The Fantastic Four trailer is out:

Average, I'd say.

Below average IMHO. After all these super hero movies they will need to pull something completely awesome off to make me watch it. It's getting really stupidAnd every new movie seems to go downhill.
The only good thing about the trailer was that McMahon was the bad guy. :D
-
Blame spiderman; that's why we're seeing all the comic book films.

Yeah, that was a nice surprise. I didn't know he'd be playing Dr. Doom.
But I think the movie will be good. They don't seem to be detracting too much, and most of the complaints I heard are nitpicks - like Thing's eyebrows and stuff like that. It'll be hard for it to match any of the X-Men or Spiderman movies, but I'm not with the "it'll suck" crowd.

i noticed they gave grimm a nose.

to be honest, my impression was that it looked quite dull. Y'know, if this movie was a colour, it'd be grey.
Plus the music for the 'action' bit of the trailer was ****ing awful.
-
Bah, I hate all of these superhero thingies. They all seem pretty much identical to me, and this one looks especially bland. But apart from the repeating screaming noise, the 'action' music was the only part I particularly liked.
-
Spidey 2 and the X-Men movies rocked, the Batmans were silly-fun, and the Supermans ranged from freakin awesome to mediocre. Aside from that... meh.
-
Batman Begins will rule the world.
BECAUSE I KNOW

You gotta be kidding, right? RIGHT?!
Besides virtually the worst CG graphics for a big-budget movie, the story wasn't exactly good either. It was a 'fun' movie that i would borrow from my friend but certainly not cinema grade movies.
-
I say Tiara is just extremely picky.
-
No, I would say that no one strives for anything other than big explosions and one liners anymore. The thinking seem to be "if you want story and character development, go see an art film. Otherwise, get ready for mindless CG action and a steady stream of cliches."
X-Men 2 was tolerable...barely. Any of the other ones (with the exclusion of Blade 1) are utter crap. Especially Daredevil, Punisher, the Hulk and Elektra (which looks especially awful, even in such company)
-
I enjoyed X-Men 2 and Spidey 2. Rest of you shush, it's just fun.
-
X-Men 2 was actually pretty good.. it did further the story - it told you about Wolverines past (granted, I've never been a fan of the X-Men cartoons or comics, but I did know a bit about the charachters). The CG work was well done but not necessarily OTT.
As for this - well props to them for featuring A Perfect Circle on the trailer score. Not sure how good it'll be though - as there was virtually no dialogue and the dialogue that did feature was a cheesy one liner. The rest of it was special effects. So perhaps we're in for another one to cater for the kids.
-
Okay, just from the picture in the background...
Ben looks scarred, not like he's made of living stone.
Reed looks like he's wearing a helmet that just happens to look like his hair.
Sue looks like she stuck her finger in a light socket.
Johnny is a blonde dammit!
More when it get's done DLing on this damn 56k.
-
Well, actually I enjoyed "Punisher". :nervous:
-
The point being on word "enjoyed". Who needs watertight plot etc when you can just sit down and enjoy.
-
Looks dumb, but passable.
-
pretty interesting this fantastic four movie could be good..or it could be bad
-
Congradulations--never woulda thought of that :p
-
HIG, you've done it again (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/images/icons/icon3.gif)

But there's no Galactus!?!?!!!
Ok, after having watched the trailer...meh.
What's with all the electricity that Victor's throwing around? His armor has many features but I don't remember it's primary armament being an electron field generator, I though it was the Doom Blasters? Also, the only person in Marvel that is more feared than Magneto is Doom, he is a megalomanical genius second only to Reed Richards with access to untold levels of technology and he's also a Sorcerer of no small talent, I saw none of this in that trailer.

Yeah, Punisher was quite good, but in my mind it wasn't a superhero movie.

No, it wasn't. That's probably the reason why it's one of few comic based movies I actually like. ;)
-
The Punisher has never been a hero of any kind. At best he's a man pushed too far who pushed back, but he should've stopped when he killed the buggers who killed his family. Somewhere along the line however, he started to like killing, whether he admits it or not he's as much a sadistic killer as the mafia folk he wipes out in every comic. The rest of the Heroes in NY need to put the thump down on him, with Cappy right at the front.

Bah, as a trailer it shows you only the best scenes, not the other bad ones, as usual :doubt:

What exactly would be the point of a trailer showing all the crappy scenes?
Anyway, I reckon it'll be passable at least, I'll probably go see it.
-
After I saw that the man playing the Punisher looked like...like a ballerina trying to act like a hitman, I didn't bother.
Go read the Marvel MAX* Punisher series (erm, PM me if you want to "get your hands on it"), THATS what the Punisher is supposed to be. Not some angsty...guy. My vocabulary is busted or something today, I can't seem to put together a cohesive sentence.
*(adult line of comic books)
-
*(adult as in extremely violent not Hentai I would assume? Although the idea of the Punisher using a tentacle demon to molest his targets before he caps them is kinda humorous.)
-
No, not Hentai in the least. But it is very adult. However I think it works perfectly, and the art style is also very appropriate.
AFAIK, all the Marvel MAX comics are done by the same writer/artist crew (Garth Ennis writing, I don't know who's drawing). They come in nice 6 comic story lines, which I also love. Basically, its all the Marvel badasses with the kiddy gloves taken off (Nick Fury for example).
I would reccomend it to anyone even remotely interested in comics. Granted, its not going to change your life or anything, but it is a nice alternative to spandex-clad do-gooders.

The problem is that the best scenes are usually a) the ones at the finale and b) when the big plot twists are revealed.
Or c) cut

What? Either you've forgotten the Tim Burton movies, either you have no tastes. The other Batman movies? What are you talking about, there was no other Batman movie :p
-
Well, I'll probably enjoy it. :)
Thing is, there are those who have read a lot of FF, and for them, the crew have features and voices and attitudes that can't be imitated. Marvel helped make the movie, and yet I see Ben Grimm and think 'Baked Earth, not Melted Mud Dammit!'.
That said, it'll probs be a good movie :)
-
jessical alba is hott, ill go see it...:nod:
-
When I think of Doc Doom, I think more along the line of "The Phantom" from LXG doing his best germanic accent, not Cole from Charmed. Also, it was revealed a while ago that Doom is indeed horribly scarred under his armor.
-
yes...like 50 years ago.
