fantastic four

I saw a new trailer and it looks beter. So maybe it wont be bad (When I first saw Spiderman trailer I thought a similar thing and it was great so what do I know)

Eh, trailers are no way to judge a movie. I refused to see Fight Club, even after a friend told me too, and I ended up loving the movie.

Bah, wholesale judgement of things before we've seen them is our bag, baby!

Ironically, I'm almost exactly the opposite with regards to Fight Club... thought it looked nifty in the trailer, and now think it's one of the most overrated movies ever.

Bolen, I really don't get how we're supposed to show you a movie won't suck when none of us have seen it yet. It may very well be terrible, who knows?

 

[Captain Tagon]

Yeah, after all the hype I wasn't really looking forward to Fantastic Four.

Then I saw the new trailer that was playing before RotS and I decided it could be a really fun film ala Hellboy, Underworld, and the like.

Just a quick note on the Hulk:

I thought it was the worst Marvel movie (yes, worse than Daredevil and Elektra). The "comic book panel" never synched with me, the "Vogue! Strike a pose!" death of Glenn Talbot, the hulk-poodle, Nick Nolte's completely dreadful performance, the whole Bruce "Krenzler" thing...

I quite liked Eric Bana as Banner, and the effects of Hulk, and Jenniffer Connelly is always easy on the eyes. But that does not a good movie make.

Thanks for your attention. Back to FF now...

What does that have to do with quality? Using this reasoning Titanic is the best movie ever, and I rather doubt many people would even try to make such a claim.

Titanic is the best movie of its time. It is simply not my favorite.

I have seen movies that I like and enjoy that does not reflect well in the box office revenue.

I do agree with the reasoning for Hulk film's failure at the box office. Mainstream audience wanted a superhero flick, but since most of them rarely read the comic, they were probably disappointed, or already know this is not the kind of superhero flick they want to see.

 

[Hand of Evil]

I have a feeling it is going to come out this way:

Ben Grimm: good
Dr Doom: good
Johnny Storm: not good
Reed Richards: not good
Sue Storm: not good
Story: weak
Plot: Lame
Effects: good
Dialog: weak​

 

[bolen]

Hand I would disagree with you on one point. How can you think you will dislike Jessica Alba in a tight suit? Not Possible

 

[Umbran]

Hey! Hulk is a good movie, it's just not a super-hero movie. It's a monster movie, like it should be.

No, the Hulk really isn't a "monster movie". it has far too much existentialist angst for that.

The Hulk's Probem, as a movie, is that it could not decide whether it wanted to be monster/action/hero flick, or a drama. It tried to ber both, and so did a middling-poor job of both. Too slow for action, too effectsy for drama.

Well, the trailer didn't have me excited, but didn't convince me it was going to be a bomb, either.

Perhaps I am getting jaded by seeing my childhood comic books transformed into CGI-live action. 10 years ago, the trailer would have excited me.
