Fantastic Four 2 SPOILER thread!!! BEWARE!!!

[The Bat]

I already know I won't being seeing this Movie...I will not even rent it.

[Hector]

Chris, now you are convincing me that it's not that bad of a movie, man, I have to go this Monday and see who's more dead on here, lol.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I REALLY liked this movie. I liked it better than Spider-Man 3. There. I said it.

Since Spidey 3 was the BIG super hero movie this year, and was hyped to death, I'm going to use it to defend FF2, which I think is getting a real bum rap from just about everyone.

As a whole the movie hung together and showed more respect for the source material than Spidey 3 did. Don't get me wrong, I LIKED Spidey 3. BUT, there were several serious missteps taken in that movie. Sandman being Uncle Ben's killer being number one, "evil" Peter's jazz club fiasco being number two. Spidey 3 did a better job of juggling all the characters and plotlines better than I thought it would, but it still was pretty disjointed at times. And despite all that was going on, it did drag a bit in parts. The pacing was off.

Now on to FF2. Yes, Galactus was a cloud (I'll get back to that) BUT, all the characters were true to their comic portrayls, and no major changes were made to them. Sure, Doom wasn't still quite Doom, but he was a ton better than last time. Grufford's Reed should have shut up everyone who griped about his wishy-washiness last time. Johnny was still funny, but less of a jerk, and actually learned a thing or two. Ben was happy enough with himself not to whine about being human throughout the whole picture, despite the fact that he had the opportunity over and over. And Sue shone as she should, as the heart of the FF. The pacing was well done, with plenty of character fun and insightful character moments, but still lots of action and drama to keep things building to the finale.

Now, onto Galactus as a cloud. I love KIRBY. Love just about everything the man ever did. Kirby's Galactus design kicked butt on the drawn, inked comic page. But a big dude with a tuning fork helmet would have had the non-comic readers rolling in the aisle. And guess what, we're in the minority. Just look at Marvels. Alex Ross painted the hell out of that book, giving us a living, breathing look at what the real Marvel U would look like. Almost everyone looked great, but I hate to say it, his Galactus looked like his buddy in a cardboard tuning fork helmet. THAT is what Galactus would have looked like on screen, more than likely, if they'd stuck to the comics.

FF2 took no more liberties than every other super hero movie before it, and far less than many. It captured the spirit of not only the FF, but the Surfer, and several of the early Surfer/Galactus storylines. And it was a fun, cohesive movie. My kid never fidgeted, or looked away from the screen. I can't say that about Spidey 3.

I think in the end, Spidey 3 somehow lost a lot the heart that the first two movies had in abundance. Maybe it was because Raimi was talked into the whole black suit/Venom plot, which ended up dominating the movie. FF2 had that same kind of heart in spades I think. My whole family had a great time.

LOL! I see Hector couldn't contain himself.....I'll say it again if you've never ever heard of the FF and the great Story that Stan and Jack created you will think it's a silly movie that the kids will love but if you are a Hardcore FF fan like me and Hector you will want to throw poop at the idiots who treated Marvel's first Family like this...

The Silver Surfer is Marvels most Badass Character and I believe he can beat the tar out of Superman and this is what we get.I knew this Franchise was going to be bad when they decided to put The Thing in a suit I wanted CGI but no..That should have been the hint.Not even Jessica Alba as eye candy saves this giant turd of a movie.

No Galactus, No Watcher, No Ultimate Nulifier, Doom is Horrible Doctor Doom is one of Marvels Greatest Villans and In these movies all I kept saying is that's not Dr.Doom.....and there's this one scene were the Surfer is getting tortured I sat there and was like ***? BS!!!!! that would never happen lol! The Galactus no show is like you waiting for a Hot Blonde with Big Boobies and she is just about to strip and she turns the lights off at the last minute lol! what a let down! Ok I know that was extreme I needed to make myself laugh....

No one should worry about if they don't go see this other movies won't be made.....The marvel movie machine is in place and is cranking.

This years Marvel movies are batting Zero hopefully they will see the faults and fix them before their audience decides they've had enough.

Well said and amen.

I can't help myself, lol.

[megowgsh]

Couldn't disagree with you more on this one.

Totally exceeded my expectations.

Heads and shoulders better than the first.

The Silver Surfer was PHENOMENAL!!!

The interaction between the four was very good, especially with the ferriss wheel.

Loved Johnny with all four powers.

Loved seeing Doom on the surf board even more!

This movie hit a home run in my opinion. Better than S3. Better than most super-hero movies.

I was thoroughly pleased.

Even Daremo liked this movie and he is very hard to please when it comes to super hero movies.

imo singer shouldn't ever direct even a 4th grade play about superheros i read where he said he never read any comics as a kind and really didn't like superheros and after seeing sup return it showed just imo

So...You didn't like X-Men 1 & 2 ? And I liked "Superman Returns"...but it did suffer the usual problem's of an Origin Story...re-establishing the Character's. The next one WILL be better.


P.S. Singer may not have known much about the X-Men to begin with...but He did His Home work and read all the back Issue's. The Proof is He put out two AWESOME X-Men Movie's! Of Course...a lot of credit should go to Tom Desanto, as His Executive Producer...for keeping Him on track...and Faithful to the essence of the Character's.

I know, there's still a ton of movies to be made, Avengers as you said, Thor as in your avatar, Sub-Mariner, Captain America, etc...oh yeah, some DC ones too, lol.

Oh, man.........my worst nightmare is that they will make a Thor movie (or an Avengers with Thor, of course) and it is crap.

It's like "what if you jumped out of an airplane and your chute failed..... but there was a nice big pile of hay to break your fall." Well, that would be cool wouldn't it?

It would be cool....unless there was a big pitch fork stuck in the pile of hay and you impaled yourself on it.

still gotta watch it for my peace of mind.

Yeah me too, I'm going to watch it this Monday.

[saildog]

It's not gonna happen if it makes a ton of money.

That's my dilemma, Hector. It wasn't the worst Comic Movie EVER (and I definitely want them to make more and more Comic Movies), but how does one balance being supportive but not being supportive of crap?

I'm just afraid if I don't go, we will never get the Avengers Movie I dream of (and even if we do, what if it is crap?).

[Hector]

It was my civic duty.

I hope the Fantastic Four fans report that to the movie company to fix that crap or create a better new one for us and then delete that bad movie......

[danadoll]

Thank you for the spoilers, Hector...I was very hesitant to see this movie (now I don't have to), because I thought the first was awful....I sat through the whole thing cringing.

[Mr Mego]

Oh, no... that's too bad!!!

Thanks for let me know about that. It's really sucks!

I hope the Fantastic Four fans report that to the movie company to fix that crap or create a better new one for us and then delete that bad movie......

I click that link and I noticed there's a Dixie man sit the toilet seat and show a big green right hand finger with shotgun that's TOO funny, LOL!!!
