Fantastic Bore: FF Movie Slammed - Page 4

**Jo Dawn** · 07-11-2005, 09:05 PM

I happened to like the movie. (Despite Jessica Alba. SORRY ELITE!! *hugs*) Of course, Michael Chiklis is always awesome (ever watch the Shield? Sweeet.) and the guy from Nip/ Tuck (can't think of name offhand, hehe) that played Doom was really cool, though I thought he didn't have enough screentime!! (Though, do his eyebrow totally facinate anyone else? Hehe.

)

I don't read the comics; I've really only read a few. But I was never once bored with this movie. Johnny Storm and the Thing were PERFECT. And I love the fact that they sent more time on Ben Grimm's story than the rest. Good choice, as he is the most human of them all. It was heartbreaking. Well played by Michael Chiklis. I give him endless kudos. I may go see this one again... And I'm definately buying it on DVD when it comes out.

I have a feeling it's going to bomb, kinda like the other Marvel movies that fell short of Spider-man's sucess. People have seen FF now and since most of them didn't like it they will tell people not to see it.

You're right, I'm sure not any single person ever will see Fantastic four, and No one will EVER buy the DVD, and no video store will ever buy multiple copies of the DVD or tape.

Anyone being most people. As in majority. You know? Like the majority of the people who saw Resident Evil thought it sucked. Just like the majority of the people who saw this movie*Not on this forum but the people I've talked to don't like it* Sure people will buy the DVD. I'm sure someone even bought House Of The Dead on DVD. Movies can be horrid and someone will always buy them. I'm just saying it ran it's course already in one weekend.

Well, you also have to factor in merchandice sales. I'm pretty sure F4 is a movie kids will love, and that'll sell a lot of Thing feet.

haha last time I was at Wal-mart I was looking at those FF toys. haha their funny o_O They seemed to have alot too...but toy sales have nothing to do with the amount of money the movie itself makes. If you want to add all that in the movie is going to make money at hotels, pay-per view, rentals, DVD purchase, toys, cable showing, and video games. Everything makes money in the end X_X

*The Stryker* · 07-12-2005, 12:49 AM

Crappy Movies can make a mint just in DVD sales alone, Box office numbers are starting to become 2nd priority.

Eurotrip made alot of money.

So if FF is good even in the smallest margain it'll kill in DVD sales.not to mention Toys

What factors in most are the DVD and box office sales themselves. When the DVDs are made, rental stores buy various amounts. That still makes money for the movie itself. The movie is big, all things considered, regardless of how much people hate it.

I bet some sad people are waiting for the 'non-CGI-reduced Lindsay Lohan's breasts' version.

I saw the movie last night, hate to say it...but I was bored! The trailer for this film was better lol!

The only part I liked about the movie was Ben and his story, the rest was kinda dull and slightly corny. I wanted to like it a lot more than I did, trust me.

Ive been watching the fantastic four cartoon ondvd, so i was hyped to see this movie, was it as good as x2? no but i definitly enjoyed in a summer with a lot of darker movies, a light hearted take on the fantastic four was definitly enjoyable

marleynaki · 07-15-2005, 03:47 PM

i saw the movie yesterday and for me was really good...
is the first movie and need told all history about how became in the fantastic four.

also is really funny this movie i like so much the jokes of the thing and human torch...

~~Leo656~~ · 07-17-2005, 11:11 AM

I saw it opening night and... it was eh. I didn't hate it, but it was the worst of the "modern" Marvel movies I've seen (keep in mind I haven't seen Elektra yet). Chiklis kept the movie interesting for me as Thing, and Alba was smokin' hot, but Reed was boring and Doom was the least intimidating movie villain since Richard Pryor's boss in Superman III. And will anyone besides comic fans get the crate being shipped to Latveria? Nobody in the (packed to capacity) theatre I was in seemed to understand the reference besides me. Ah well. Aside from the kinda weak fight at the end, the way Doom was portrayed was what killed the flick for me. He's like Marvel's Darth Vader, he ranked number 1 in a Wizard ranking of comic book villains a few years back, and yet this flick made him seem so weak.

Well, I wasn't expecting much. I'm not sorry I saw it, I just won't rush to get the DVD and will hope for better things from the sequel. I guess every comic movie just sucks now compared to Batman Begins, but what can ya do?

Make a sequel.

*damnhooligan* · 07-19-2005, 04:28 PM

I just caught the flick the other night. It was amusing, but pretty juvenile. I laughed, I groaned, I smiled, I shook my head.

But dear God! Jules McMahon's eyebrows were scarier than Doom himself! They are a force to be reckoned with!

I had a blast watching the movie though. It's been awhile since a good, fun superhero flick came out. 8/10

I was REALLY disapointed with this movie. I was soo pyched for it, cause I love the FF and I thaught the trailer looked good. But dammit, I saw it opening night, and was really let down. I was unimpressed by the acting, mainly Julian McMahon, cause Dr.Doom has such potential for being an amazing villian, and in the end, I didn't give two flying turds for him. Their seemed to be jump cuts, the action scenes weren't all that amazing, and the tone of the movie was too goofy in my opinion. As is the case with most people who've seen this movie, the only thing I actually liked about the movie was... the Thing. The one scene I actually liked was when Ben's wife sets her ring on the ground, and Ben goes to pick it up, but he can't because of his hands. That part actually moved me. But after that, the only movement I got from the movie was my ass getting tired from sitting. This movie had Spider-Man and Batman potential, but instead, we got something short of Daredevil and just barely above Elektra, if you get my meaning.

** out of ****
