This, I'm assuming, is why Fantastic Four feels very much like an extended episode of Charmed

LOL

*Mecha Cow* · 06-29-2005, 10:21 AM

Well, that article is written by the same guy who jizzed all over Revenge of the Sith, so I don't think he's in much of a position to say what is and what isn't a good movie.

Meh, Fantastic Four looks alright, I'll save my judgement for after I've seen it.

*E* What a sh*tty 'review'; He didn't even bother explaining why he thought the movie was bad, thus doing a great job at wasting my time.

Also, 500th post!

**Barkworm** · 06-29-2005, 10:42 AM

All the trailers of this movie have looked incredibly lame, I wouldn't be surprised if the movie actually was equally bad.
Jessica Alba is hot though.

Peanut · 06-29-2005, 06:55 PM

I'll see it before passing judgement. These know-nothing critics really don't matter to me.

tekcop · 06-30-2005, 01:01 AM

I'm not going to bother with the review, but I'm a huge Fantastic Four fan and I don't think I'll be seeing this movie in the theatres.

*Brodie* · 06-30-2005, 10:01 AM

This movie's preview is a better Fantastic 4 flick than the original.

*The Stryker* · 07-01-2005, 01:29 AM

The Trailers were terrible and make the movie seem like its going to be another Batman & Robin but im still gonna see it and if its good, Hey atleast our Expectations will be low.

*Hannah* · 07-03-2005, 03:39 PM

I thought the trailers were cool. o_O

*Dane E5R* · 07-03-2005, 05:12 PM

I agree, the trailers look fantastic to me. No pun intended, seriously.

Mandi-chan · 07-06-2005, 08:28 AM

I think it looks good, but may wait for the dvd release...

*Brodie* · 07-06-2005, 08:29 AM

Oh man, who ever ryhmed Four, with BORE?! HILARIOUS!

*raphael_is_cool* · 07-06-2005, 04:10 PM

The trailer, to me, looks like the film came into production this way:

INT. FILM STUDIO EXEC'S OFFICE - DAY

The WRITERS and STUDIO EXEC are sat at a desk, opposite each other.

EXEC: So, you guys have a film proposal?

WRITER 1: Yeah, you know what we need more of?

WRITER 2: Comic book movies!

EXEC (cautious): Go, on...

WRITER 1: Look at all these other films...Spiderman, Batman, Daredevil, Elektra...

WRITER 2: I wrote Hulk and Punisher!

EXEC (unimpressed): Oh...okay...

WRITER 1 (quickly changing tact): Well, anyway...all these films have one lead character. Imagine how much better it would be if you had four in one film! With a super villain!

EXEC: Hmm...go on...

WRITER 1: Fantastic Four! No one's done that yet!

EXEC: I always figured it might be hard to do a film like that...

WRITER 2: Nuh uh. All you need are some poorly cast, but attractive to most audiences, actors and have you seen what CGI can do these days?!

WRITER 1: I reckon they can even make big, spongy, orange suits look good!

WRITER 2: Definitely!

EXEC: It'll have explosions, too, right?

WRITER 2: Four times as many as your average action film

WRITER 1: The script will be excellent too. You see we've got one or two elements from the original

WRITER 2 (excited): Or should we say 'four'?!

WRITER 1: (to WRITER 2) Shut up
(to EXEC) So, yeah, some of what resembles the Fantastic Four that everyone knows and loves is there, but get this...

WRITER 2: ...we've filled it with so lots of cool, witty lines!

WRITER 1: People will be quoting it for weeks

EXEC: The Thing will say 'It's clobberin' time', won't he?

WRITER 1: Crap, totally forgot that. We'll add it in one scene...maybe in two scenes...

WRITER 2: But, yeah. You could definitely sell those push-button talking figures these lines are so quotable. Get this, at one point The Invisible Woman says...she says...she...I can't...

WRITER 2 can't stop giggling. WRITER 1 is smirking then decides to finish it off.

WRITER 1: She..She says 'look at me'

They all laugh uncontrollably.

EXEC: Sold!

Sorry, was bored and got a bit carried away...

*Brodie* · 07-06-2005, 04:52 PM

I liked Punisher.....

*raphael_is_cool* · 07-06-2005, 04:56 PM

I knew someone would pick at that. I've never seen it. I hear comic book fans like it. But I'm not sure if a film executive would see it as a big blockbuster film for a mass audience. I know it never even got any real promotion over here.

Peanut · 07-06-2005, 04:57 PM

I liked Hulk and The Punisher. In fact, I think Punisher was awesome. What exactly was so bad about it?

**GK Punk** · 07-06-2005, 08:07 PM

I haven't seen Hulk, but I liked the Punisher... Im looking forward to the FF, I think it looks neat.

*damnhooligan* · 07-06-2005, 08:16 PM

Well, I caught the preview at the theaters when I went to see War of the Worlds. Looks pretty cool, and actually made me want to see the movie.

I'm not sure if I can get used to Ioan Gruffudd's American accent though.

愛 · 07-06-2005, 08:20 PM

I've seen previews in the theaters and on TV, and I'm looking forward to this movie. I love movies based on comics, mainly because I'm trying to make up for my lack of comics in my childhood.

And I liked Punisher.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-06-2005, 08:28 PM

Frankly IMO, Marvel movies can do no wrong. I'll be seeing this.
