Fantastic Four (2005)

Re: Fantastic Four

Saw the cinema trailers earlier this week whilst watching Batman Begins. Have already marked it on my diary....... :cool:
 
Re: Fantastic Four

This is the one film this summer that I MUST see when it opens. The only other film I have to see when it opens is "Harry Potter". But that's a way off. In fact you have just reminded me to call up my buddy to go with me. LOL... I have to tell him in advance otherwise he'll make plans.
 
The Fantastic Four

Just come from seeing this tonight. Nothing out of the bag, certainly pales in comparison to the X-men movies or Batman Begins, but big dumb fun nonetheless. Anyone else seen it?
 
Re: The Fantastic Four

Not yet but it got very average reviews so I'll probably wait for it to come to DVD at the video library.... :D

*EDIT* Whilst I've enjoyed some of the comic bok adaptations (like Spiderman and Batman Begins) I feel Holywood is starting to overdo this entire sub-grenre in film. Typical flogging of the golden goose syndrome methinks.. :eek:
 
Re: The Fantastic Four

I don't think I'm gonna be too interested in seeing this...

Does it still semi-relate to the comics???

Is it still Reed Richards as Mr Fantastic, married to Sue Richards as Invisible Girl, and her brother Johnny as The Human Torch... With Ben Grimm their friend and pilot who gets turned into The Thing???

I saw that Dr Doom was part of their space trip, even though there were no COSMIC RAYS to affect them... When was Dr Doom a friend and not some Psychopath with a god complex????
 
Re: The Fantastic Four

Haven't read the comics so am not sure how closely it sticks - all the characters are the same, though, as far as names go. Except Reed and Sue aren't married yet.
 
Re: The Fantastic Four

Interesting...

1) *SLAPS CULHWCH* What do you mean you've never read the comics??? Bet you never watched the cartoons either???
2) Reed and Sue were married (in the comics) before they went into space...

Still, think I'll wait until it makes it to the small screen, before watching it... :D
 
Re: The Fantastic Four

I'll probably watch it. I've seen pretty much every superhero movie (apart from Dolph's Punisher & Halle Berry's Catwoman :eek: and I'll probably see them at some point).

Looks fairly cack on the trailers, but we'll see. So far one of the best superhero movies I've seen in recent years is the Incredibles.. :D
 
Re: The Fantastic Four

I didn't think this was out yet. Not sure if I'll see it don't think i could cope with seeing a bad version of the fantastic four!

But saying that, they are one of my fave comics, so i kind of feel i should see it because of that (but it has Julian McMahon playing doom :mad: ) O i don't know. I suppose if im in wimbledon one day with nothing else to do i may go see it.

Don't get me wrong, i loved the film but it took too long until they were in the custumes fighting together doing the superhero pose :D but still, cracking film though!
 
Re: The Fantastic Four

Being Australian I was cringing a little to hear Julian McMahon was playing Dr Doom, but he actually pulled it off pretty successfully.

No, TM, didn't watch the cartoons, either.

I'll agree with you there, WS, The Incredibles set a benchmark few will reach....

Just go not expecting much (which I did) and you might find yourself enjoying it. Or wait for the DVD. Certainly not a 'must see on the big screen' film. The effects were nothing special.
 
Re: The Fantastic Four

I want to go see this, even though I suspect it'll be crap. I just have a weakness for Marvel in particular, and comic-adaptions in general.

I'm a fan of the guy playing Doom - seems like he's the only one that can act. And he seems perfect to the role (good looking egotist, face gets messed-up, goes a bit more mental). I never read the comics, but I read other Marvel stuff, and that Gaiman 1659 (or whatever it's called) recently. That had a nice take on the F4.

None of my mates fancy it though, so might just have to force the missus into watching it. Roll on X3 and Spider-Man 3 :)

I disagree. I really like McMahon on Nip/Tuck, but as Dr. Doom, I think he was miscast. Or maybe if they changed his voice to something more menacing (ala Darth Vader) when he wore his mask, I would have found him more convincing.
 
Re: The Fantastic Four

Not quite as bad as The Hulk, but still not a good movie. Those of you waiting for the DVD to rent aren't missing anything. Doesn't compare to Batman Begins. This was a snoozer.
 
Re: The Fantastic Four

I saw it and I liked it. Agreed, it was better than the Hulk, not as good as Spiderman. I don't know about X-Men. I thought it was pretty much tied with X-Men, considering they made a lot of changes in X-Men, as well.
