Missy Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 The trailer is running with Elektra, but, if you want to see part of it right now, click here. (You'll need QuickTime.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Alba looks pretty good in it in the trailer. I'm impressed thus far with my 15 seconds of footage, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-T Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Seriously, FF in the same league as Spiderman and Xmen is laughable, who are they trying to kid when thier big stars are the Commish and the chick from Idle Hands. Who was Toby McGuire before Spider-Man? Who was Hugh Jackman before X-Men? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-T Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I saw a lot of people ragging on The Hulk before it came out, and it turned out pretty good. I'm waiting to see what they do with FF. From the trailer, it looks like it's going to be really cool. I hope whaty they are able to do with Hulk & Thing means Collosus will be in X3.

Hulk was atrocious. I can't remember a movie since Batman & Robin where I saw so many uninspiring displays of "acting". On topic: Uh...this is going to suck because of what they did to Doom.

MaxPower Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I liked the directing and cut scene comic style of Hulk, I thought it worked really well. The story as a whole sucked, but I'm not going to complain about seeing Jennifer C run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Instead of going head-to-head with War of the Worlds, 20th Century Fox has opted to push the release date of FF back to July 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart, considering how some Superhero movies going head to head with others have bombed. LXG comes to mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was Toby McGuire before Spider-Man? Who was Hugh Jackman before X-Men? Actually, Toby was quite acclaimed before Spider Man... including oscar talk. So that one falls through.

Pleasantville's one of my favourite movies and he got good reviews for Cider House Rules/Wonder Boys too. The mere fact that FF's released after Batman Begins means it's going to suffer (if people judge by trailers, that is). I'll watch it because I mark for Ioan Gruffudd, but I'm not exactly optimistic.

J Marv Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 There's a hidden trailer on the movie's website. Go here click on US Enter or whatever and watch or skip the intro. Once the site has loaded, tap the F4 key a few times until it begins to load the easter egg (trust me, you'll know). Then click on the classified video link and watch the trailer. I thought it was a lot better than the first one. A lot better. Still kinda underwhelming, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I actually think that's pretty damn smart to use the F4 key to access another page. Trailer looks meh to me. The one thing that looks INCREDIBLE though is Dr. Doom. From what little I could see, he looked freaking awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-T Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I had been looking forward to it for a while, but I think this movie was a disappointment. They managed to tweak the team's origins while remaining faithful to the source materials and the core personalities of each character. A miscalculation by Reed Richards, combined with the arrogance of Victor von Doom, results in the gang being exposed to a cosmic storm which gives them their powers. Without spoiling anything, the ending screams "sequel". The problem is that the movie is very light on action. I found it to be boring. The scenes featuring The Thing were entertaining, but I could have done with less character development and more action.

Johnny MC Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I thought the dialogue was overall pretty cheesy, and there was a lack of action. It was a humorous fun movie and I was moderately entertained, which is why I would give it a 6/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteve Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I was not dissapointed. I expected pretty much what I got. SPOILERS AHEAD Ok, so firstoff, I don't like putting Doom on the 'team' in space. I understand their need to not explain his powers as they are in the comic books since they come from more than one source (Mystic abilities learned from Monks, the armor itself and the host of abilities that come from it, his own very often overlooked and only occasionally used super power, as well as his command of an army of Doom bots). But at the same time, I feel like putting him in space cheapens him. He is not powerful by chance, he is powerful by choice. Its not a lucky break in a freak accident which made him Dr. Doom, it was his decision to become Dr. Doom that made him what he should be. Doom would never have a problem with his company hitting financial troubles, if there is something Doom can do it is manage resources, which is why in a world run by him there would be no hunger, there would be no want. It would be utopia. A man who cannot keep a business doing well cannot built utopia. Once he was in that suit, the voice over really sounded a little bit off. It was clearly a voice over and it just did not sound right. The insta-fix cosmic powers machine kinda annoys me too. Especially since it is reversible. Next time the Fantastic Four are in a bind, just grab the local mailman (Stan Lee), paperboy, doorman, etc throw him in and juice that bad boy up and you have yourself the Fantastic Forty in a matter of hours. But worst of all, that machine makes Ben Grimm totally fly in the face of one of his biggest defining character traits, even after the film set up a real feeling of agony for him being the Thing. Now, the 'uh oh, they are going to die unless I change back' is one thing, but when he is offered the chance to turn back into Ben after the fights and he is like 'nah, I like being ugly' that was so totally wrong that it made me weep right in the theater... even more than I did when I saw the trailer for Ice Age 2 show up on screen. On the bright side... Johnny Storm (pun only half intended) was so on the mark that he made other people look better just by being in the same scene as him. He was dead on for the most part. Nerd moments abounded in the film, but that was the only thing going for it. The momentary jokes and the camp (which is appropriate for the film, no argument there, I mean come on look at the bad guys the FF historically face). Everyone enjoys when the Thing says "Its clobberin time", and when Johnny says "Flame on" or little nerd out moments when Reed reaches for toilet paper and Sue has trouble controlling her powers while in akward states of dress. But sadly the moments of chuckling (which there were quite a few) were not enough to save this movie. I gave it 7 out of 10, but I demand that I get at least four dollars of that back. The remaining three were spent on popcorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
