Audiences reactions to FF2 teaser trailer!

[David33]

I think it would be cool if we posted here the reactions of the public when they saw the trailer at your theater.

 

[Spidey-Quad]

It was amazing, the SS was so... I can't put into words. The Torch was blazing, and the Thing... crying? Overall Ironman should rock!

 

[terry78]

The audience for this movie will be mostly families with kids, so you know the kids will love it.

Just got back from Night At the Museum, and saw the trailer.

WOW.


The theatre was only 60% full by time the Spider-Man 3 trailer passed and many latecomers were still spilling in when the FF2 clip--which came next--was shown. The vast majority of those present were teens, but there was a good mix of other adults, parents and some little children. The clip starts out with a shot of the Surfer zooming down into the earth's atmosphere. But it wasn't until the Marvel logo flashed across the screen, when a complete hush fell on the audience again.

From the moment we saw the wedding cake topper (with it's elongated 'Reed Richards' wrapping itself around its crystal bride) there was a stir in the audience. When the camera panned on the Four themselves that stir grew into subdued whispers; I heard several whisper "Fantastic Four", making it clear that folks definitely remember the actors and their roles even before the title card was shown.

Then it got quiet again. I wished I had never seen that Youtube.com clip.

The cinematography in this teaser was beautiful. Rich, vibrant colors and everyone looked good. The most improved? Without a doubt it's Benjamin. His suit has clearly been upgraded from that "burn unit look" from the first film, to a more traditional aesthetic--his hide has greater definition; his coloring is more of a tangerine orange--which looked great as a contrast against the "normal-looking" wedding guests at the ceremony.

The music? Perfect. Pulsating...urgent. Think along the lines of the aforementioned Spider-Man trailers. It melted seamlessly into the action sequences which arrested the attention of everyone in the joint. I loved the way the music melts down to a heart beat as Surfer morphs through a glass skyscraper. When he emerges, the construction materials around his exit ripple like water, and again the drowned music made that money shot even more poignant.

Speaking of Silver Surfer...um, yeah. Norrin Radd looks like an effing chome demigod on screen--absolutely amazing. I seriously believe all of these people whining about his eyes (of all things ) will hush up when they see him in movement. The chase through the Holland tunnel was awesome, and the point when he turned upside down and coldly stared Johnny down showed he was totally in control--and unconcerned about Johnny's little "pursuit." In just seconds, his facial expression gave me the feeling that he viewed Torch as nothing more than a pesky insect to be swatted away condescendingly. And when he grabbed Johnny by the throat the guy next to me said "Whoa...sick!" And dude wasn't the only one blown away, because by time the Silver Surfer had dragged Johnny with him to the heavens, latecommers--who had yet to even find a seat--had also stopped in their tracks in the fricking aisles to watch. The sequence was simply that good.

To be frank with you, I'm finding hard to believe that Tim Story has created this. It just....feels different. For those of you who have been on this board since the beginning, you'll recall I was one of Tim's biggest supporters the first go 'round, but was somewhat dissillusioned with much of what was done (especially the editing job). And despite set reports, etc., up until today it's been hard for me to get my excitement up for this sequel. However, I'd be lying if I didn't tell you all that I'm officially impressed and stoked now.

The "sitcom" feel from FF1? Gone. In its place? A distinct epic flavor--at least in this trailer. The action sequences and the overall framing had a sense of style--it had flair. And the tone of the entire clip is definitely grimier...edgy even. And that's a good thing. With the exception of Johnny's "But I just got this tux" wisecrack, there is no cheesiness to be found here--something that even the first film's trailers couldn't hide. This one was serious...darker.

When it was over, there was a lot of buzzing amongst the audience and not a few "schweets" mixed in too. It was by far, the most well-received trailer save the aforementioned Spider-Man 3 clip.

I for one am excited to see if they manage to pull a turn around with this one. The only film series I've seen do that is the X-Men movies. Where X1 was good, but X2 drastically improved upon some of the action and tonal flaws of the previous film. Hopefully, F42 will do the same, although I am just so distrustful of Fox overall -- Arad especially -- after X-Men 3.

The set visits were misleading.
The interviews were misleading.
The marketing was misleading.
The trailers were misleading -- and blew most of X3's good moments (as did the trailers for F4).
The screenwriter forums were misleading.
And even the post-DVD stuff was misleading.

Fox really just has lost all shame and I'm highly skeptical of anything coming out of that company anymore -- it's sad, in an attempt to bolster one property (X3), Fox literally ruined its credibility to effectively bolster another franchise that could be shaping up to be good. Reading both here and X-Men boards, a general feeling amongst fans towards Fox and Avi Arad is not a pleasent one -- it's inherenetly distrustful and almost, if they say one thing, we'll believe the opposite.

I just hope this works out for the fans because, well...Chris Evans if f-ing gorgeous, I've been falling ofr the F4 mythology, and the Silver Surfer just seems like such a cool cinematic concept.

sounds impressive. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
did the urfer "morphing" through stuff concern you at all? That's not something the SS does.

Actually, the Surfer has shown transmutation abilities on a few occassions. So this is not neccessarily so far-fetched. It's perhaps a different application of his powers -- but we're talking about a cosmic being here with access to a power source beyond anythign else discovered....

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Yes he does.

Norrin is a cosmic entity. Therefore, he's capable of manipulating both matter and energy as he sees fit. How else do you think he's able to survive crusing through the vacuum of cold space, whilst examining nebulae, stars and planets--and with such velocity at that?

I pray to God you´re right. Lord knows how much I´d love to wash the taste of the first from my mouth with a vastly superior sequel.

Yeah, after seeing the trailers for X3 I ended up believing it was going to live up to X2... But one can hope...

Maybe this movie will redeem the F4 after the last movie. The trailer sounds like it rocks!

BOTH my packed houses had the exact same reaction. I managed to duck in to another showing and see the teaser twice.

The Surfer is mostly a blur but the slo-mo of him as he emerges from the other side of the building is truly a show stopper and the perfect intro for the character and for the tone of the sequel. The amazing sequence that Lightning describes is simply beyond my wildest dreams. The Surfer phasing through his board to stand on it upside down as he looks to see Johnny chasing him made me grin from ear to ear both times I saw it.

This could be the best pure teaser trailer I've seen associated with any comic based film. Like Lightning stated, this short teaser drew as big of a buzz from the packed house as did the full length Spider-Man 3 trailer. An OUTSTANDING first step for the sequel!

 

[JAMAL]

Sounds perfect. Sounds like an issue come to life.
When will it debut on-line?

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

You'll see it before Wednesday.

great! thanks for the wonderful description.

 

[HoratioRome]

Yes he does.

Norrin is a cosmic entity. Therefore, he's capable of manipulating both matter and energy as he sees fit. How else do you think he's able to survive crusing through the vacuum of cold space, whilst examining nebulae, stars and planets--and with such velocity at that?

lol, please understand I'm not trying to make a big deal of this. As I said, based on your description I'm looking forward to seeing it myself.

However, I'm not sure it's fair to say "yes he does" in answer to the point that SS doesn't do that. The "cosmic explanation is not necessary because we could use that to explain anything. besides, the question wasn't could he do it but rather does he do it?. and even though I vaguely remember him phasing in some comics and therefore wholly concede that he may have done it the comics, It's still not fair to say "yes, he does".

even though he may have done it once or twice, and even though I agree he is capable of doing it, I hope you will agree that That is not how Surfer uses his powers, not how he flies in space, or on planets. Quite the contrary in fact, Surfer weaves and surfs past object like meteors, and buildings (making him do cool surfing effects). SS is not the vision. I was just asking if it looked out of place for the movie to make him do something he doesn't normally do.
that was my point.


no big deal mind you. not a deal breaker by any means,....just saying.
