Fantastic Flop

I picked up the Fantastic Four box set on tuesday. The first season is utter trash and I can't believe I suffered through the whole thing. My God, it was worse than I remembered it. And Michael Austin Green doing his endless rap during the Moleman episode...I'd sooner catch a bowling ball with my face than watch that again.
HOWEVER Season 2 was literally fantastic. First off, they got rid of that sh1tty "On an outerspace adventure..." theme song and replaced it with an orchestrational theme that was really good. They also switched animation studios and changed character desgins for a more serious tone. Then they changed some voice actors (most noteably, the FIRED Austin Green) and to top it all of the destroyed the Baxter Building in the first episode so we'd never have to see that b1tchy landlady again. The cameos from Marvel superheroes were great. We got Daredevil, Black Panther, Thor, Ghost Rider and cameos from the Avengers, Spider-Man and the X-Men. And th best one of them all, Hulk and Thing have a serious one-on-one battle. Awesome. So yeah, for the second season alone I'd say the box set is worth the price tag. You just have to suffer through a tremendously awful first season in order to get to the perfectly awesome second. |

I just finished watching the downloaded film, absolute p*ss story wise, the only saving graces were the conclusion that sets up some possible new developments for the sequel, Chris Evans' accurate portrayal of Johnny Storm, and most of the directing, which were far above earlier efforts from the guy behind "Taxi", I hope he's attached to more of these, because for whatever faults the script had, the style made for compelling viewing. The remainder of the movie seemed...generic, The Thing looked ugly, Sue, nothing but a rack of tits who occasionly turned invisible, and Doctor Doom was basicly Batman Beyonds' Blight meets G.I Joes' Destro. As much as I think The Incredibles sucked, it's story, combined with the characterstics and direction of this movie, would have made for an ideal F.F effort, and far much more of an emotional investment from people expecting a genuine attempt to cut off the boaderline popcorn fundimentals that stifiled Electra, but no, it's just that, popcorn fodder |

I actually caught myself thinking more of Willem Defoe's Green Goblin from Spidey....a stiffed buisness man with powers who uses the to get revenge....
And.... Spoiler:

I read about this movie over a year ago and I said to myself "This is going to suck" Then I saw something from it in a game preview and I said "Wow this looks like it's going to suck" then I saw a short TV spot for it where they showed some filming of it and I said "Wow this looks like total suck" A month or so later I went to the movies and saw a preview and I said "God this looks like a bunch of suck" Lastly I saw TV ads every commrcial break during my favorite Comdey Central programs and I said "Could this suck anymore? It's just a giant ball of sucking suck. a suck-fest if you will"
And Rotten Tomatoes has confirmed the suck. There is one movie on there I really like that they gave a bad review and that's Underworld. But other then that their correct 99% of the time. I like movie critics I hate video game critics |

Why's that? I mean, video game reviews are a lot more based on objective points than movie reviews. If someone says the controls of a game are lousy, it's most likely a matter of fact but if someone doesn't like the plot of movie x it's often subjective.

Anyways bottom line is critics in the gameing industry are biased to whatever company they like, shallow. In movies it's not like that. That is why I trust movie reviews. Game reviews steer me toward the wrong games and away from the fun ones. As where movie reviews have kept me from the crap and where the good stuff is. Reviews told me AVP sucked and it did. They told me Blade 3 sucked and it did. They told me Batman was good and it was. Easy as that |

Fantastic Four isn't really on my 'To See' list. I never really liked the cartoon, so why should I go and see the movie? To go to sleep excluded I mean

seeing this movie just made me want to go see a good comic book film like Batman begins and Spiderman.
The changing of the orgin did nothing to the story, Doom still comes from his home country, and the others still got there powers. This movie didnt really add or take away, its like they looked at one of the comic's and did it panel for panel....and changed Unnecessary things just to sell the movie. The final fight between Doom and FF was so boring, if I were to blink I would have missed it. Where was the story? there was nothing going on, sure we got to see what life was like as the FF, but I felt like I was watching a episode of the real world, and not a big buget movie. This movie really sucks, it could have been so much better, but instead of trying to make a good movie with a good story, they went the usaul route and made it gimmiky as hell, just so they could make some money. Terrible movie. |

Anyways, not to step on this kid's longass hot topic pants, and his utter urge to struggle to be funny, F4 wasn't a "big ball of suck." Sure, the dialogue sucks, and the Thing sucked hardcore. That doesn't mean its a big ball of suckage, which would imply a black-hole of some kind. Chris Evans was awesome as Johnny Storm, cause Johnny is cocky and arrogant, and he was all these things. He attempted to be the character while everyone else tried to make it their own. I have to admit, the bridge scene was far better than the final battle, and there seemed to be more at stake. The costumes were alright, probably the closest to the designs of the comic books. The directing was great, far better than that of Resident Evil flicks, Elektra and probably Catwoman( I didn't see it, so the only one who could tell us is the DC fanboy, MP). And why go by Rotten Tomatoes? It's just a bunch of idiots (Like you and I) who saw the movie and put in there two cents. I'm not trying to Defend the Fantastic Four as a definitive kickass comic flick, cause it's not, but jesus h. christ, chief, you guys are nuts. Just cause this isn't Spider-Man (which, thanks to Tobey McGuire, I hate) you guys piss and moan. ******** on that, it was a better attempt than Elektra and Catwoman. And lets not forget the 94 version of the F4. This comic is something so weird it walks the very thin line between funny/cool and campy/stupid. The original movie was dogpuke, hilarious campy dogpuke, but this atleast tried to take itself more seriously, for the comic book's sake. It's not that effin' bad. Edit: And Jessica Alba was in her underwear, half you fanboys aren't ever getting laid. Fork over your 5 bucks. |
