I did watch it, I guess I just didn't catch how it kept going.

PG rating?

PG == not worth going to

My Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer Review (minor spoilers)

[spoil]I knew that after the wedding is when the real action would begin, and thankfully it didn't take too long to get to it. I was afraid that Sue Storm was going to be real bitchy in this film, but thankfully her character was very understanding. She spoke with both reason and logic as her guide, and in the end was the reasoning voice to decide to help the Surfer and save the planet. Johnny was cocky as ever, but they softened him up as the movie progressed and in the end he was a real hero. Reed Richards actually grew a pair of balls and was very confident as a leader of their group, while trying to balance his personal life and his professional life as a superhero. Ben wasn't as cranky as he was in the first movie and seemed happy-go-lucky than his hard exterior would suggest. So the characters grew as they should have, but they still seemed to be lacking pizazz. Maybe that pizazz was supposed to be the introduction of the Silver Surfer, but he added just a little extra enjoyment. To sum up, it was probably as good as the first one, and the ride was semi-enjoyable over all. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one. If you didn't like the first one, this one probably won't do anything for you.[/spoil]

BTW, I don't know this one was rated PG and the first one was rated PG-13. They said "crap" a lot and Sue said "pissed off". So I'm guessing language wasn't an influence in the rating of this film. But I don't know what was sensitive material in the first movie to warrant a PG-13 rating.

The first one was terrible. Like, film project terrible.

I saw FF2 and while it was definately an upgrade on the terrible original, it was still a bad film. Entertaining? Yes, at parts, but still a bad, bad movie.


It's a bad franchise that didn't even warrant a single film with that director and cast.

The fact they stuck the shittiest blue contact lenses on one of the single-most beautiful women on the planet is enough for me to get frustrated with this franchise. I brought the movie on DVD the other day for like, $5 and it's worth that. Just. But anything more is pushing it.

I don't really care much about the sequel...the Fantastic 4 have always been a bit cheesy and DIRE need of a refresh. Guess it won't be a movie series that does that. I'll see it for free, thank god. I'm interested to see how the Silver Surfer looks, other than that I expect to feel ill, dirty and disappointed.

Given that the Marvel Superhero films have been going decidedly downhill, I'm even MORE excited for Chris Nolans Dark Night.

Has anyone downloaded this from torrents? If so mind uploading it? I started to download it from demonoid but it got to 99.9% done and it there's no more seeders for some stupid ass reason......

I don't think I'll be able to see this in the theaters hence why I was asking if someone has downloaded it if they can upload it here. Thanks in advance.

I think someone is working on this Raveers

Okay, Reed Richards comes off as a moron, Sue Storm is hot and all but I didn't 'believe' Jessica as her either. 'Thing' should have been bigger and less obviously latex foam. Chikliss did a good job with what he had, though. His character portrayal was dead on, although the effects for Ben Grimm were like a dog shitting all over Yancy street. The guy who plays Johnny Storm was good too, but thanks to the script I didn't give a shit about him. Even in Super Skrull mode. The Torch effects rocked however as did the Surfer stuff.

All of the above complaints could have been acceptable if the real Hulking fuckups in this one didn't occur. The Second place for fucking up here goes to Galactus. Why even bother? The effects for that were decent enough, but it was so far removed from what I wanted/expected, I couldn't wrap my brains around it long enough to consider it legitimate. It was indeed just a big black cloud of "scary". So what. Still, I could have made it past that if it weren't for the #1 first place fuckup for comic book mis-characterization/mis-casting in a film to date.

Emo-Doom. Give me a fucking break. Whoever cast that guy as Victor Von Doom was on a serious smack binge. He bothered me in the first one, but here he made me hate the whole film. Not only does he come off as unintelligent, he appears to be fighting for the pink team. In no way did I believe he was the son of mystic-gypsies and the self-imposed ruler of Latveria. He reminded me more of some mid-level executive you'd see bitching about his mocha while in line at Starbucks, than the disfigured genius who locked himself inside high-tech armor and overthrew a country by force. What a waste.

But that's just me. I would consider watching this again, and maybe changing my mind about some things.

Unlike Spider-Man III. I'm going to pretend they never made that one. I'd rather tear my eyeballs out of my head than see that again.

I actually agree with most of your jabs about the accuracy of the comic-to-movie translation for FF. I still rather enjoyed the film though.

The thing is, I've read only a handful of stories including FF, Silver Surfer and/or Galactus, so I could hardly be bothered that it's a travesty of the original characters. I mean, I did notice a lot of it, but I didn't especially care. I found Richards in this movie much closer to the charismatic leader from the comics, than in the first FF, but it's still very apparent that the casting for his and Sue Storm's characters was a big mistake.

What I liked about the movie: the narrative flowed nicely, Surfer and Torch in action were always fun, a lot of the scenes looked and felt very... erm... super-heroic., and finally, it wasn't filled with sappy, mushy, idiotic, repetitive, neverending dialogue scenes, like Spiderman 3 for example.

I must also say I enjoyed the hammy, cliched villany of Doom quite a bit, but I'm completely ignorant of the original version of this character.

I was never a big fan of the comics. I just thought the movie plain sucked.

I've been hooked on Alba since



and so enjoyed her in FF as well.

Like I said, I might watch it again someday and not hate it so much.

All in all I guess it was a decent action flick, by todays watered down babysitter action flick standards. I just really like Doom 'the character', and I felt like he got his crispy techno-magical balls chopped off. I probably could have handled the rest of it otherwise.

Then again, I've been full of venom and hatred lately, so maybe it's just me. Jessica is smoking hot, though. If the part where her clothes burned off were a little longer and more 'exposed', this could have been a great movie indeed.

Mis-charactawhat?

I'll agree with you on Jessica - the rest - I'm still ticked about the lack of effort apparent in the movie.

Tim Story has no business being involved with FF. And if they bring him back again, I still won't be watching.
