Hey you guys. I'm not on very much, and I'm trying to undo that now. Recently, I went to the Movie theater to go FF2: RotSS. Let me say that EVERYTHING BELOW HERE IS AN OPINION!!!


[SPOILERS]O.K, Let's start from the beggining. It starts off with an unknown force cloaked in some comic clouds has multiple arms that are digging into a random planet, (Lets hope it's Gobotron). That lone image made me sick to my stomach, but I'll get to that later.
Then we get to a montage of scenes involving a shiney asteriod passing across lands, and strange weather-related phenomina. That scene was unnessisary. It has nothing to do with the later plot. Then there's Reed & Susan's wedding (Mr Fantasic & The Invisible Woman), Yeah, we all saw it. Lalala, doot doo untill this asteroid comes and shorts out electric devices. Johnny goes after it, and then, there's the Surfer. The best part of the film. The Surfer is potrayed very nicely. Good CGI, good acting, Good tie in to original Zen-la origin, but that's where it all goes downhill. In the trailes, the showed the Johnny-Surfer chase. Boring. Already saw it. Snore, then Johnny comes down. Later, test results come in to officially say that Johnny Storm has become Super-Skrull. Yes, Super-Skrull (Not litterally). He get's other FF's powers by touch. Let's skip forward. Doom come to Latveria, Then meets up with Good o'l Norrin Radd. Surfer blows him back, and he regains his original form. Then, lets talk about the fight scenes. THERE ARE NONE!!! They are mostly save this person, and that person, and chase scenes. They try to integrate fight scenes into it, but in never lasts more then 1 min. Fast forward, Zoopzoopzoopzoopzoopzoop. The're in the forest. The general is an A**H*le. They make a thing that makes the Surfer get off his board (Which I don't understand how, but it's comicbook physics, if not Fantasic Four Physics.). They take the Surfer, and conduct experiments on him. Then, Susan gets in there and talks to the surfer. Whew, he's a good guy. Wait, then who's going to destroy the planet then. Galactus, that's who. I'll get to this later.
Now, the FF break out with the Surfer, they use the new Fantasi-car, (Which is more of a Fantasi-craft to me). They chase Doom who got the SS's Board, and is now going to reak havok. Chase scene, Susan gets stabbed, Doom falls into a lake. Horray for us! But then...
...Uh-oh. Is that Galactus up there. NO IT ISN'T!!!!! Instead, we got a Big cloud. Infact, were not going to call it Galactus. He has been dubbed Cloudlactus. This is what made me queasy at the beggining. They did not show anything but these big cloudy tendrils sucking the planet dry. Now, what would a Giant cloud want with the energy of a planet? Nothing. Cloudlactus has no reason to. I'll cut this short.
Galactus > Cloudlactus
Unicron > Cloudlactus
Transformers > FF2

In the end, It wasn't a Fantastic Four movie. It was half of a Fantasic Four movie. It was not influenced by the comics at all. and they didn't think about the fans. Not one bit. To the director, don't make another one. I can't bear to see Ahnnilus Cloudlactusized.

In the end, 1 1/2 stars out of 5.
[/SPOILERS]

I didn't think the movie was that horrible, but hey, it was better than X-Men movies.

(Yes, I hate the movies because I felt that they showcased Wolverine too much and not the family structure that makes X-Men what they are.)

In other words, F4 does what X-Men couldn't. Teamwork and family structure.

And remember this, Galactus looks different to everyone, so it does make sense that he's a CLOUD OF DOOM-- oh wait, we need a doombot-- but anyway, you could see his "helmet/horns" few times inside the cloud and when he's creeping up over Saturn. :V You just have to really look for these things because it can go a little too fast.


... and you have really no idea what Galactus does but you complained about his appearance?

He eats planets. That's why he was trying to eat Earth.abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

...you made it sound like you didn't know. Augh!

Anyway, did they actually /see/ him? We only saw the cloud in the space, after all.

I remember a quote from one of the actors that Galactus wasn't supposed to be seen but... his presence was to be felt.

I suppose that not seeing what is destroying your homeworld is just as scary as seeing a huge man go "ARR NUM NUM *chomp*" on a large chunk of it.

Oh well, I didn't really think the cloud was all that bad anyway. I did want to see the Galactus and not the cloud.


As for the X-Men movies, I did like them at first, but they were making way too many promises that they couldn't keep with adding some fan favorite characters that never got in at all. (For example, they promised three times with Gambit, so I was like "Stop promising things that you're not going to get around to!")

I liked the movie *shrug*

I would almost go so far to say it's one of the most comic-faithful Marvel movies out there so far. Well, with the exception of them totally Lex Luthor-ing Doctor Doom...which made no sense. FF2 fixes that, a little...but they still have a way to go.

As far as Galactus, as it was mentioned in a previous post...YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY SEE HIM. The movie is called "Rise Of The Silver Surfer" not "Rise Of Galactus" The movie was about the Silver Surfer's redemption and sacrifice to save Earth, not Galactus. I thought it was actually better for him to remain unseen, as it made him that much more threatening. Way more than a giant dude in a purple tunic with a bucket on his head.

You gotta remember that just something looks cool in the comics it does not mean it'll work out on the big screen. Take the X-Men films as an example...how bad ass would Wolverine look if he were running around in the bright yellow costume he wears in the comics? Seriously, he would look ridiculous..all that yellow just screams out "Target here! SHOOT ME!!" Healing factor or no...it would get annoying. You gotta make some changes when you move the stuff to another form of media.

I haven't seen it yet. Since I'm not a fan of theatures anymore, I just wait for them to come out on DVD. Several reasons as to why.

1.) Price of movie and popcorn and soda is outrageous.
2.)Sometimes our theature is either way too loud or they screw up the EQ.
3.) I can not relax enough when kids are screaming or babies are crying.
4.) No pause button or intermission.
5.) If a movie turns out to be horrible, I wasted money.

I use to love the movie going experience, but now I'm more like "been there, done that.".... but thats just me.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Same here. I rarely go to theaters any more. It takes a truly exceptional movie to drag me out of the house, pay the ridiculous ticket prices, and put up with the annoyances.

I think the last movie I saw in the theater was Star Wars Episode III. Since then, I've rented everything I wanted to watch on DVD.

I'll be kind of interested in the FF2: Silver Surfer movie when it comes on DVD, and I'll rent it then. But I still need to see the original movie first.

TronFAQ Wroteay the ridiculous ticket prices,

Hey, your paying 8-10 dollars to see a movie that took over 80 Million to make. Think about that.
