Rise of the silver surfer
 

Saw the trailer when i watched spidey and i have to say i actually think it may be quite good:y:

Didn't really like the first one, but the surfer looks like the goods. I will actually go and watch this.

There's like 5 threads on this. Anyway, the movie looks like the first one: Something worth watching in theaters, but not worth more than the "summer popcorn flick" deal.

I do want to see it, but Invisible woman could be replaced by a cardboard cutout at a fraction of the price and twice the depth, Johnny's two lines of dialogue in the trailer are both pretty cheesy, and it sounds like they're going to screw the pooch with Galactus like they did with Doom.

It does look better. I think if they could learn from their mistakes with the first they could make this better, by producing a better storyline/villian and properly ressurecting Dr. Doom. Which seems to be what they're doing.
So yea, I have hope for this. It's not gonna be a great movie, or even as good of a comic adaptation as others, but it should be watchable on a summer day.

If Galactus is a cloud comic fans are gonna hate this.

HW rarely learns from mistakes.

is galactus going to be the guy in the hood in the trailer?

Apparently Galactus is a cloud.

Loved the first. Can't wait for this.

yea the comic fans are going to shit a brick

No, that's Dr. Doom by the looks of it.

They'll probably make Galactus a midget.

They should make him a penis.

lol, i can see that working out, he could be the penis of the silver surfer. :rofl:

Is that where the "rise" bit comes in?

:rofl:


once you go silver..... i dont know where im going with this

Galactus is Val Venis.

My theory is that Alenoid is a script writer for the movie.

Galactus is gonna be Master Shake from Aqua Teen....and then after they show thats its him they are gonna break out in a dance number with Shake singing "I got your money bitches"

Is that why the first one sucked so much? Doom was really Doug Basham?

god m drunk haha :rofl: btu hat is good shit.

Jessica Alba was the only reason to go see the first movie. YOu are insane.

SPOILERS



I just saw the movie and it wasnt as good as spiderman but it was fast paced and had a lot of action. Some of the cgi sucked in terms of mr fantastic stretching while dancing, and there wasnt that much depth to the villains. The screwed up doom again too i think. They brought him back perfectly but they disposed of him way too quickly. Galactus was a joke. I almost marked out when he was coming across saturn cuz you saw his shadow on the planet and it was the shape of his head but in reality he looked like a fucking rectum. The Team vehicle was awsome and the surfer was cool tho.

I that the movie was one giant commercial....with a storyline...

I dont think Ive seen a movie with this many product placements since that joke scene in Waynes World...

Like Reavant said...CGI on Mr. Fantastic was crappy...

The movie actually reminded me of the 3rd Spiderman and just like I was with that...I was very disapointed in this movie also...

Spoilers---

Galactus was only shown for a bit...they showed you his shadow at one point like Reavant said but then you finally see him as a giant ass cloud...WTF???...But I guess if you want to be truthful you do see up inside the cloud where you can sorta make out the outline of what is suppose to be Galactus...You can actually only see the outline of his helmet...But still...

I enjoyed it. Summer flick that knew what it wanted to be. No more no less. :y:

I'd like to see a Surfer solo movie.

Its in the plans....The one thing I was curious with this movie was...Are they gonna kill the Surfer off? Will the movie be before all this happen? Or will he end up living through this movie and his movie will be about what happens after this..

But anyways....The movie is in the works. I was reading that Marvel has like Captain America and one other superhero that they are working on right now getting onto film. When thats done then they are gonna start working on the Surfer movie.

I went through the movie knowing that Surfer was going to live in some way, shape or form.

The movie was a great popcorn flick. Not stellar, but fun kersplodey shit.

I was glad that it didnt follow the trend of most of these other movies out right now that push the 2 hour limit. It was short and sweet.

I have a feeling Galactus and Doom will be back.

Surfer gets his own movie and Galactus and Doom join forces maybe?

lol

Since Doom wasn't really killed, him coming back is unsurprising. I'm hoping Galactus comes back as the enemy in the Surfer movie.

Saw it today. The story was well paced even if the action wasn't particularly gripping. There was some good character development and the handling of the Surfer and Galactus was awesome. I'm definitely checking it out again.

Does anyone have a pic of Galactus from the movie?

I had a dream a few nights ago about Galactus (the big storm thing up in the sky) coming down to Earth. I was Superman and I had to throw a glass bottle up at it. (Dreams that don't make sense :roll: )

Anyway, I really wanna see what this storm looks like as I imagine it being huge and evil looking, but can't find a pic anywhere. Rep to anyone who has one. :y:

God am I the only one who thought this sucked?

Galactus was a fucking cloud. Come on. The coolest part of the whole movie was in the teaser, in full, months ago. And Dr. Doom was still absolutly terrible. Nothing against McMahon as an actor, but he's just wrong for the part. He was better in this one, but he still seemed more like the sniveling weasal type rather than the imposing tyrant that Dr. Doom is supposed to be,

Also, I don't know, but it seemed like there was a whole lot more talking than action.

No. Well, maybe sucks is too strong a word, but it was definitely sub sub-par. Surfer was well done. Every time he wasn't on screen, I was pretty bored. I agree with you on Doom as well. McMahon is good, but totally the wrong actor for Doom.

Maybe it's the fact that I just don't like the 4. Mr. Fantastic is boring, and I don't buy him as a super genius even a little. I still can't get over how wrong Jessica Alba is for Sue Storm. Chris Evans works well with what he's given, but unfortunately he's given the same recycled crap all the time. Michael Chiklis is the best of them, but he's still a bit boring.

You know what I really hated? That General. The relationship between him and Reed was idiotically portrayed. And he's stupid enough to trust Dr. Doom. Come on.

As for Galactus, for what it was, it was well done. Effects looked nice and all. But come on. Just fucking show us him. They show the outline of his helmet like twice, and they can't even give us a glimpse of the actual entity? Come on.

The General's subplot was shoehorned in. As was a lot of the Doom subplot. Surder was great, but a little too cold. Remember, it's his human-like passions that both made him the Surfer and made him defy Galactus.

Galactus was awesome. I don't care that we didn't see him. He wasn't the main villain, he was a plot device.

I don't deny that the Galactus effects were nice looking. But why not show us him?

Also, lol at all the product placement. I expect a degree of it in a lot of movies, but Dodge seats in the Fantasticar? Fuck off.

Oh, and none fo the characters are well cast. I like Chikliss, but he really isn't good as Thing in my opinion, and the Thing part didn't take him into account.

Storm's perfect. He's shallow anyway.

Sue is a pair of tits.

And don't get me started on Mr Cardboard. But this IS a popcorn flick.

It felt like they didn't know what they wanted to do with the tone of the film. Johnny and Thing have always been semi-comedic foils to each other and the team, but it doesn't have to be the shallow chucklefest that it was.

Surfer was the major redeeming factor in this film. He was awesome. Looked good, sounded like a herald of destruction should, he was just well planned and executed.

Everything else...

Galactus was terrible. It's been said here before but I wanted in too, because wow, was I disappointed in Galactus (not to mention the ridiculously inexplicable final 'confrontation' between him/it and the Surfer). I was particularly bothered by one thing (minor spoilerage to follow). When they were in the forest, about to set up the beacon things to set off the pulse to knock Surfer off his board, Johnny hits Reed and there is a visible transfer of powers, but seconds later Johnny is using his flame power. They never resolved that power transfer.

Doom still wasn't Doom. Nothing against Julian McMahon, he just isn't right for it. And I, like KK, dislike the cast as the Fantastic Four. They seem ill-fitted. :-\ Dunno. Probably makes it a bit harder for me to 'get into it' or whatever.

Oh well. Third time's a charm, maybe?

Of course, the important part is that this is a plot vehicle for a SS movie.

Thoughts
Surfer was the man
Galactus was gay
I would give my nutsack to fornicate Jessica Alba
Mr Fantastic was a huge douchebag
Human Torch was kinda cool
Thing was alright
Doom didnt totally suck

Better than the first but that's not saying much butstill not better than the unreleased 1994 FF movie (whoch was a terrible movie in it's ownright) Alba has no business being Susan Storm, the blonde hair and what looks like CG blue eyes looks retarded. Ioan sucks as Mr Fantastic, McMahon is still a terrible Dr.Doom (Doom has been utterly neutered), I like Chiklis and Evans as Thing and Johhny tho.

Was I the only one who wanted to see Mr Fantastic murdered?

i wanted to see him and alba go at it and see him like use his powers on her
