3. Doom doesn't even have a Latverian accent.

Well, that's just silly. There's no such thing as a Latverian accent for him to have. Latveria's not a real place.

Shut up! You're lying! That's not true!!

*covers ears* LATVERIA IS REAL!!! LATVERIA IS REAL!!! LATVERIA IS REAL!!!

Err... yes, of course. Just like Genosha.

You got that right! I just think its a sad coarsening of the source material. But from what I understand most mainstream comics are largely T & A fests now anyway

T&A fests *now?!?!?!*

Unless you consider everything from 1980-2005 to be NOW, I heartily disagree with that statement. They have been T&A fests for decades. If you're surprised by that, Im sorry.

Also, T&A only tells half the story. They're also about big pecs and big err... packages on the guys.

And since I was old enough to notice anyway (back in the 80's- I never knew I went to high school "now" but time is relative) comic costumes have been tight enough to basically be nudity.

I can understand not *condoning* this trend. But to be shocked by a comic movie representing beautiful people scantily clad seems a little unrealistic.

As a footnote I first saw nudity in a marvel comic in the 70's. But then, Im not insulted by a depiction of a beautiful human body.

Was it Betty Brant? (Incredible Hulk)

BTW... I gave it a 6. I was mildly entertaining cheese. The reason it warrants a better than average score is that I really thought they got the characters of the FF right. Every one of those acting choices was spot-on to me.

For those who thought Sue was not smart enough and/or too sexy... Namor hasnt been chasing her for 4 decades trying to make her Queen of Atlantis for her college resume

Was it Betty Brant? (Incredible Hulk)

Nope. Colleen Wing in Daughters of the Dragon from the long lamented (by me) Deadly Fists of Kung Fu.

Back in the 70's Marvel experimented with B&W magazine sized books aimed at adults, sold in drug stores as opposed to on comic racks. Other magazine lines were Savage Sword of Conan (which had a LOT of naked women), Vampirella and Marvel Spotlight.

All great reading. Really cool offbeat stories.

I really enjoyed the movie. The actors all had their characters spot on. Ioan Gruffudd in partucular was absolutely perfect as Reed Richards. Though I have to agree that there was something just sort of lame about Doom. He lacked any of the gravitas that someone like Doom needs.

Normally, I'm not the sort to drool over actresses. Perhaps it was the low cut dresses, but Jessica Alba was stunning. I had to keep mopping the drool off my chin. She was so beautiful it was somewhat distracting.

Much as I would have wished otherwise, there actually wasn't any nudity in the movie. Lots of suggested nudity, like some of her clothing floating as it was being taken off, but nothing was actually shown that wouldn't be seen if she was wearing a bikini.

SPOILERS
[sblock]
Johnny Quick was well done.
The Thing was well done, except he went back into the machine too easily to reclaim his Thing form.
Sue Storm worked ok.
Mr. Fantastic worked ok ... except it was never clear how the original miscalculation was made. That should have been clarified in the movie ... Did Dr. Doom mess up the figures, did Reed mess up, or were they both just wrong? And both being just plain wrong seems unlikely.
Dr. Doom worked out ok, although the combination of the metal body, the scarred face, and the metal mask was probably overkill. I would have gone with either the metal body or the scarred face and metal mask. Both seemed to not make sense.
Also, the part about Dr. Doom's problem being a disease didn't make any sense. He had the same sort of mutation as the Fantastic Four had.

7. Guilt-free experience, that didn't resut in any actual pain or prolonged excitement. Besides, a [b}Fantastic Four 2[/b] has been greenlit.

I wonder how much the movie made from product/logo placement.
