Damn It !!! by garcicr	Dec 26th, 2006 05:24:12 PM
Sooo close to 1st
Was the surfer wearing sports googles by garcicr	Dec 26th, 2006 05:24:51 PM
Well was he
Terrible CGI by Howieboss	Dec 26th, 2006 05:26:21 PM
Thats all!!
Well... by tie3456	Dec 26th, 2006 05:29:08 PM
...let's see if they can build something solid on top of the mess that was the first one. I won't judge till I see it.
The trailer was fun by MetiphisLabs	Dec 26th, 2006 05:29:19 PM
Not gonna nitpick it unnecessarily, looks neat.
NYC Buildings by RenoNevada2000	Dec 26th, 2006 05:32:31 PM
Nice to see some actual NYC landmarks like the Chrysler Building. BTW- was the building that the Surfer "rides" down, blowing out windows, the one that's across from Bryant Park behind the library? Isn't that where Chris Reeves stopped the suction-cup cat burglar in the first SUPERMAN flick?
I thought it looked pretty decent by ewokstew	Dec 26th, 2006 05:34:39 PM
No worse than most CGI I see nowadays. But, is the Human Torch actually as quick as the Silver Surfer? Don't think so. That would make for darn long intergalactic travel unless Radd can fold space. I'm still seeing this.
Eh... by MonteCristo2	Dec 26th, 2006 05:34:40 PM
Eh...it just wasn't as (how can I put it) good as the first Fantastic Four teaser. Teasers should have dramatic dialogue intercut with intense action. This just had poor CGI...intercut with poor CGI.
Best thing about the trailer was Brian Posehn by colematthews	Dec 26th, 2006 05:36:17 PM
as the priest. The tone of the trailer was presumptuous as hell. F4 was not a huge hit, people are not anticipating this film in any way. They opened the thing with these supposed "hero shots", like their faces are so iconic that we don't need introductions. Then the complete lack of any story, and to top it off, the fucking logo at the end. The Fantastic Four is not Superman, or Spiderman, where you can just flash an "S" and everyone immediately recognizes it. I bet a lot of people could watch this trailer and have no idea what the title actually is.
Why? by Huelya	Dec 26th, 2006 05:39:11 PM
Why god? Why did they need to destroy one of my favorite comic book heroes? Is it because I'm a woman and the fact that I love comics? That's just so not fair.
Lovely! by ImJustSaying	Dec 26th, 2006 05:42:56 PM
That was a really refreshing trailor, nothing cringe-worthy, nothing out of character. Sure I wish it was directed by someone who could make epic, iconic, goose-bump inducing shots, but it sure ain't shite. I loved it, my only real complaint was the kinda bland music. Remember when the FF were COUNTING BODIES LIKE SHEEP TO THE RYTHM OF THE WAR DRUMS? That trailer rocked. The movie didn't, but that trailer did.
Brian Posehn Saves The Day... by Aquatarkusman	Dec 26th, 2006 05:45:31 PM
... after they discover that the T-1000 is vulnerable to withering sarcasm! Apart from that, I'll bet that about 1% of the population... probably less... have any idea who the Silver Surfer is, which will make the title bewildering and incomprehensible to them.
We should've had a Silver Surfer film by MontyPigeon	Dec 26th, 2006 05:45:35 PM
Instead we get this crap introducing the Silver Surfer to the movieworld. Special Effects from the 90s, hurrah! Roll on something else because this has crap labelled all over it.
colematthews by oh_riginal	Dec 26th, 2006 05:45:45 PM
Was the first movie a flop? Somebody told me once that it made a ton of cash, and was a financial success. I don't keep track of that stuff so much anymore, so I can't say myself. It definitely wasn't a hit with the FF fans, although I thought the movie was okay at best. It should have been so much more, and could have been much much worse. I still say the Thing should have been CGI, or at least made to look bigger, like how Gandalf was made to look big when in the same room as a hobbit. Silver Surfer doesn't look too bad, and should look a lot better when the CGI is tweaked up later in post-production. I'm pretty nervous about Galactus though... how will they pull that off convincingly? Galactus can go either way in a movie, either incredibly awesome, or horribly ridiculous.
What the shite? by johnnykool	Dec 26th, 2006 05:45:51 PM
1. SHH beat you guys AGAIN. 2. The SS looks like complete shite. It's "Revenge of the T1000" staring Robert Patrick's son. 3. Thank God Chicklis is returning as Ben - the only saving grace of the first movie. 4. Hey, Huelya, how YOU doin'? ;)
Hmmmm by Jared Crowe	Dec 26th, 2006 05:46:34 PM
It wasn't bad for a teaser but dear god, why would they try to do this for the second movie? They needed a better build for this. They needed the second movie to deal with something else and then at the end, have Surfer come down. He didn't look horrible though. I just don't like the eyes.
No idea if the film will actually be any good, but... by filker-tom	Dec 26th, 2006 05:50:18 PM
DAMN they got the look of the Surfer exactly freakin' right.
Ohhhh that was.... by streakerfreak1983	Dec 26th, 2006 05:53:59 PM
Not cool. Sorry but talk about bad acting and script.
I liked it by kuryakin	Dec 26th, 2006 05:57:08 PM
I thought the effects were rubbish but I liked that it was a scene from the film rather than the usual 'best bits' style trailer. I also thought they did a good job in realising that one of the only characters they got right in the original was the Human Torch and the whole "that was coooool" thing was completely right for the fella. The lazy way the surfer dropped down and looked back at Johnny was good too, although was Johnny wearing his FF suit when he fell to earth? Did the tux burn off? Rubber under a tux? And why does Jessica Alba have lines at the side of her mouth? What is she, 50?? She looks like Jane Fonda or something...By the way, Happy Christmas everyone!
Look it was good, you can't not admit that by iamnicksaicnsn	Dec 26th, 2006 05:58:34 PM
Very good trailer. And how can the Thing and the Human Torch be more iconic? Yes, yes, the first movie was god-awful garbage that deserves to only be played over and over to terrorists, but this trailer was actually respectable. It probably had to do with the fact that Jessica Alba didn't talk with her bullshit latina mannerisms that Sue Storm doesn't and shouldn't have.
DAMN by Pipple	Dec 26th, 2006 05:58:45 PM
Unfortunately this has to follow the first movie which was garbage... Hopefully this isn't a waste of 8 bucks. Nice bunch of cgi...
He's just to..Silver by huxathon	Dec 26th, 2006 05:58:51 PM
He was never shiny like that in the comics, infact he looked more like Dr. Manhattan. Oh well, don't know why I'm complaining, the first film was toss, so my hopes aren't exactly high for this one despite the possibility of having Galactacus showing up. Oh and they have put Tim Story to sleep haven't they? He's not doing this is he?
Better then transformers.... by ekocher	Dec 26th, 2006 05:58:58 PM
well..it will be!
Nope. by Mechasheeva	Dec 26th, 2006 06:00:10 PM
First one was shite. Not fun shite, mind you, but mind-numbing oh-my-God-what-have-they-done shite. This teaser has the same asstastic special effects (seriously, the Surfer looks WORSE than T2) as the first movie, gives nothing in terms of plot or characters, and the chase itself isn't even an action scene worth getting excited about. Gimme another Spider-man 3 trailer, please.
Waaaaaaahhhhhhhh by waggy	Dec 26th, 2006 06:00:15 PM
i'll be the first to admit the first one sucked donkey balls, but this trailer rocks. the movie itself could very well still be awful, but i see no reason for all the complaining at this point (minus the fact that we're on an aicn talkback).
Better than transformers... by T0NEW0LF	Dec 26th, 2006 06:01:30 PM
or at least it's going to stay closer to the source material.
Trailer is awesome... by Angry Mean Panda	Dec 26th, 2006 06:06:49 PM
The second I saw the bunch of repressed fanboys on this site declaring it terrible I knew I must watch it. Yes, the first movie was questionable, but it isn't unprecedented for a sequel to be markedly better than it's predecesor. I am guardedly looking forward to this.
Bitch, Bitch, Whine, Whine..... by dancinggopher01	Dec 26th, 2006 06:07:05 PM
Welcome to AICN. It looks good, and I will see it......and Jessica Alba is hot. That is all.
Hmmmm........ by Jimmy Jazz	Dec 26th, 2006 06:07:41 PM
Aside from the dubious looking CGI, I must say that this does not look bad. It couldn't be any worse than the first one. Are they actually going to try to put Galactus in this? How are they going to to pull that off?
Oh, and the Surfer does not look worse than the T-1000 by Angry Mean Panda	Dec 26th, 2006 06:08:18 PM
Please stop with the hyperbolic monkey shit, you whining cunts.
Are we going to criticize the CGI again???? by Briannicus	Dec 26th, 2006 06:08:34 PM
We still have 6 months before this hits, I'm POSITIVE that these are not the final effects. Once again, if you're capable of doing better, step up and prove it, if not....shaddap!!!
The problem with this trailer isnt the effects by s0nicdeathmonkey	Dec 26th, 2006 06:11:06 PM
or the shot composition. The problem is that the score has no engery and thus, it drains the trailer of all momentum. otherwise, nice stuff.
Jessica Alba is not hot.... by T0NEW0LF	Dec 26th, 2006 06:12:11 PM
in this preview. check the skin bums 23 seconds into the trailer. now compare to 25 seconds into the trailer.
All this bitching about the Silver Surfer is stupid by Rambo in the Bronx	Dec 26th, 2006 06:12:24 PM
The silver surfer is silver...how the fuck else can you make him any different from the T1000? There's not much else to work with.
I hope Stallone reads this talkback by PantherMatt	Dec 26th, 2006 06:14:17 PM
... so he can realize just how special his Q&A was, and how well respected he is on this site. Lighten up, kiddies. The FF trailer looked fine. Jean Grey's hair wasn't red enough... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
That trailer needs to be rated 'R' by Heckles	Dec 26th, 2006 06:14:24 PM
Because it was TITS.
I really, really hope... by DrBanner	Dec 26th, 2006 06:14:53 PM
... that they don't fuck up Galactus. Other than that, I thought the teaser was pretty good. Seems better than the first one, but that isn't saying too much.
Looks good, but it was just a scene! by TheMackenzie	Dec 26th, 2006 06:17:08 PM
That's not a teaser, that's lazy. But I think it looked good, loved the way the Surfer moved. The first one was campy as fuck, and I think they might just nail this one. Quick question: Can Johnny survive in space without oxygen? Maybe that's why he was longer no a flame...
I really hope. by Briannicus	Dec 26th, 2006 06:17:09 PM
That they do something that won't look completely ridiculous onscreen, like trying to transfer comic style Galactus into live action, think he'd look kinda strange with that big headpiece and purple costume. I honestly don't think that would look right.
COMIC BOOK STORY LINE by SaluteYourShorts	Dec 26th, 2006 06:18:08 PM
what is the famous fantastic four-silver surfer-galactus comic book storyline that so many people want to see on the big screen? please explain it!
SILVER doesn't equal CHROME by Calico Pete	Dec 26th, 2006 06:18:12 PM
I liked the "photo" released last week. Seeing that in motion would've been way cooler. Also, I officially prefer the Ghost Rider flames over the Human Torch ones. HT doesn't look like he's on fire. He looks like a reddish-orange guy covered in fire-like energy. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just think it'd be more visually interesting the other way. Last point... I'm sick to death of trailers breaking up shots with those quick fadeouts. They don't induce suspense. They induce frustration, and they take away from the dramatic effect.
woah by steff_so_funny	Dec 26th, 2006 06:18:17 PM
that was cool!!
WOW THAT WAS............. by kmw4121	Dec 26th, 2006 06:20:53 PM
actualy quite good, infact i loved the look of the silver surfer wasnt to sure what i would think but i liked it, did anyone else notice on the apple hd trailer page it lists the cast and the guy who played doom in film one is listed ???? what the fucks up with that shit aint he a block of metal????
Teaser Trailer of the Year by AlwaysThere	Dec 26th, 2006 06:21:14 PM
A real taste of things to come.
That was great! by Billyeveryteen	Dec 26th, 2006 06:21:52 PM
Really because the shitty 3 of the FF, was largly absent.
Saw the trailer on SuperheroHype... by iron pills	Dec 26th, 2006 06:22:18 PM
And then came here to see the reaction. Just what I suspected. Negative, negative, negative. He's too silver?!? Uhhh, last I saw his name was Silver Surfer!? Jeez! Yeah, the first one was no Spiderman or X-Men, but it wasn't Elektra terrible. It was fun. I'll be there opening weekend to relax and enjoy a fun, superhero flick. God knows Spiderman 3 (which looks to blow away every movie this summer) looks intense and dark enough. This flick will lighten the mood. Then I'll be checking out Transformers also. You guys be bitter if you want. I for one, plan to enjoy these flicks without any baggage attached. P.S. I also plan to see Ghost Rider this February, so sue me...
I take it back the CGI wasnt terrible by Howieboss	Dec 26th, 2006 06:27:33 PM
.........err yes it was!
KMW4121 by SaluteYourShorts	Dec 26th, 2006 06:29:27 PM
Dr. Doom will not be in the film. The actor who played him, however, will have a prominent part in the movie playing Carnage Grossman. Carnage Grossman will be a sophistaced businessman who was formerly Carnage (of the Spider Man comics). Carnge Grossman will have a wife and 2 kids and a job selling insurance premiums. Carnage Grossman's backstory will be explained in next year's independent film 'Spider Hey', which will come out several months after Spider Man 3 hits theatres. This time around, Spider Man will be played by veteran comic actor and stand up genius Bob Newhart. He'll also be playing the part of Mary Jane, but in obvious drag, to convey a sense style the regular film series lacks. This movie will be considered part of a new trilogy: Spider Hey Spider Elbow Spiderina
WELL/ROTHMAN by THE KNIGHT	Dec 26th, 2006 06:31:14 PM
I haven't seen the first movie since it looked like crap but this trailer looks somewhat decent... Has the Tom Rothman bitching already started?
Looks awesome, but.... by Klaus Herzog	Dec 26th, 2006 06:32:05 PM
even the coolest trailer in the universe couldn't persuade me to watch this after that shitfest, that was the first one. On the other hand, if Mori, Quint, Vern or Massawyrm actually give this a good review, I might reconsider. Not Harry though. He lost all his sequel-reviewing credibility after that review of "The Mummy returns".
I wont judge the final film from that trailer by We	Dec 26th, 2006 06:32:59 PM
But if the filmmakers assume from the start of the film that the characters in the film have somehow earned the sympathies of the moviegoing audience through the first film and that they've earned they're place in the staple of beloved comic book characters on the big screen (and if they do cute throwaway references to the first film as a result of it), I think they're dead-wrong... The first movie is one of the worst comic book movies and attempted franchise-starters I've ever seen. They'll be forced to give us a decent screenplay to begin with. But I guess it works for twelve-year-olds.
That was fucking terrible. by Mr. Nice Gaius	Dec 26th, 2006 06:32:59 PM
Brian Posehn is conducting the wedding?! Are you kidding me??? And how ludicrous is it that the Surfer shows up right overhead and in sight of the wedding?! Come on! But lets not even mention the fact that the beginning of this trailer is an exact rip-off of the "Transformers" teaser opening. Did that opening shot look familiar to you, too? The first movie was goofball shite. Looks like you're about to receive a second helping.
I'm no much of a comic book fan...... by Kai_Mah'gra	Dec 26th, 2006 06:35:40 PM
....and more to the point I've never really been much of a Silver surfer fan. But could someone please explain to me what the logic behind the surfboard is? I mean aside from the fact that it ostensibly makes him look cool in a "dude" or 'surf's up' kind of way. But from a comicbook sci-fi perspective, what is the purpose of it? The fact that he's silver can be explained away by his being an alien ( which makes the surfer angle even more ludicrous), as can his powers; but what purpose does the board serve? Does it give him power? Is it what he uses to fly with and if so why a water-based device, why not a hang-glider or a jet-pack-like thingie or something? It's just that the surfboard makes no sense whatsoever in the context of a flying Superhero and more so one who flies in space to boot. It's almost like having a superduper fast flying superhero......in a deep sea diving suit complete with the weighted leaded boots; or a deep sea hero like Namor or something, having an underwater parachute or hang-glider as his insignia or something. Admittedly that's not as cool as the "radical gnarly dude" surf's up -guy image, but the reasoning still applies. Anyways, I don't read the comics so I was only curious; there's probably a well-thought out answer in the comics (like maybe his home-world is full of radical surfer-dudes, and the surf board is their calling card), but I'm pretty certain this question will come up quite a bit next year when the movie is released and non-geeks wonder why. Oh, and the trailer was pretty decent, despite all the obligatory AICN fanboy whinertories .....
As for "fucking up Galactus"... by Mr. Nice Gaius	Dec 26th, 2006 06:36:12 PM
They better do Galactus ala G1 or else this piece of comic book garbage is a complete FU to the fans. (Sound familiar?)
saluteyourshort all i can say is......... by kmw4121	Dec 26th, 2006 06:36:15 PM
thats fucking funny shit if it were true it would probly be better than the ff2 but since it aint we will have to settle for this or the michael bay fuckup that will be TRANSFORMERS may your swords stay sharp!
Surfer has always been chrome by ShiniGamiSan	Dec 26th, 2006 06:36:27 PM
He's been chrome since I bought FF 48 on the stands. Look at the cover of FF 50 or even SS1. The 1st FF Movie was just OK. Changeing the origin of Doom was a sin. But the last battle was pretty good. Let's hope they get this one right. But I have to agree, jumping from FF1 origin to FF 48 is kinda.... They could maybe have done a Mole Man film or Even the Red Ghost and set-up an intro of The Watcher. Maybe next film can be the Inhummans or the Negative Zone.
Fantastic Four Was Actually Pretty Good... by MST3KPIMP	Dec 26th, 2006 06:36:43 PM
Certainly better than Spider-man 2 and most of the other overated comic films. It had a fun energetic style and the chemistry between the cast was quite impressive. It would'nt surprise me to see the FF films become the most consistantly sastisfying of the marvel films. All you haters are really "strecthing" when you proclaim this a dissapointment.
Am I the only Aintitcoolnews reader that.... by SantiagoAtez	Dec 26th, 2006 06:36:57 PM
...hates superhero / comic book movies? Anyone else out there? Alright, the first half of Batman Begins really had my attention. But I guess that was the exception for me. And I end up actually watching these...ok, not in the theater, but as a casual dvd rental. When will I learn!
Why Silver Surfer is chrome by chrth	Dec 26th, 2006 06:39:17 PM
Alex Ross, people. Go dig up your copy of Marvels.
What is everyone bitching about? by cerebulon	Dec 26th, 2006 06:40:59 PM
Was he silver? Yes. Did he surf? Yes. I don't really see a problem.
FF #48 to Speed Fricassee by CarmillaVonDoom	Dec 26th, 2006 06:42:18 PM
Sorry, not sending you a copy lol. Just commenting, now that grading/slabbing books is so in vogue, FF #48 isn't "worth" anything anymore unless its an 8.5 or above. Story/art is pretty good though ;)
the next spiderman 3 trailer... by T0NEW0LF	Dec 26th, 2006 06:43:40 PM
opening shot- earth from space. fireball rockets down.
The "purpose" of Silver Surfer's board.... by CarmillaVonDoom	Dec 26th, 2006 06:51:11 PM
It doesn't HAVE A PURPOSE...it was drawn by JACK KIRBY because he liked it that way!! It came out in 1966! Seriously, lighten up. Maybe it is an 'energy' transport made up of adamantium that just happens to resemble a surfboard on earth. Or not. Who cares.
The main question is: will DOOM steal the Power Cosmic? by CarmillaVonDoom	Dec 26th, 2006 06:52:33 PM
What other reason is there for SS in this movie, you know Galactus won't be anywhere near this movie. If they have to show him, it will be a shadowy head/shoulders that is barely visible and looming over everything.
Newsflash by Lone Fox	Dec 26th, 2006 06:57:52 PM
CG FX in compressed trailers always looks shit. Everyone stop acting like you just discovered the internet this morning. Surfer looked surprisingly good (yep, even with pupils), though I'm curious why they chose to show what is surely a big chase scene from the film as a teaser trailer?
We'll first love it...then we'll hate it! by KAWS	Dec 26th, 2006 06:57:55 PM
It happens to all comic book films, just give it a month or two. People are starting to hate Batman Begins. No comic book film will ever be good enough for realm of fanboyish geeks (yet they're always first in line when the film opens). Now, if I can just figure out why you people have made comic book based films the biggest and most profitable genre on the planet right now, oh yeah, because you talk shit and never back it up by staying home when they're released. And that will continue with Spider-Man 3, Wolverine, The Dark Knight and maybe even Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. Hollywood is having the last laugh by taking your money while you bitch like babies, idiots.
CarmillaVonDoom by Kai_Mah'gra	Dec 26th, 2006 06:58:56 PM
I wasn't complaining about it. I was just curious that's all. I actually also think it looks pretty cool as he's flying (or is it surfing) on it, particularly as they showed in that trailer. I just thought that maybe here was a specific reason (as relates to his powers) why he had it, that I didn't know of and just wanted to know what it was. Anyway, if the only reason for it to be there is to make him look cool, then that's also alright with me. I was just curious that's all.
So this is like SUPERMAN4 where humans breathe in space by Mace Tofu	Dec 26th, 2006 07:03:48 PM
Johnny is in HIGH orbit at the end of this clip. Can he in live in Outer Space? I know they did this in S4 Quest for peace but it was dumb then and looks dumb now ( unless one of JS powers is space travel without a suit) Glad I didn't pay $8 to see this lol
FF4 movie better than Spiderman 2!?? by MasterShake	Dec 26th, 2006 07:03:51 PM
Uh, well.. geez. I really don't know how to respond to that statement MST3KPIMP. I mean, the statement is so outlandish, my sarcasm circuits are overloaded. I really can't think of a response scathing enough, without resorting to calling you names, which is the last resort of the dimwitted. So...I guess i'll have to let you go on that one. Man. Crap. Still nothing.
Tim Story is by BranMakMorn	Dec 26th, 2006 07:04:46 PM
Marvel's version of Joel Schumacher. Thanks for making the Subpar Surfer. People there is a difference between SILVER and CHROME. Silver is softer and has a lustrous white tone. Chrome has more reflectivity and less opaque, it has more of the mirror finish. And the Surfer would move with more grace, mo cap performers who would blend the movements of a modern dance, surfing, skateboarding, capoera, wushu and tai chi then add Kirby to the mix.
The Silver Surfer is "too silver!" by PolyesterRage	Dec 26th, 2006 07:08:00 PM
Whether this is true or not, I still got a laugh out of it. Anyways, I wasn't even remotely persuaded to see the first one (wasn't a fan of the comics, so I couldn't work myself into a fangirl rage by seeing it, plus it looked like a piece of shit) but for a teaser, this one did a pretty good job of convincing me to be interested. I liked the way the Surfer flipped over upside-down to check out Johnny. He looked like pure badassery. So, if the real trailer is as cool as this one, I might actually see it.
intro feels like intro in comics by lettersoftransit	Dec 26th, 2006 07:14:09 PM
read it looooong time ago but remember the surfer showing up and seeming android like. The character was given added dimeneions,angst, personality, etc after the fact and it was a great illustration of the way comic book soap opera style led to the development of great chatacters. You intro a character who is mysterious and you have no back story really except he's the herald of a bad guy. then when the herald turns out to be real cool you have to cook up a reason why a hero would've been in that situation. herald to a planet eater? Why would you do that? lesseee, maybe he cut a deal to save his own planet, etc, etc. why would he back out on that deal and risk even more. Pretty blend girl makes him see people of earth should be saved. next thing you know you've got an all-powerful soul-searching anti-hero. Writng backwards to explain how you got where you are and writing yourself out of a corner to justify what you're already married, on top of writing sideways to cover what the artist did that you haven't expected. And doing it all so you can move forward with a great character and expand him. One of the many reasons why the soap-operatic sci-fi of the 60s era marvels led to so many good characters.
Fantastic Trailer by browsingjohn	Dec 26th, 2006 07:14:10 PM
Very exciting teaser, looked terrific in 720p HD. It looks fun, as was the first movie. Wish Superman Returns had the same spark in its flying sequences. BTW, raise your hand if you can honestly say the Spidey 3 trailer has better CGI.
Shut up Whiners...he didnt have flames ! by bobbychez76	Dec 26th, 2006 07:23:03 PM
I thought it was dead on. The surfer was a shiney metal. He wasnt THE DULL GRAY SURFER... I had to look up the flying through dense matter part...but that turned out to be accurate as well. I enjoyed the first and the only part im worried about is jacking up Galactus! And all I have to say is HE COULD HAVE HAD RED FLAMES !!! THIS MOVIE IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK NOW SHOW ME THE PURPLE PLANET EATER !
Man this would have sooo much better if... by tile_mcgillus	Dec 26th, 2006 07:26:10 PM
They completely changed the look and story of Silver Surfer and added a bunch of ridiculous spikes. Wait a minute that was Transformers that did that. Fuck this movie, where they are trying to make the characters look like their previous incarnations... Remember when all we had to bitch about was a small brow on Thing and not a complete and ridiculous destruction of a franchise ala Transformers? The good old days. Anyway, it was a neat trailer with potential for a decent movie. However the first one did'nt leave me much hope for this one. As for the CGI, it will get better.
SILVER SURFER HAS A BEER AND CHEETS ON HIS WIFE by PoliMan4	Dec 26th, 2006 07:28:15 PM
I can't wait to see talkbacks peppered with "TOO SILVER!" all over this site for the next few weeks.
it reeeeeeeeeally bugs me by Obscura	Dec 26th, 2006 07:33:16 PM
when you lot download a quicktime teaser trailer 6 months before they even finish working on the thing, and have the balls to say the effects work looks rubbish. AND the 2 effects characters in that trailer are so fantastic that you have absolutly no frame of reference for what they look like. you dont know what a person who can ignite his own aura would look like, and to me they've got it pretty much perfect. the surfers reflections arent final, thats obvious, building hdri maps for the reflection passes is a long and awkward job, especially on a caracter thats going to need them in every single frame at close to 100% reflection. would have been easier to make the whole movie in cg.
Hmmm... by Red Ned Lynch	Dec 26th, 2006 07:35:34 PM
...the first FF wasn't good. Wasn't nearly the worst wuperhero movie the last couple years have spit out, but they did Doom almost as poorly as possible, Reed and Sue weren't close to right, Thing was off, though not as much, and the second act was so poorly constructed that you could actually watch it leaking. All that said, that one guy in the trailer? The silver one? That looked like the Silver Surfer. No, really, it did. I watched it again just now. Yeah, if you're complaining about him being too silver, not silver enough, or too chrome there's something wrong with you. Seriously. My kids, who are both on the south side of ten, like the first one, which I imagine I would have if I was on the south side of ten, too. So I showed them the trailer. They want to see this one too. That's the way the first one made more than 150 million domestic and more than 300 million worldwide. And yeah, you can probably play your trailer like everyone should know who the characters are when you do those kind of numbers. Now like them, that may be another story.
The trailer... by The Dum Guy	Dec 26th, 2006 07:37:44 PM
Hmm? That trailer was actually better than the entire first movie, but then again the best thing about the first movie was looking at Jessica Alba.
Excellent trailer by BranMakMorn	Dec 26th, 2006 07:37:49 PM
Loved when the Surfer is being chased by Johnny and he's literally flying circles around him, changing levels, tilting and angling the board around, showing how much faster he is. What perfect balance! The part when the Surfer turns and faces Johnny as they head toward an unfinished skyscraper was cool. The Surfer jumps up and he leaves the board. The board weaves through the building's steel girders and then the Surfer gracefully lands back on the board as it exits the other side. Johnny almost kills himself trying to follow along. The Surfer uses his hand blasts to distract Johnny, sending cars up in the air with small bursts of Kirby crackle. They enter the tunnel, and the Surfer spirals through it using his momentum, he even runs his fingertips over the concrete tunnel walls like a real surfer would inside a wave...great touch. oh wait... that was what a little effort would have added to the trailer... never mind...

Saw it with Transformers/Oceans 13/Spidey 3 trailers... by McGsStepson	Dec 26th, 2006 08:02:21 PM
at NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM. This was by far the one that came off best on the big screen. But maybe that's because I did not see it in Quicktime first. And the Transformers actually looked WORSE on the big screen.
Looks freakin' cool... by Zakari Paolon	Dec 26th, 2006 08:06:22 PM
So, okay, that doesn't mean the movie will be any good, but this is more dynamic that ANYTHING in the first movie, so it's a really good sign. Plus the surfer looks awesome and that charming Robert Patrick way.
A few things by johnnyd123	Dec 26th, 2006 08:06:59 PM
#1- What is good CGI? Because everyone always complains about CGI and compares it to bad CGI but no one ever mentions an example of good CGI. #2- What exactly do you expect the Silver Surfer to look like? He is a naked silver guy on a surfboard. It is quite possibly the least complicated character design in the history of comic books. They did not screw up his look because it is literally impossible to screw it up. If he is shiny, on a surfboard, and naked, they pretty much nailed it. #3- Has anyone entertained the idea that this is called "Rise of the Silver Surfer" because it is the Silver Surfer introduction that would partly be its own movie, with Doom trying to steal the power cosmic or something (that had better be his scheme because otherwise he shouldn't be in the movie), but also a prequel to Galactus? Like Batman Begins ended with the "got a flair for the theatrics" line and then the Joker card, this one could build up the mystery of this silver guy until it is revealed at the climax and then Reed goes, "We can stop him," and somebody else goes, "too late," and a shadow falls over them all. Or something. Just a suggestion.

CGI was fine by SeVen Higgins	Dec 26th, 2006 08:10:55 PM
I really didn't like the first movie but this trailer just earned 30 bucks (I live in Japan) from me on opening day.
One more thing by johnnyd123	Dec 26th, 2006 08:16:35 PM
Nobody has expressed any happiness that the Surfer was introduced the same way as in the comics (I think, I never read the original issues, I just saw it when I read Marvels) with Johnny Storm chasing him. Also the first one was not a complete loss. Maybe it did not have the geek backing, but, get this, normal people liked it. Yeah. Normal people liked a comic book movie. Swear to God. My sister, she's normal. She's one of the popular kids. And she liked it. It's almost like they are making these movies for a mass audience or something, not just geeks who hate it if their favorite characters are changed just a little bit.

Shaddap by Jellylover	Dec 26th, 2006 08:19:59 PM
You little kids are funny. All the T-1000 talk? Maybe it was just me, but when I first saw the T-1000 I thought, "Ha! He looks like the Silver Surfer!", And now it's the other way around? Cameron completely bit the Surfer's look and you all know it. From the looks of this teaser we can assume one of two things. Either they just showed us the best part of the movie, or there's alot more thats alot better to come. Everyone that clicked on this page is going to go see this so stop fronting like your not. Fuckin' talkback-posers. EXCELSIOR BITCHES!
thegreeekhammer and Obscura by one9deuce	Dec 26th, 2006 08:20:32 PM
So you're both saying that the effects in this trailer are unfinished? Why in the hell would Fox not have finished effects in a trailer? There isn't one logical reason. I heard the same exact thing about THE HULK and THE MATRIX RELOADED when the trailers were released. Talkbackers were saying that "these are unfinished effects" to try and make excuses for the fact that the F/X looked rubbish. The cartoon-like CGI that I saw in the trailers for THE HULK and THE MATRIX RELOADED is the same cartoon-like CGI I saw in the finished films. FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER will be no different.
Did anyone see any cameos at the wedding? by johnnyd123	Dec 26th, 2006 08:21:20 PM
In the comics weren't there superheroes all over the place. Maybe we could just get Tobey Maguire snapping a picture or Ben Affleck and Nicholas Cage and Robert Downey Jr in the audience.

What a bunch of... by case71	Dec 26th, 2006 08:22:56 PM
...fucking know-nothing whiner wannabes! All of you! Well, most of you. Let me get this straight - the world FINALLY gets a filmic Silver Surfer (a seemingly impossible character to shoe-horn into an American studio film), and all you morons wanna do is nitpick the CG? Oh yeah - like you all are a bunch of experts. Good Christ - try relaxing and enjoying somehting for once in your life you bunch of useless dumbfucks. Man, I'm done with the lot of you - may you all choke on your own bile. I'm out. Permanently.
I thought he was SUPPOSED to be silver by V-man	Dec 26th, 2006 08:24:06 PM
What? Was the surfer supposed to be "off-silver" or maybe "pewter?" Come ON people...if he WASN'T shiny, you'd be complaining that he was too GREY. Where is the site for people who actually LIKE movies? I haven't seen a talkback on here in forever that wasn't loaded with over-the-top negatvity. Seriously, if going to a movie even presents a remote chance of the experiences you describe (rape your childhood, fucked you with barbed wire, makes your eyes bleed, makes you puke for 2 hours, etc), the why are you STUPID enough to continue to go to movies on the off chance that one might be ALMOST decent enough not to hurt you--too much. The way you describe it, its like playing russian roulette with 5 bullets instead of one, and pointing the gun where it will hurt the most. The best you get out of a movie is a lot of tension and and empty click, and that's only 1 time in 6. Why not go make your OWN movie rather than see other people's when you clearly can't stand any of them. Its Fantastic Four, not Citizen Kane. Its just a fun movie, and I don't think anyone is thinking oscars for this one. So lighten up and enjoy it, or just ignore it.
Silver Surfer Looks Great by DarthDooku	Dec 26th, 2006 08:25:10 PM
If done right, you never know, it could be better than Spider-Man 3.
johnnyd123 by Jellylover	Dec 26th, 2006 08:26:46 PM
Wouldn't that be the shite if Downey showed up to give congats to Reed! You know Richards would atleast have to be friends with Stark. I hope they do throw in a few surprises (doubt it though)
"I liked it better when it was called T2." by Dr. Anonymous	Dec 26th, 2006 08:27:12 PM
Blah blah blah. The Silver Surfer looked like he was silver in the trailer. The T-1000 was silver in T2. How many tones of shiney silver are there? Seriously. Silver Surfer looks fine.

to Mace Tofu re: Breathing in Space by I87D	Dec 26th, 2006 08:45:07 PM
finally a comment worth responding to :) yeah, i thought about that too. Three things that can kill a guy exposed to the vacuum of space: 1. the general lack of oxygen (which is the least of their problems) 2. the general lack of air pressure (yeah, holding your breath only speeds up the time before you simultaneously implode and explode) 3. the extreme temperatures -- likely to either be too hot or too cold, and never just right for a human. #3 shouldn't be a problem for Mr. Storm, but the others should be... But on second viewing, you can't tell exactly high above the earth he is -- he could still be in the upper levels of atmosphere i think. one thing is clear, he's high enough that oxygen is definitely practically non-existent and his fire won't work -- and he's essentially falling back to the earth dying. So he clearly wasn't "breathing." So it's really just the pressure thing that'll require some suspension of disbelief, and considering what the movie is about, well... that's easy thing to suspend.

Nope, will not see this. I have not even seen the first one. Nor will I ever see the first one or this one. I'm annoyed with all the latest superhero movies. I have only liked Batman Begins and a luke warm enjoyment of Spiderman 1 & 2. I am just bored.
CGI questions... by I87D	Dec 26th, 2006 08:49:19 PM
how do you make something that doesn't exist in real life, no one has ever seen before, and probably isn't even physically possible, look "realistic?" it's a rhetorical question.

Fun, but lousy CGI by kevred	Dec 26th, 2006 09:02:43 PM
That was a fun trailer with some neat gimmicks. It's probably the thing I've liked most from the whole cinematic FF so far. But...shouldn't this just plain look better from a character perspective? Reed's gray hair looks fake and painted on, and the CGI work is just bad. It's been a lot of years since T2--why should CGI figures still look this stuff and awkward? I can understand the Surfer looking shiny, but why should he look like liquid metal, doing all the watery/melting stuff? It's such a cliche and makes this look out of date. I'm not complaining from a purist perspective, necessarily--I just think this looks kind of cheap and corner-cutting. the radical, swooping camera angles are nice and all, but every time I see a character, the whole thing starts to feel a bit stupid. I'd like to see this done better.
Surfer cartoon series... by Quake II	Dec 26th, 2006 09:05:34 PM
was excellent. Too weird to last more than 13 episodes, but still cool. I imagine little kids sitting there watching that 90's SS series thinking "What the fuck is going on?". I bought a bootleg set on Ebay years ago. One of the most mature Marvel animated shows ever produced.

pretty bad CGI by johnnymilkshark	Dec 26th, 2006 09:14:55 PM
It reminds me of Reboot, which was low budget and done in 1995. Pretty unexciting trailer, I can understand their approach but I haven't seen the first one and this doesn't make me want to see either of them.

SO,,,,,What IS good CG? by Evil_Imp	Dec 26th, 2006 09:20:31 PM
Just curious ? cause i don't believe i ever hear these cg whiners say ANY CG is good. It's not an AICN talkback if someone actually thinks the effects are good. Think back 20 years.think about it. we are spoiled. nothing impresses anymore. granted this movie may be just as bad as Fantastic 4 , but watch the Damn movie , not scrutinize the Effects to the point of Bias towards the whole. if you stop focusing on every effect you might actually immerse yourself into the point of the Film....The story! that is if this film has a story. that's more important than comparing it to T2 or whatever. put down the microscope What a novel idea.
I thought it was a pretty good teaser by Lobanhaki	Dec 26th, 2006 09:21:30 PM
As for bad CGI? Get a new fucking cliche, people! Go look at mid to late nineties. Today's CGI is leaps and bounds beyond that, especially in this sequence. I think most of the kids going "bad CGI" are too young to remember what "bad optical effects" look like. Truth is, there is a such a thing as relaxing and suspending disbelief. As for Fantastic Four? It was pretty mediocre. Hopefully they'll get the picture that they need to take a better approach with this one.
Silver Surfer looks rough... by datachasm	Dec 26th, 2006 09:22:46 PM
FF1 was fairly notorious for having bad effects work... mainly if you ask me on the fully animated characters (no to mention Dr Doom not exactly coming off the pages). looks like the same problems here... big fan of Horatio there but looks like he picked the wrong series... loved Silver Surfer comics growing up, hopefully this flick does not put a nail in the character
I HATED the first movie... by Darth Thoth	Dec 26th, 2006 09:30:18 PM
But this trailer was awesome. Still, I hold my breath. Awesome fx don't translate to good movie. But, if the next trailer is as good as this one I may actually go see FF2 come next summer. And considering how much I hated the first movie, that's saying a lot.

Outside of a delirious fever dream and/or our private fantasies, this is the most accurate version of a shiny naked alien surfer from outer space we can hope to get.

hmm...looked good actually. Better then.. by Datascream	Dec 26th, 2006 10:05:59 PM
the first trailer. I liked how the SS fell through his surf board. Seeing as the board is a part of him it kinda makes sense that he could do this, interesting idea. I especially liked his moving through solid matter, another neat idea. The chase was fun to watch, and everyone moved at a very fast pace, and the trailer leaves you wanting to know what happens to the Human Torch. My Negatives? I really can't get over the guy playing as Mr. Fantastic. He just doesn't look like Reed Richards at all. And I especially don't get that feeling from him. Jessica Alba really didn't do anything for me either. The Thing looked alright, at least he was in character. But the dialouge was okay but the acting wasn't. It wasn't delivered naturally, it felt like they were actually "acting" it, like they had to repeat those lines several hundred times to get it right. All in all, decent trailer, better then the first one.
Answer to by ShiniGamiSan	Dec 26th, 2006 10:06:44 PM
Answer to :BranMakMorn "Silver is softer and has a lustrous white tone. Chrome has more reflectivity and less opaque, it has more of the mirror finish." Chrome and Silver are both opaque. Period. And if you polish silver, it looks just like chrome. You're mixing up silver or chrome that people take a burnish wheel too. My father is a jeweler in his later years now, but he's a registered Diamond Cutter, that there are very few of in the US. I grew up around jewelry and know both silver and chrome are opaque. Either item polished is fully reflective, and either etched or burnished on a wheel are flat.. Duh

The Power Cosmic... by Kirbymanly	Dec 26th, 2006 10:21:39 PM

Lewster the SIlver Surfer started out as.... by IndustryKiller!	Dec 26th, 2006 10:36:46 PM
the herald of Galactus, a world eating Demi-god. The surfer would scout out planets and Galactus would come and devour them. He shortly thereafter turned on Galactus and bnecame a hero. As for the trailer, I dunno, I thinkt he first one did absolutely everythingw rong, in fact if you ahve a love for the Fantastic Four you cannot deny that. I mean for Christ sake they ruined arguably the best villain in comics, for that alone the movie sucks. But the prospect of seeing Galactus on screen may make me break my rule of not seeing an comic movie that seems to be bastardizing the comics. The question is what will they do to the story and how will Galactus figure in?
Surfing! Doom = Surfer in FF1! Definition of opaque! by Calico Pete	Dec 26th, 2006 10:37:27 PM
The Surfer's all wrong. Where's the surfing? He's flying the whole time! When's he even get CLOSES to water? Cripes. BTW, in FF1, molten Doom at the end looked like the Surfer in this trailer. I wonder if that was foreshadowing. Now, would you all stop typing like you think you've just come up with a new thought? 80% of this talkback is one fuck repeating another. And finally BranMakMorn and ShiniGamiSan, opaque = not transparent. OF COURSE chrome and silver are opaque. Jeez.

How else is the Silver Surfer supposed to look? Every drawing, every statue, every toy, every anything that has the SS in it shows him being shiny silver. What do you guys want him to look like, brushed aluminum? He has to be shiny/reflective and T2 was beaten to this design by decades.

NERD ALERT: WHAT'S WITH THE PHASING GIMMICK? by Babba-Booey	Dec 26th, 2006 10:57:45 PM
Its such a shame. I don't recall Byrne or the others who laid the foundation of the Marvel Cosmic universe making the surfer into a phasing kitty pryde knockoff. Not to mention, THOSE EYES. That ripped it for me. Hopfully, they ain't done tweakin with Radd. Come June, just to sit through it, I'm gonna need two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. All that, because I'd have to be Gonzo Bat Shit over the Fucking Rainbow to miss this fucking fucked up abortion clinic train wreck waiting to happen. Oh and by the way, ROCKY KICKED ASS.
Silver Surfer-1000 or the SS-1000? by Joey_Redballs	Dec 26th, 2006 11:01:56 PM
The Chrome Surfer? That doesn't look much like Silver, but I've previously seen CG-based or enhanced comic art of the Surfer that looked chrome but cool. Kirby's Silver Surfer was...well, white. Yes, you definitely get that T-1000 thought in your mind from seeing the trailer. It's not just the look that really screams that. It's the morph-phases through objects and the actual sound effect used for it. It sounds liquidy. The shapes of these morph-phases have a fluid quality. So combine that with a slick chrome body, and it is basically a detail-less, streamline, liquid metal T-1000 (just a little more muscle defined than the T-1000 shape vacating the semi wreckage in T2 before it begins to morph). If the T-1000 character was never conceived or acheived in T2, then none of us would have a second thought about this Silver Surfer's look. I love how he morph-phased through his surf board. Any comic geek would speculate he never did that in the comics, but then again it wouldn't look so cool as a still image. But when you have the Surfer start morph-phasing through other solid objects, it becomes a new power made up for the movie ala Superman II...and not just a new ability of his surf board. I could do without the phasing through other solid objects. Fuck it. Have the Surfer crash through the whole skyscraper without showing any resistance to the objects he's passing through. Have the still and statuesque moving Surfer punch-out/pulverize a cookie cutter Surfer shape in the glass leaving cracks all around it instead of just having the glass shatter. This phasing has been seen too many times in the X-men movies to seem like a needed new power to give the Surfer. But the movie is practically finished, so it's too late now. The Surfer still did look a LOT cooler than what I imagined from reports of a silver prosthetic costume. To all the haters of CG, I think it works much better for this type of character where he's ALL CG (over the actor's image). Where CG replacement sucks is like Superman Returns where you can clearly tell it's not Brandon Routh. It just doesn't look real, and because the character happens to be Superman, the CG Supes reminds me of the Black & White Superman serials where they suddenly overlappped an obviously animated Superman for any flying. I've gotten way off the subject, but anyhow an all CG all-the-time character sometimes looks better than switching between real & CG back and forth, especially with humanoid characters. Best and early example of the opposite being true is Jurassic park. Sometimes it's a giant robotic T-rex. Sometimes it's CG. They both look terrific and there's seamless transition. Same thing with Mighty Joe Young. Both of those successful examples were for non-human characters. But when you go from real guy to CG stuntman, it's always obvious. Another great example of terrible transition is the Elf character jumping up on the elephants in Return of the King. The CG character is identical to Orlando Bloom until you see it moving. It's those human subtleties of movement with each muscle group and the eyes (CG human eye movement sucks). A best example of CG stuntman working for the shot is Doc Ock sinking to the bay floor and staring into the camera. Why can't we readily tell that's a CGI Alfred Molina? Because it barely moves and the eyes stare vacantly without movement. That and you don't have to try and replicate glassy human eyes because the shot is underwater. It's the fake movement that ruins a CG double. Making the Silver Surfer's eyes look inhuman aids in removing our frame of reference that would otherwise make his eyes look extra CGI fake. Maybe they tested glowing and/or white CGI eyes, and it just screamed Storm, or even looked a little too Evil Dead. My guess is they wanted eye detail to allow more subtle emotion to be evoked in the acting. Same reason Spider-man keeps losing or tearing up his mask every movie. Whatever! I was worried about the Silver Surfer's eyes, and so far I don't mind them. Peace out. www.partymidgets.net

I haven't read the origin of the Silver Surfer in the FF comics but isn't the shiney one a good guy? This film makes him out to be a villian. Was he sketchy in the first few comics? If so, then is the movie being faithful to his origin?

Surfer was White by ShiniGamiSan	Dec 26th, 2006 11:11:50 PM

Phasing explained... by Hairy Nutsack	Dec 26th, 2006 11:16:31 PM
It says in the Marvel Encyclopedia that the Silver Surfer can "channel cosmic energy to augment strength, heal others, and restructure matter." So there you have it boys and girls, phasing through solid matter is Silver Surfer canon even if he's never actually done it in the comics. (and I have no idea if he's ever actually done it or not) He's white? LMFAO, how exactly were they going to depict silver/chrome in those ancient comics if not for white with highlights? He's called the SILVER Surfer you geniuses.

Re:BGDAWES; Horrible Question by Joey_Redballs	Dec 26th, 2006 11:20:40 PM
I love comics, but I'm not a Silver Surfer expert either. From what I think is accurate, Silver Surfer was originally bad in his first FF storyline. He was the herald of Galactus. He didn't want to be. He was made to be. And that's the storyline of this movie. Silver Surfer will be discarded or something by Galactus in exchange for a new herald...this time Galactus wants Sue Storm-Reed to be his new herald. I believe her powers are going to get turbo-charded (for the lack of a better term) by the power cosmic which Surfer was also enhanced by. I guess Surfer has a lot of residual power leftover from his herald-ing days, but I don't know if that will be the same explanation or him in this movie...or for that matter, will Sue Storm-Reed retain enhanced powers post-herald status? Or will they just reveal Sue is more powerful than she had previously known in the first movie. Who knows? We'll have to see the movie. Check wikipedia.org (not always accurate) for more Surfer comic character info and Marvel.com (not always easy to search and not always thorough in their online character bios...Reader's Digest versions only). Peace. www.partymidgets.net

LOOKS JUST AS GOOD AS THE FIRST MOVIE... by Leafy McPlantsalot	Dec 26th, 2006 11:52:50 PM

Accurate or not, he'd look better white by kevred	Dec 26th, 2006 11:56:43 PM
Personally, I think that it'd look a lot cooler if he was more of a metallic white, almost like white gold, a little glowing, some sense of the cosmic energy. A little more alien, a little more angelic. This rendition doesn't look exotic or otherworldly at all. It looks like they clicked a mouse and stuck Chrome #5 on the CGI for Green Goblin. And whether they mapped it to an actor or not, it looks stiff and awkward in its movements, and that distracts me from getting lost in the storyline. As for good effects--LOTR and Hellboy didn't distract me with breakdowns in the effects, so there's no excuse for it here. No matter how much I mildly enjoy seeing this kind of stuff brought to cinematic life, I can't avoid coming to the conclusion that this is just plain ordinary, mundane. It should be exciting. Instead it's a shiny mannequin and liquid metal/rippling water effects that were cliched years ago. Blech.

Kirby always drew SS using his signature stylized chrome effect, so that's the way that I always pictured him... you know, chromey. Now I wanna see Galactus... and I pray that they fix Doom. The movie version was laughable, the comic book version always kinda scared me when I was a kid.

It's not like Cameron was ripping off the Silver Surfer by CTU Mole	Dec 27th, 2006 12:10:55 AM
The first semi-photo-realistic CGI could only render textures. 'The Abyss', also a Cameron film, was a breakthrough in CGI with its water creature. T2 did the same with a metal creature. These were just textures and that was all they could do at the time, before Jurassic Park kicked everyone's ass in 1993 with CGI animals. So The Silver Surfer is also all metal who, like the T-1000, is malleable... well, how should it look? Guys on fire, guys made of rock and guys made of air are also going to be repeated a few times in film. I think SS is going to have more facial expressions and personality than T-1000 did.
Silver Surfer is too slow! by My Ass Smells	Dec 27th, 2006 12:15:00 AM

Too slow? by Hairy Nutsack	Dec 27th, 2006 12:22:00 AM
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Surfer pulling Johhny into space a direct lift from the books? I really don't get it, I totally understand why people dislike the changes with Transformers, I'm one of them, but this looks spot on Silver Surfer to me. Complain about Alba, but for crissakes at least acknowledge they got Surfer right. I absolutely hate the first FF movie but I have to admit this scene at least looks great. I mean even the scene on the bridge in FF1 looked great, just like the airplane scene in Supes Returns looked great even if both scenes were surrounded by mediocre movies.
About breathing in space by bomardv	Dec 27th, 2006 12:39:18 AM
I often times do not find useful to complain about logic in an imaginary universe. (but look at this talkback) But if a director (Tim Story in this case) takes the time to humor fans well you at least expect him to respect the bare minimum of logic he has set in his imaginary universe. Then, it does not make sense that at that speed, no oxygen uncunscious (superhero or not) someone survives... Yeah yeah he is gonna come up with an excuse like: "Silver surfer generated a protective shield for js not to burn out during entry because after all it was just a warning" Just go to the movies and cringe.

I thought the effects in the SPidey3 trailer were better.. there I fucking said it.. as for Johnny breathing in outer space, lets assume for a second that this was a documentary, and the logic was NOT completely flawed to begin with.. maybe the fact that he IS in space is a large reason for him flaming off and falling to earth like that.. the acting was atrocious, the things eye pat was corny, SURFER WAS COOL, and will be great to pick the CGI apart in hidef.. and for all the 'effects weren't finished' whiners, then the answer is... OF COURSE THEY'RE FINISHED... and if they're not and I'm incorrect I apologise, and if that IS the case then.. STUDIOS..don't release the trailers until they ARE finished?! FUCK MEEEE!! ... perhaps that's why we haven't REALLY seen Venom yet. just a thought.
Surfboard Questions? A: Wikipedia: Silver Surfer by ironburl	Dec 27th, 2006 12:42:51 AM
While flying, the Silver Surfer usually makes use of an object known on Earth as his "board", which was created by Galactus and is constructed of the same unknown substance as the Surfer's body; therefore, it too is virtually indestructible. Even when it was destroyed, the Surfer was able to easily reconstruct it. The surfboard is psionically linked with the Surfer's mind, to the extent that damage that is somehow dealt to the board also causes the Surfer duress or pain. Apparently only a being possessing the Surfer's cosmic powers can cause the surfboard to fly, and its movement is controlled mentally by the Surfer. When he requires the board, he can call it to himself even from cosmic distances. The surfboard apparently taps ambient cosmic energy in much the same way that the Surfer himself does. Although the Surfer can utilize his cosmic power to fly without it, the surfboard enables him to fly with greater maneuverability and without the expenditure of his own energy. The Silver Surfer can utilize the surfboard to attain multiples of the speed of light, but seldom exceeds Mach 10 (ten times the speed of sound) within the outer layers of a planet's atmosphere, and Mach 5 within the inner layers. In addition, the Surfer and the Fantastic Four realized that Galactus' means of imprisoning the Surfer on Earth was linked to the board since the world devourer knew that his former herald would not think of leaving the planet without it. Putting the idea to the test, the Surfer left the board planetside and the Four transported him off the planet in their spacecraft. Once he realized he was free of Earth, the Surfer remotely converted the board to energy, recalled it to him and reformed it in space. The Surfer then met up with Galactus and rescued his current herald, Nova, from the Skrulls. In return, Galactus fully freed the Surfer and he could once again travel the universe.

BUT HOW CAN YOU CRITICIZE SURFER!?!?!? THE EFFECTS WEREN'T FINISHED!!! well then they shouldn't have put two fucking minutes of him on huge screens should they? this is why you make trailers the way they're made, so you can give glimpses of totally finished effects instead of extended half-done and shitty looking effects. unfortunately, this time we don't have The Incredibles to convince Fox to boost the effects budget. in short, this will suck balls, just like the first.

I am a bigger Silver Surfer fan than you are. As for the FF, well, they are all right, but the Surfer just turns my freaking crank. Love his backstory and his look. I liked the first FF, though there were a couple of REALLY bad choices made...first and foremost the changes made to Doom, and then the whole freezing Reed Richards at the end, that was just weak. Overall, however, I thought it was good. I bought the DVD. As for this trailer, I THINK IT FUCKING RULED. It showed the Surfer and he looked BADASS. All you nimrods bitching about the t1000 thing, just remember...the T1000 looks like the surfer, not the other way around. Parting shot, I CAN"T WAIT. I AM OFFICIALLY NERDED OUT FOR THIS. I didn't see FF in the theaters, but I will DEFINITELY be seeing this one. END OF LINE.

Cameron Copied the whole Liquid metal look From Marvel Comics Silver Surfer. Get used to the idea. Surfer was here First. And seriously, How much more advanced can you make a living liquid metal body appear on film, or in reality? They can't have him perfectly reflect Everything around him, then He wouldn't look Silver, he'd be Mirror man or some crap. So far seems they have Two effects right in this series, Surfer and Torch.
