Fantastic Four

[JadistarkilleR]

cast list:

Jessica Alba .... Susan Storm/The Invisible Girl
Michael Chiklis .... Ben Grimm/The Thing
Chris Evans .... Johnny Storm/The Human Torch
Ioan Gruffudd .... Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic
Julian McMahon .... Doctor Doom

directed by Tim Story (Barbershop)

i think Michael Chiklis as The Thing is an inspired choice :), and i saw a photo of the guy who'll play the Human Torch, he fits the part. the guy whi plays Reed Richards i was hoping would be a little older, but otherwise looks good in the role as well.

the one that i didnt like at all was Jessica Alba as Sue Richards (or her pre-maried state, Susan Storm). with all due respects to Jessica's kick-butt abilities, she simply doesnt fit the role :angry:

i'm willing to give this film a chance, but i'm starting to get a funny feeling this is going to turn out to be more like DareDevil than Spiderman.

LOL... thats interesting. I thought that was impossble... (;) jk)

[borntofly]

it looks interesting...but i think i'll wait til it comes out on dvd.

[legolas]

I want to see it but as I said on another thread my parents might not let me see it!!

[Bitter Milton]

WOO HOO! I love the Fantastic Four! I have the first 100 some issues in perfect condition! I hope the movie will be good!

Wow! I have a friend who would kill to have those - his are all busted up from continual reading. :D

I'm certainly looking forward to the movie; I've been waiting forever to see 'Fantastic Four' made into a film - Now I just need someone to take me...

[tgraveline]

I always waited for a movie, but this just doesn't seem up to par. It seems like i need to base everything on quality compared to the new batman, which i sincerely believe is the best comic book movie ever.

PS i've said it somewhere else, but its going to be a rental for me

[Mr_Beaver]

Looks interesting, but FF got very blend reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

[Sojourner]

I can't wait to see it and anyone who says Jessica Alba is not right for the part will have to fight MR. Stick....she rocks...even TG will agree with me on this point

[Narnian Jedi]

Just came back from seeing the movie. Good movie but not the best comic book movie. (definitely not a 'Batman Begins'). It's worth seeing.. :)

[borntofly]

oh yeah..it came out today didn't it

[Dragon]

Here's how I would rank the best (of the recent) superhero movies so far...

1. Batman Begins
2. Spider-man 2
3. The Incredibles
4. Spider-man
5. X2
6. Fantastic Four
7. X-men

It was pretty enjoyable, but it was lacking in a number of areas. I didn't think the villain was very intriguing. I like it when they have more "interesting" evil plans I guess. But that doesn't make me not like the movie.

Overall, it'll pretty much be there to fill up the super-hero section of my dvds, but nothing really special or amazingly powerful here. If you're into the whole superhero movie craze (which I'm enjoying) then this is a pretty good addition. With its flaws, I definitely didn't feel I wasted my time by seeing it.

[Specter]

Yeah, I thought it was pretty good. Dr. Doom is far more intriguing in the comics though. Way smarter than he was in this movie. I think if they did a sequel it would have to have Galactus as the villain.

[tgraveline]

wow man, i would have thought that the first x-men would have been higher, as i think those have been the best right under batman. I'm probably a bigger spiderman fan myself, but the movies after seeing batman, just seem to suck to me now. I don't know what it is though. I guess i'm liking tobey maquire less and less

[holyboy]

Well, at least there's one more Spiderman to change the opinion, eh?

I really have to watch Batman...its like that SW thread we had up, I couldn't read it cause I had nooooooooooooo idea what was going on. Batman is now on my "HAVE TO SEE NO MATTER WHAT" list, after Narnia :D

[legolas]

really!!???? thats strange. (for me at least) ah well! I want to see the movies. and now i think my mom will let me!! :D

[Narnian Jedi]

Yeah, I thought it was pretty good. Dr. Doom is far more intriguing in the comics though. Way smarter than he was in this movie. I think if they did a sequel it would have to have Galactus as the villain.

Yeah a Fantastic Four sequel would be very nice with Galactus. There's a whole bunch of comic book movies coming out and I read that there might be a Silver Surfer movie in the talks with Galactus included. here's the site...

*lookes at list*

Hey! I didn't know that The Mask was a comic book! And Men in Black? Wow, you learn something new everyday...

[Bitter Milton]

Dragon, i agree with your list.

I hope they make more good comic book movies. I'd rather have one movie like Batman Begins than a hundred like Daredevil. *shudders* that movie was a joke.

They need the Blob as a villian!

[Dragon]

Dr. Doom is far more intriguing in the comics though. Way smarter than he was in this movie.
It seemed like in the movie all his energies were in trying to make his voice sound like a badguy.

[Tarkheena_Finduilas22]

It came out the 8th every where and I WANT TO SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Thanatos]

So i finally saw F4, for my birthday. I thought it was very good....except fot Jessica Alba. I dont really like her as Sue...i think they could have gotten someone a lot better. But overall i loved the movie. The Human torch had always been my favorite, now i love him even more!!

[inkspot]

Thanx for the review! I want to see it this weekend, but I also want to see Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. Can't wait!!!

[pink-cheetah]

did any of you see the sequel they are going to make? "Rise of the Silver Surfer"?

[tottyfruitty]

what? has it come out yet?

[pink-cheetah]

no, i have no idea when it is coming out. the date showed on the trailer, but i forgot what it was..
Reed and Susan were about to get married.

[tottyfruitty]

ooh awesome! but it hasnt been advertised here at all sadly

[pink-cheetah]

yeah, it was attached to the Night at the Museum movie. But if you go to IMDb, if you look it up, you can watch the trailer, i think.

[tottyfruitty]

really! cool i shall do that
