampered because it was an origin story and that accounted for the lack of action and uh...plot, at least plotting by Dr. Doom.Tim, have you seen SPIDER-MAN? Origin story? Check. Action? Check. Villain plotting? Half-check.Somebody, probably Arad, seems to have sold the Warren Ellis nano-cloud thing. As somebody who actually read ULTIMATE WHATEVER, I can tell ya, any comic series that takes two full issues for the heroes to step through a door isn't something you can base a movie on...unless you don't want people to watch.

They actually should've put that IN THE FREAKIN' MOVIE and it would've been awesome, instead of Dr. Doom riding a surfboard, say? The plot of this film is lame considering the scope of your average Fantastic Four comic book over the years. They could've done this up right - it just needed big 'ol Galactus in NYC and Silver Surfer being Norrin Radd, not some plot device with a MacGuffin surfboard. Does Dr. Doom get Surfer to give him his board by offering him candy?
-
They put Dr. Doom on a surfboard.
-
these films like this and not heavily stylized as Buzz suggests. Those Kirby designs are begging to be translated to the big screen. Even Spider-Man, while slightly stylized is still playing it WAY too safe.
-
...in the Lee/Kirby FF and went on a rampage of terror. It was a pretty good story with great visuals. The idea of Doom on the board probably isn't one I'd use in film. Honestly, I probably wouldn't use Doom in this film because they messed him up badly in the first film and the actor sucked, as did all the actors except Michael Chiklis. That's why I'm looking forward to IRON MAN. They have a good actor in the lead.I think the Surfer could work on film. He's a great visual character. I'm not too much of a Surfer fan in the comics. Would anybody who is that much of a cosmic flowerchild ever herald for Galactus to begin with? When Stan Lee tried to do a Surfer series, the character was just irritating. For almost 20 years, Stan wouldn't let anyone else write the Surfer without special permission, which was weird. You could write Spider-Man, the Hulk, Captain America, the FF but not the Surfer. So his solo book tanked until a late 80s version came out with a more proactive Surfer.
-
The trailer does make it look like a decent sci-fi special effects romp...but to Fantastic Four purists...I'm sure it'll be a letdown like the first. They destroyed doom in the first...now it's time for Galactus.
-
BSB, at first, the idea of Sue swalling a load seems like it would be creepy to watch--who wants to see their sauce shoot into mid-air, then dribble down some unseen pipeline right in front of you?
But then I thought about it, and it occurred to me that as soon as Sue takes in the manseed, it too will disappear or at least become more translucent as she incorporates (swallows) it. It would have to work this way; it's as much a part of her now as her blood, her bile, her loving mucous, her sphincter lube. When she turns inviso, we don't see any of that stuff. So, to make it more fun, right before you're about to blow, pull out of her unseen mouth and unload on her invisible face, which will then turn visible where the mayonnaise drippeth. This concludes today's physex lesson. -
I doubt anyone really cares about him stealing powers per se, it's making a surfboard the power source to begin with and then having Doom ride it - lame. Even by comic book standards. Why would Galactus remake the Silver Surfer only to then invest all of his power in the stupid surfboard? That is like a gaping plot hole.
-
and boy did she come across as a right bitch. She gave nothing away and you were left knowing very little about her or opinions. She is also very religious person. Very private too.
-
on a surfboard, but then saying Galactus can't be a giant guy in a purple suit. Doom on a surfboard is instantly ridiculous. The Surfer kind of has to be handled a bit carefully, but as you can see from the trailer, he's so striking that the corn factor is gone almost instantly. The best Surfer story is still the one where he rebels against Galactus. That is really the whole point of the character - the juxtaposition of his zen self with what Galactus requires of him and the moral tension there.
-
because he got out of being herald and let him go on his merry way getting involved in Thanos, Kree/Skrull war, etc.
-
...Galactus placed a field around Earth that was sensitive to the board. I can't remember if Doom thought of it on his own or if he was tricked by Reed, but he decided to fly into space. SPLAT! I know Doom didn't appear in the FF for maybe a year or two, although he probably villained in some other Marvel comics, having also battled the Hulk, Thor, the Black Panther, etc.
-
him was interesting. Kind of like Hal Jordan GL, it's more about the setting and supporting cast than the main character.
-
...go into making movies in general. Particularly these so-called 'difficult movies' (mega-effects actioneers w/ known & loved ensemble supers, for example). It would be unfair to point to even a handfull of factors. However GOB Adama, like life, is not fair. Just put the freaking fanboys behind the wheel. The suits, or whatever faceless archetype you want to put in that place, need to realize that all comics do not equal one another and cater to a single basement-dwelling Trekkies in a SNL sketch demographic. Fox is particularly bad in that regard. 'The Fantastic Four' is about a family and should be targeted as such (hey, it worked for 'The Incredibles'). Not the "try to please everyone end up pleasing no one" shotgun attack that has been going on. Make a family film (not the insipid kind, but the fun kind, like the first 'Star Wars' was) out of the FF, risk pissing off the 'badass' crowd (who just might still get into it), but make a good FF movie with a solid goal. Save the badass for Batman.
And when I say put a fanboy in charge, that does not mean JUST the lead actor. Ben Affleck obviously loves Daredevil and Nick Cage seemed pleased as punch to be Ghostrider, but it wasn't enough. Raimi loves Spider-Man. Gold! Favs loves Iron-Man and so far things look good there.
And yes, there will always be truly notable exceptions (anyone know if Nolan was into Batman prior to landing the gig?), but how can getting a writer and director who at least have a solid like for the source material not be seen as a safe bet? I mean, HALF of Kevin Smith's success is his enduring image as 'one of the people' (accurate or not). -
"realistic". This goes for Transformers as well, anything in the arch myth/fantasy departments needs to steer well clear of realism.
-
She's 7 (8 next week). She was kinda heartbroken that Ben's wife ditched him when he came in Thing mode. She was mildly entertained by everything else. I think she's seen it twice. We have it on DVD but as I've mentioned before, she never asks to watch it. Unlike Spider-Man or Spidey 2, which we have and which she (and now her 3 year old brother) will repeatedly request. Our family has watched the Spideys at least a dozen times through. The kids have probably watched parts of it even more. And now that I've got Spidey 2.1, the frequency is only gonna go up, although I'm guessing my daughter, like myself, will skip to those segments that are different or augmented in this version.
In fairness I should say that my daughter (again, going on age 8) has asked to watch Ang Lee's Hulk a few times. She likes it. But if for some reason her viewing is interrupted by a family outing or whatever, she won't come back to it, whereas with Spidey she would. And she had the same opinion of "Superman Returns," which I took her to see at the theatre. Our opinion was "meh." She prefers the Chris Reeve movies, and we can recite the General Zod lines verbatim (we can rattle off any lines by anyone from any of the Rocky films, I should mention). So there you go. This Saturday I'll take her to see Spidey 3 (I'll have already seen it at a midnight show). And we'll most assuredly see Transformers and FF2 at the show. While my expectations are not high, I know she'll dig'em and I'll be mildly amused. Especially by Jessica and Shia, who come to think of it they really ought to get together in the same movie. Jessica could be the hot piece of ass she is, and Shia could be like a 14-year old wannabe who has the chance to score but doesn't know what to do.
Uh, I'm sorry pillow, what was the question? Oh, yeah--my daughter liked FF, but only just a little. We are Spidey people. Although now I recall that she very much enjoyed "Batman Begins," and that DVD has played a few times at home. But ours is a Spidey house and this week I have an arachniboner. -
rendered as well as The Thing? I think they were both great.
-
to get religious on my privates. I'll make a convert out of her. Maybe I'll sing "Personal Jesus" to her as I park my schoolbus in her garage...of love.
-
What with Nova, other heralds...at least for the beginning of the series. And I completely agree that the FF are not badasses, but more like adventurers. They shouldn't be left on Earth, they should be in the negative zone, or involved in a Kree/Skrull War. Something big and, well, fantastic.
-
Radd is kind of a blank. Everything with the character is very internal and angsty - not a strong external characterization like Superman or Batman.
-
since you are most definitely jazzed that you can share some great movies with the kids, and that they seem to love it as much as you. I'll have to wait a number of years until I can unleash Spidey on my daughter (she's only 15 months old). On the positive, she loves Stephen Colbert. Waves to him and blows him kisses when she sees him on TV. Who can blame her? So Abom, what's your rating for Spidey 3?
-
I call guys like Tim Story or Bryan Singer mercs. They want to make big pictures, they don't care much about the material. That doesn't make them bad people or bad filmmakers. Tim Burton didn't give a shit about BATMAN, although it kinda shows. The problem is that Marvel is run by a guy who wants to be a Merc.I feel that a true Fan Boy at the helm would be a disaster. Kevin Smith's SUPERMAN script was continuity heavy and full of references and guest heroes, etc. Sure, it got screwed with but it needed screwing with. They just didn't screw with it in the right way. Mark Steven Johnson was too much of a fan boy for DAREDEVIL. We got a movie that aspired to Frank Miller's grit but failed, while also failing as a superhero fantasy. Johnson succeeded with GHOST RIDER on the power of that image. I doubt if most people even knew GHOST RIDER was a comic book, or cared. It was a cool image and an unintentionally fun B movie, more grindhouse than GRINDHOUSE.SPIDER-MAN, while not a perfect movie, got it right. Not slavishly devoted to the comics but embracing the source material. Sam Raimi is a real filmmaker. So is Ang Lee but I don't know what the hell Nick Nolte dosed him with when he was making THE HULK.
-
any sort of mass appeal. You can see who, while changes may be made, honor the character and what they stand for. Spidey is the perfect example of the right way to do it. It certainly appears that Iron Man will fall into that category. I did not enjoy the Hulk at all, but I do like Daredevil. Not many people do (playground scene), but I like the extended version.
-
I guess what I am asking is: Didn't he actually use the board when he stole the Power (making for a good symbol in a visual medium) in the comics? No reason to assume the board had the power, it just came with it.
-
...Of course, the guy didn't have much to work with. The Thing should be sullen and, rightfully, full of self-pity. But Johnny should have anger too. Obviously, he's a hothead. Making him an astronaut, and therefore a cocky pilot was a smart, more realistic choice but it just wasn't well done. They didn't carry it off. They might as well have made him the impulsive adolescent or collegiate from the comics. Giving him an extreme sports outlet was a mistake. This guy wants to slam headfirst into the battle without thinking of the consequences. It's too bad the film gave the character so little to do.
-
Buzz. I actually liked it as well. I was never sure if you wanted a hard R Ghost Rider, can't remember if we discussed this or not.
-
did steal the board. The board was infused with the Power Cosmic, but it was an extension of the Surfer, it did not render the Surfer powerless.
-
...and sucked his power into these oversized discs on his hands with all that misty, spotty Jack Kirby energy/flame/vapor in the air. Then, he jumped on the board and started making moutains appear in the sea and causing severe mayhem. The power wasn't in the board. The power was blasted from Galactus' eyes into the body of Norrin Radd. Then, Galactus created the board. The Surfer has power over his board and can even convert it into pure energy, allowing him to escape the barrier around the Earth. Once, the Hulk wanted to leave Earth and he happened to encounter the Surfer. When the Surfer said that he couldn't leave the atmosphere, the Hulk tried to steal the board but it stayed under the Surfer's control, giving the Hulk a severe asswhooping (ironically, the Surfer had the power to rid Bruce Banner's body of gamma radiation and free him from the Hulk curse, but the Hulk kept punching the Surfer in the face every time he tried to help him).All of this crap should have been left of the movie. Like Superninja said, Doom on the board but they can't do what Terry Gilliam did in TIME BANDITS before CGI?
-
Powerfully $hitty!
-
I concede to your 'Storyteller' point, but that could be seen as becoming a fanboy after the fact :), so my theory (and more importantly my ego) still holds.
-
I'm not much of a hard R guy when it comes to comic books and comic book movies. Really, GHOST RIDER reminded me of the ridiculous movies I grew up watching in rundown theaters. Most of all, that flaming skull is a visual image that people respond to, almost like some kind of Jungian symbol. Guys with flaming skulls bring out the punk kid in all of us, especially when you put them a hog.
-
do a superhero movie. Cuarón can handle the subtler moodier stuff. I mean the sense of atmophere and detail invested in his Potter film are astounding. Verbinski can do a JLA movie, I'd love to see his Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman arguing while repelling an army of the dead brought forth by Ares armed with LexCorp technology modified with Ra's Al Ghul's WMDs.
-
about the Blaze character and tried to make it interesting with the father/son theme. My favorite image is actually the Western Ghost Rider, though. I'd take a prequel on that.
-
...My memory is rusty
As for the 'power' of the surfing Doom image, I suppose what I am attempting to say is: Nothing says "I have the Surfer's power" as quickly as putting someone on that board. Now how accurate that assessment is... well...
It's just one of those symbolic things. Like Mjollnir or Cap's sheild or Power Girl's rack. -
Verbinski's JLA! Me like-ey!
-
There ya go, a new catchphrase.
pillow, I'm not sure how I would rate Spidey 3 yet since I haven't seen it, but having read the novel, seen 2nd unit shoot here last year, and watched the trailers, I'm guessing it'll be up there with the other two (with two getting my nod as the better). I think the mass appeal of Spidey is that Peter is an "everyman" who just happens to get these powers. He's a young guy trying to balance out a life of school, work, and getting the girl, and he's delightfully awkward at it. Unlike Superman, he's not from space and he's not invulnerable on earth. Unlike Bruce Wayne, he's not a millionaire with lots of toys and time on his hands. And the catalyst for Peter--the whole "with great power comes great responsibility" could be true of anyone (human), and his self-imposed guilt over having not thwarted his uncle's killer could, theoretically, happen to "regular" people in similarly tragic circumstances. It's a very human story, I guess is what I'm saying, and his fallibility is the charm. The fact that he is a normal guy who gets this "gift" is underscored by the fact that he's excited by his own amazing power. When he goes webswinging, he does it with a "Whhoooohh!!" And it seems like the last thing he wants to do is use his strength against bad guys, especially since so far they've been sympathetic villains -
and this iteration of Doom DEFINTELY doesn't need help in that department. Also, I want a Thor movie. Verbinski can direct that one, too. It needs more Surtur. Why? Because you can never have too much of a giant fire demon.
-
some kick-ass mjolnnir hurling and Beta Ray Bill, shamoan! And Loki!
-
And Daniel Day Lewis can play Strange and Cate Blanchett can be Clea.
-
...then, I got the reprints in Marvel Essentials and...HE'S ON THE DAMNED BOARD. Same as now, comics were very uneven then. They could create the first Galactus/Surfer/Watcher storyline...then, this? The rampage itself was well done, though. Also ridiculous, during the rampage, the Surfer was sort of forgotten.On the other hand, wouldn't you try out the board if you were given a shot? I'd be coming to a town near you in a heartbeat!
-
So please FTB if you haven't heard
-
Do you think Vladimir Kulich (Buliwyf in 'The 13th Warrior') could carry a movie? Thor is such a specific physical type, ya know (and Eric Kramer is getting up in years and pounds)?
And, yeah... Big ole' fire demon! -
the rest of the Warriors Three. Man, I want to see that translated on screen. They can cast Karl Urban as Thor and that would be okay because Thor is a hot meathead.
-
and the trailer hasn't made me want to give a chance to the second. In all reality, I'm actually kind of done with the comic book movies. Just kind of becoming cookie cutter. I'll see S3 but then I think i'm done.
-
Donations are needed for FTB.No Beta Ray Bill though.
-
I love it when people suggest him for the role of Thor. Always makes me laugh.
-
I wanted to point out on that page, at the top, check out the ad for the Spidey 3 diorama. Sandman looks like he's squatting to eject an excruciating sand-turd. It must be really abrasive, but can't he just transform his large intestine and sphincter into silicate? He probably doesn't even have to wipe--now that's power
-
money. There are some excellent stories there. They could even tell seven stories in chapters that are losely tied together culminating in the big finale. http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0167261/lotr2_CN-2-204-21A.jpg.html?path=pgallery&path_key=Urban%2C%20Karl&seq=3 See? That's Thor.
-
Terminator 2 was what, sixteen years ago? The CGI in Spidey 3 better be damned eye-popping or I'll lose my woody in the show. Same for FF2, especially since Surfer is a doppleganger for T1000. So they better put something on the screen that reflects (pun intended) the improvement in technology. That, and some nude swedish lesbians kissing in a hot tub. Thank you

After spidey, the industry saw how much money they could make. So instead of actually making a good movie, they worked like hell to spew out cheesy scripts as an excuse to use CGI and make money. These movies are half ass molds of their original characters. But the studios know now that people will shell out money to see these movies. It's all style and no substance anymore. I'd rather have the memory of a character I loved envisioned only in my brain instead of seeing it bastardized up on the big screen
-
So they don't want to do Galactus coming in person (they want him as a cloud) because they want to go more realistic? Because a guy made of rocks, a guy made of fire, a guy made of rubber, a guy made of metal, a girl who can turn invisible, and a FUCKING INTERPLANETARY BEING WHO IS ALL SILVER IS REALISTIC? Tim Story can kiss my ass.
-
if they would do that, i might actually pay to see that movie. Just for that scene and then walk out
-
Movies, music, etc...bleed it dry. And a big shout out to my lady Kathy..we're up to $46.12! We're on our way baby..on our way!Abom, I think that bit of humor should be added to the movie.
-
...Ben and Johnny are lounging around in the Baxter Building, watching a ballgame or something, when they start hearing cries of "Oh, Jesus Reed! Oh, Jesus, Reed!" Curious, Johnny walks down the hall to investigate, opens Reed's door, and there's Reed naked in bed with a monkeyboner, seemingly alone--cuz like, Sue's invisible and stuff. Cuz then it would look like he was having a party for one.
-
she's a fucking revolution
-
After the so-so response to the first film, #2 needs a push to get people interested in it. This could be helpful. Come-on, do we really need another trailer to get us in the seats to see Spidey this weekend? But we need something to get us into Fantastic 4.
-
and shit would appear and fall to the floor because he was introducing anal
-
I guess fans pretty much lucked out with the Spidey series, getting Raimi and Arad and a crew of people who actually care, and to whom it's not another job, and to whom the characters mean something. There, I just did a post without referencing naked girls or thanksgiving fecal corn. I knew I could do it.
-
Johnny would once again get to deadpan, "That's gross." It was one of the few lines that worked in FF, and makes sense to revisit it especially in the context of Mr. Fantastic getting spastic on the drastic asstic of his invisible missus. Story needs to start mailing us checks now.
-
And Kloipy, KB is the future.
-
i figured it out
-
She's nude supine akimbo in front of me. I'm "explaining" the faux pas of the new SW trilogy to her.
-
Sooner or later one of us would have come up with it.
-
that just made me piss myself a little
-
how silly it sounded for Lucas to have evil Anakin say, "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil." Because bad guys don't rationalize like that--they're simply BAD, and they would not give their perspective with ANY kind of relativity (eg YOU guys are the BAD guys, and Palpatine has been betrayed). But Natalie here just ain't getting it. She just keeps grunting, "Oh! Jesus!" and trembling. Damn, she's cute

must go to the night shift at FTB central. Have a good one

...I'm not seeing SPIDEY 3. I saw and liked the first two. By number 3, it might as well be a TV series. But I will be seeing FF 2 because the trailer interests me (of course, I've seen about a billion bad movies based on cool trailers). And I'm interested in IRON MAN and another BATMAN. Other than that, I hope I'm done.
-
down to a tee. Easy on the eye, not too taxing on the brain.
-
reinforced that the review of the novelization was true. The review for the novelization said the story sucked, so I guess the movie will suk too. Haryy is also excited so that means it will definately suck.
-
when they haven't really made one yet?
-
But I would give him Kirby kraggle face a la Darkseid to make him look more alien.
-
Allz I want is my Rhino fight and I'm done with Spidey for awhile.
-
it was bogged down by the fact that they had to tell an origin story? Guess what, idiot? Superman: The Movie did an origin story and it is perhaps the greatest superhero film of all time. So quit making excuses. On top of that, Spider-Man 1 pulled off a good, but not great film and had to do an origin story. Batman Begins dealt with an origin story as did Batman ('89) and both were good films. So shut your hole.
-
I just read on IMDB that early villain reports for Spider-Man 3 was going to be the Lizard (somewhat obvious), Vulture, and Kraven (played by Oded Fehr). I would absolutely go bonkers if Rhino was in a Spider-Man film because I just like the way he looks.
-
He's just a dick in a shitty helmet. Yes, the concept of that guy eating planets is stupid even for a comic book movie. I think it's a good idea to portray him as some kind of force of nature. I think they could get more creative than a cloud though. And did someone say these movies should be like Ghostbusters? Who exactly in this cast do you think could pull that off?
-
but not sure about him playing a villain. Vulture I think is sort of redundant at this point (no more than a cameo needed - I'd rather see Mysterio or some of the whackier guys), the Lizard, redundant since EVERY SINGLE VILLAIN is a sadsack they try to make you feel bad for. Whatever happened to just being a bad guy? Yeah, I love the visual of the Rhino as well, just watching Spidey flipping circles around him taunting him would be great. Of course, Aunt May will probably be telling Peter how Uncle Ben used to do flips around her and killing all his joy.
-
just sooo much more entertaining. I mean, if you don't care about visuals or scale or anything - I guess a cloud is for you!
-
for our hyperintelligent audiences? I know, let's make Thor a bouncer in New York who only thinks he's the son of Odin. That way it is realistic, but we'll have him shoot lightning out of his fingers instead of a hammer, because who uses hammers anymore?
-
Never liked her all that much in the first place, and she looks so unnatural as a blond. The first movie really didn't excite me all that much to warrant a sequel. This one looks better but still doesn't excite me as much as Spiderman or X-men (first two) And who's bright idea was it to put the T-1000 on a surf board.
-
mountains is beautiful, though.
-
they cut it off.
-
Thank you for your originality with BrokeBringingSexyBack. I've never heard that before...ever. Seriously, I haven't. :|
-
he waxes.
-
does it need to be brokebringingsexyerrsuperninjaanchoritezombiesolutionsback?
-
I still can't forgive them for fucking up Galactus too. Who is letting this shit happen? First Metrosexual Dr. Doom, now "Cloudactus," it's like the morons who won't let DC Hero movies get made also have a choke hold on the villains of Marvel (Magneto and Dr. Ocotopus so far being the only un-ruined villains). I guess I should be glad they haven't been able to ruin Apocalypse.
-
Amen about Apocalypse. That's why I don't want another X-Men film because I fear that they'd try to use Apocalypse and I know that they would mess him up. BTW, Superskrull has been cast. It will be Leonard Nimoy in his Spock ears and hairstyle. Only difference is that they will CGI his skin green. But it will clash with his blue Star Trek uniform.
-
This movie has Johnny "Super-Skrull" storm. Do you think we're going to see Super-Skrull after this? Don't believe me, watch the new trailer again. You can see a shot of the torch flying around all stretchy with a huge flaming "Thing" fist!
-
FF3 here we come.
-
...but I should know by now that what you qualify as "cool" or "not cool" is usually the it's polar opposite. Here's WHY it sucks...1) The "hot babe" military officer angle is weak. Much like the "hot babe" physicist with Alba...but she's SO damn hot we overlook it...2)No sign of Galactacus...that's a shocker...I wonder why???(rhetorical) 3) Reed Richards...'nuff said.
I will say Surfers voice sounded great. Cool shot of him slapping missles out of his way too. Harry your knowledge and love of FF is matched by none. I just think your emotions got the best of you here. Back slowly away from the ledge and think it thru brother. Don't let them ensnare you. IT'S A TRAP!!! -
I meant "Galactus"...In addition, as another poster noted...remember the trailer for The Phantom Menace?? Best trailer ever!!!!
-
He's a second string villian, and was never interesting. The guy is an underling and nothing more. I don't really see the F4 headed in the direction of fighting the Skrulls. They just aren't my top priority. Bring on the Inhumans, Ananiliahas and the negative zone, The frightful four, and the Mole man. I could go for them before the Skrulls.
-
You know it and I know it.

C'mon people, lets chill on the Cloud thing...
by the artist fka vesuvio
I mean, the first Mortal Kombat movie also finished with the main bad guy appearing as a cloud, but then a sequel came a few years after... to set everything right.
-
I hate Johnny "Super Skrull"; and I think that they should have left SS and Galactus for a third movie, and had the Mole-Man or The Negative Zone in this one (I would have said the Skrulls, but we're getting that here). FFINO!!!
-
Even your name is not affable, Soylent.
-
Damn.
-
They should've just given him the classic armor and tunic.

than what you linked, Justice.

...for what's absolutely guaranteed to be a wack-ass piece of shit. Still the wrong director. Still mostly miscast. I'd say I watched the LAST one for free, but actually watching it cost me a tiny piece of my soul, and that is altogether too steep a price. Nice trailer, though.
-
Why oh, Why they put her Blue contacts???!! Now she looks like one of the chicks from WHITE CHICKS. NOT HOT!
-
I seriously wanted to drown the fucker in a vat of cat piss the first time around. Damn near the most unlikable superhero character I've ever seen in a movie. Maybe it's casting, maybe it's the writing, possibly it's just the character himself, but I haven't been so annoyed by a character in a movie since Chris Tucker in FIFTH ELEMENT. Good God, when he set the Burger King billboard on fire, I felt like doing the same thing to the theater I was sitting in. He's like Poochie from The Simpsons, only not a dog and not funny.

...back slowly away from your computer and unplug it before you hurt yourself. If you're on Windows, there's Quicktime, Quicktime Alternative, VLC, Mplayer, Media Player Classic, and God knows how many other ways. On a Mac, it's part of the freaking operating system, OR you can use Xine, VLC, Mplayer, NicePlayer, QT Amateur, and God knows how many other ways. On Linux, you can use Totem, Xine, VLC, Mplayer, and a number of other methods. It's not fucking rocket science.
-
Saw it on youtube through rotten tomatoes. Too much confusion. FF2 will make inroads on Spider-Man's box office. Spider III -- 350 million. Surfer -- 275 million.
-
comic books, too. At least it was faithful characterization.
-
...Has been cast as the young Dr. Doom in a spin-off based on the popular Marvel supervillain. Says Labeouf, "I'm just so honored to be working on another superhero movie, you know? I mean Constintine was wild, but this is like crazy, you know?" The Sony produced Young Vic Von Doom Chronicles is scheduled for a May 22, 2010 release.
-
Through the trailer I just saw the whole movie. This movie will suck major ass. don't get me started on what the last one sucked!!! There's no way in hell I'm going to see this movie. I'll wait for it on cable, maybe then I'll see it.
-
The phones have been ringing off the hook. Kathy the Hut will be back to her horrendously overweight self soon...and then it's hot tub time!
-
Good actor? Check. Decent writing most of the time? Check. OK, so far so good. What? That's the helmet? Slightly different than the comics! FUCK IT, I'm out!
If that is your actual opinion, then I am at a loss. There is a reason fans are seen as picky and fickle to the point of being blown off entirely, and that kind of thinking just makes it harder for us. -
It was the rest of the costumes. I'm not saying that they all had to be in yellow and blue spandex but everyone's costume looked the same and it looked lame. If you are going to give everyone that black leather jumpsuit stuff, spice it up somehow.
-
What mag were those in? She sure is purty. I would DO STUFF
-
You love, but also hate for being unattainable and stuck up about it. From many accounts, she's hard to put up with in real life. Not that it would matter; you just gag her and bag her. Hot chicks who are humble don't pose for photos like that. Only hot chicks who KNOW they're hot and are willing to work that angle pose for pics like that, and millions of fanboys engage in hate-sturbation.
-
I agree with you in principle, it would be really cool to see. However Prof X has more to do then play fashion designer. I found the notion of more uniform costumes to be *ahem* suitable in context.
-
Jesus, you've got to be kidding. As long as the characters 'act' like who they are supposed to be, who cares they they all wore black leather suits. It doesn't matter that Cyclops wasn't wearing what he wore in the comics, however, he was a complete waste in the movies. He was supposed to be their leader, not some pussy who did nothing.
-
I'm supposed to go downstairs for court, but now I can't get up
-
For me, I like to see some hint of color instead of just constant black running across the screen.
-
to stand out since the gov't hasn't been all open arms to mutants. And Rebecca gave us glorious blue...God bless her!
-
No, it's not a missing masterpiece by John Milton--it's the carnal bliss that awaits us all in the panties of sweet Alba, where the freshly shorn muffbiscuit smells not like fish tacos, but like dewdropped-sprinkled tulips and carnations in an Easter bouquet...
-
O.k. then, not interested.
-
Too many restraining orders or something to that degree.
-
Of course no one will buy into an alien. So he will be played by a mop bucket, a bag of leaves, or a stack of old newspapers.
-
Nothing can detract from the beauty of it, not even if a mottled brown tubeworm started snaking out of her cornhole. It's just that fine a caboose.
-
I'm actually starting to lok forward to this one.
Surfer is awsome. Action look great. Even Doom looks cool on that mountain.
That Pirates bit with the two ships fight in a whirlpool still gets the badass award. But i do like what I see here.
Now let's get Hellboy 2 on screen -
That's what they're complaining about now? Ha ha ha! Oh God, this is ridiculous....
-
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Everything about this movie looks like it's going to be the movie to beat this summer. Seriously. btw, Part 1 wasn't perfect, but it wasn't bad either. See Spider-Man 1 and X-Men 1, both were on par with FF 1, but the sequels blew them away when they got the orgin stories out of the way.
-
1. She looks crispy. Like one of those 711 corndogs that have been under the heat lamps too long.
2. When Sue Storm is using her power on the helicopter she looks like the psychics from that episode of Southpark when they are battling Cartman. "Nya Naaaa Naa Naa Naaaaa!" -
is probably saying, "Let's get lower! Make her skirt blow up!"
-
Sixteen years later, and Cameron's polymorph looks far more realistic than this F4 nemesis.
-
BattleField Earth had a great trailer and look at what a bag of shit that was. Dont trust trailers except for 300
-
You Alba hating fools! She is HOT! See her and abuse yourself!
