Malus said:I'm not worried over whether they can "do" the Silver Surfer & Galactus. They most certainly can do them justice with today's effects without breaking the bank. We've basically seen a Surfer prototype on the Capri Sun commercials and in Terminator 2. Galactus' ship - we've seen that level of effect all the way back to 2001 in 1969. As for Galactus himself , there's bound to be some degree of reinterpretation...What's important to convey is his incomprehensible power. I mean if he steps off his ship with a big "G" on his belt as he did in the original comic, audiences will howl with laughter.
My concern is more for how they handle the actual story, specifically establishing that the FF are now experienced superheroes. A one minute montage-early in the film- of the FF in numerous battles with an assortment of bad guys would go far in establishing this.
I agree. The effects shouldn't be too tough (Other than making sure Galactus doesn't come off as cheesey), but the real challenge is that such a story needs to be EPIC, so all of the other elements have to be scaled up.
And certainly the characters we saw in the last movie simply aren't up to it yet.
On one hand, this is exactly what the FF need to make them really become the FF we know, but, if done halfway, it could have some real problems.
It's a big challeng and a big risk. If done right, it could result in us really seeing the Fanatastic Four as we've been hoping.
I just hope the studio is up to the task.
