Just rented FF movie

[Artboy99]

I will sum it up with a single scene:

Victor Von Doom stands facing all four of the team now working together to fight him. He reaches out his hands and lightning/ energy eminates from his finger tips.

Now comes the time for the dialogue. The Doom I know from the comics is a brilliant man, but is a megalamaniac thinking himself the better of all humans bar none. He should say something like:

" And now behold! The unmitigated power of..Doom!" or some similar grandiose comment that denotes his self opinion. What does he say?

"This will be fun"

 

Horrible movie.

Glad I rented it, I was considering buying this.

Huh. I liked it. Sure it wasn't too deep or thought-provoking, but I think the director/writer did a good job with Torch and Ben. Reminded me of the campiness of the silver age.

EXACTLY.

[Stronguy]

Obviously Hollywood doesn't have any Stan Lees writing movies.

Yup. If you like campiness, you'll like the movie. If you're expecting a serious cinematic effort, you will be disappointed.

[johnenock]

What can you expect from the FF? Or X-Men? Or Hellboy? Or the first three Supes movies, for that matter? They wear tights. Camp is embedded in comics. Unless you go Sin City.

Bought the DVD last night and I actually liked it. They had to get a lot of storyline out of the way so there could have been more action but the actors were perfectly casted. I recently saw Batman and after listening to all the hype I just don't see what the big deal was with this movie. I lost interest about two thirds of the way through. It started out okay but generally speaking I thought it was terrible.

huh. not entirely true.

 

 

let the writers write, and keep the directors, actors, producers, marketing people, and friends/family of any of the above out of it. many a fine -script has been butchered beyond all belief long after the writer was through with it

[johnenock]

If it did the movie would be titled: The Freakish but Fun-loving Fabulous Fantastic Four vs. the Decidedly Devilish and Diabolical Dr. Doom.

[Artboy99]

Batman Begins was phenominal to me.

Perhaps that is the difference, I do want a more serious take on these movies. I can watch the cartoons for the campiness.

Thats why I must say that DD was the best comic book movie ever....yet no one seems to agree. Camp kept to a minimum, the villian/s were amazing, the substories were strong. For me Doom wasn't as cool as I pictured him as being...whereas in DD, Bullseye is so much cooler than I pictured him in the comics. As well Jessica Alba as a blonde in just smokin'. FF I would watch again, which is more than I could ever say about the Hulk.

Did you just say Daredevil was the best comic movie ever?

 

Maybe you are right though. That playground fight scene was pretty sweet.

I enjoyed FF more than Hulk and both Spider-man movies because it didn't seem to take itself so seriously. My favorite comic book movies? Superman 2 and Sin City. That is until someone remakes "Return to Riverdale"!

[whetteon]

Daredevil was a good movie. You people obviously suffer from some type of jealousy. I just don’t know why? Perhaps it’s because you don’t like Ben?

Too late.

When i was a kid and superman 2 was coming out i wanted to see it more than anything else! the idea of super baddies with the same powers as superman had me really excited! This is what i had been waiting for and when i went to see it in the theater i loved it,but that isn't what stuck with me about that movie!!! You see my dad insisting that we make it a double feature and go see some movie i had no interest in at all--it was a little picture called raiders of the lost ark!!!! Well anyway that's what stuck with me most about superman 2--that fact that it had gotten completely blown away by raiders of the lost ark!

I think that's an unfair comparison. I thought BB was good, but didn't think it deserved all the lavish praise it had received. It has nothing to do with campiness vs. seriousness.

I agree - it was well made, with solid direction and performances, but it was largely uninspired and plot heavy.

Agreed.

 

Watching BB for the second time recently on DVD, it did seem a bit slow and not as good as I recall it being in the theater. [The beginning was VERY slow.}

 

Overall, decent, but not great.

I agree with that assessment.

 

And for the record, I had low expectations going in to see Daredevil. And was pleasantly surprised. My wife even thought it was pretty good.
