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

Two cents=Opinions, ones several of the public happen to share, until I see some kind of moronic law that forbids freedom of speech and constructive reasoning, I think you're out of options where catergorsing is concerned

*Brodie* · 07-09-2005, 12:17 PM

My post said it was normal people (Notice the 'you and I'), and the two cents, i know what two cents means. I'm also stating that some people on here treat it like Rotten Tomatoes is Biblical Law.

Don't assume I'm saying people can't have opinions, because I'm not you.

*Anarky* · 07-09-2005, 12:20 PM

Okay, how much do you like this thread?

Anyways, I don't even know what Rotten Tomatoes is, aside from vegetables (actually they're fruits, but who cares) one shouldn't eat...

It often is with me, I agree with several of thier reviews upon watching the movies recommened

If you like it, fine, but don't take hissy fits because others did'nt

**Jester** · 07-09-2005, 03:30 PM

I think I liked it more cause I had low expectations....

*Dane E5R* · 07-09-2005, 05:19 PM

I was satisfied. Everyone portrayed their characters well, and it ended EXACTLY how I wanted it to. But yea, like Brodie said (sorta,) just because this wasn't a SPECTACULAR film like Spider-Man doesn't mean it wasn't a GOOD film. Seriously, you naysayers can't say you sat through that entire film and didn't laugh at ANY of the interactions between Johnny and Ben. And if you did, you've got some record breaking sticks crammed up your asses.
I gotta say, I'm shocked to hear that a lot of people didn't like the Thing. I thought he was excellent, especially his groggy voice. I was a little disappointed in Alicia Masters, though. As much as I was rooting for a black Alicia, she didn't seem much like the Alicia I was familiar with. She was just sorta.. There.

**Jester** · 07-09-2005, 05:30 PM

I think she was only "there" because she pretty much was....there wqsn't any real development of her character....although in a movie with this much to devlope some charcters devlopment is kinda left lacking....

I never have honestly, it was the same with the cartoon

Once more, I back up my opinion the film had more lows than hights, if you want to count how many "sticks are up my ass", try removing the foot that was stuck up your own whilst you were counting

sorry to dissappoint, but I havent seen catwoman, I didnt feel like kiiling all my brain cells.

*Zachatello00* · 07-09-2005, 11:22 PM

i liked FF. It did what it needed to do. The problem is, I'm getting tired of watching movies about origins. I know the origins, that's why I'm seeing the movie. They kinda spent a whole lotta time doing nothing. But it was worth seeing. I'm just looking forward to the sequel.

*DrSpengler* · 07-10-2005, 10:25 PM

I saw it just a few minutes ago. It's kind've in the middle for me. Better than the likes of Daredevil and Hulk, but not as good as Spider-Man or X-Men.

They got a lot of things right, which I appreciated, and the things they changed didn't irk me as much as I had expected. My problem, really, was that there wasn't any real conflict untilt he end of the movie. And even then it was just a fight scene. I feel a little let down, but this wasn't the big super hero movie I was anticipating, anyway (that honor goes to the much superior Batman Begins).

Saw it tonight with everyone's favorite comedian, Voltron. I say I'm in the middle about it, too. It was good, but it didn't size up there with Spider-Man or Punisher. I liked the little jokes here and there, and the characters were played fairly well. I'm not a big comic book person, so I didn't have anything to compare it to. Voltron told me it coincided with the comic a good amount, which is good. Overall, good movie.

*KROW* · 07-10-2005, 11:18 PM

I saw it Sunday afternoon, and I have only two gripes:

-- Reed's hair (I was expecting more white highlights)
-- Doom's voice (not very diverse and intimidating)

The rest I thought was quite entertaining. I liked the way the team was handled. As for the ending, I found it to be a bit rushed, but it was good altogether.

I not only await the sequel, but the crossover with Spider-Man (yeah, it'll never happen, but hey...

)

*Zachatello00* · 07-11-2005, 04:29 AM

Avi Arad just confirmed the sequel as FF raked in 56 million this weekend. I'm excited about this because now that the origin is out of the way, they can just explode with action. I'm glad that Superman Returns won't have to do an origin story.

Eh Batman made more, $71.1 Million. And I have a feeling that's all the money FF is going to make. I mean it's cool if people like it but I don't think anyone is going to see it now. 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.

Nope, Batman Begins only made $48,745,440.

This movie was entertaining. It had its flaws, yeah, but I don't think it's as bad as people are making it out to be. I wasn't bothered by the changes made from the comic, though I'm not really familiar with Doom's origin story. The Thing and The Torch were the strongest characters I think (despite the Thing's rubber suit, which was done pretty well for a rubber suit, but would have been better as cg rock).
Jessica Alba is great to look at, but from day one I just couldn't picture her as the Invisible Woman, and she just doesn't seem right for the role even after seeing the movie. The relationship between her and Reed didn't seem very believable and it seemed a little forced. It seemed the scenes of her getting naked were there just to show some Alba, and weren't really needed for the story.
Reed Richards was a bland character, one of the most uninteresting characters in the movie. Doom was ok, but I agree that his voice didn't seem right, especially after he put on the mask.
The story was a little slow at times, but it kept my attention. They spent too much time on the origin and them figuring out their powers. It wasn't one of those movies where I was looking at my watch constantly, so I give this movie a
3 / 5.

I give Ioan Gruffud kudos then, because that's how Reed is in the comics.
