CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM FOR TIM STORY, WRITERS ETC..
Hey guys!
Firstly, I hope that everyone enjoyed the film. It's gotten really crazy around here since it came out, but I am hoping that is for good reasons.
This isn't
Fantastic Four 3 specific, but I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread that Tim and the others could check out to get a more concise list of things people liked and disliked about this movie, and what they would like to see in the next one. I know that Tim is going to be busy with
The Losers so I thought it would be nice to make it so that he doesn't have to wade through this crazy sea of threads lol
If you can take a few moments of your time to answer the following questions, I would really appreciate it.
Funny, I was just about to make a thread on this...good thing i looked back. But seriously, it'd be really cool if the mods could sticky this...I think its really important because Tim himself in a SHH article says he checks the SHH boards frequently to get constructive criticism for the F4 movies
1) What did you like about this movie?
First off congrats to Tim, the movie was amazing. I loved that he still kept the family dynamics there and that family dynamics and action were equally important. I LOVED the silver surfer, he was crazy
The little things made him cool...like when he phased through stuff, or phased out of his board while flying.
The four used their powers much more which was great...I liked how they use their powers for everyday life (Susan turning her blemishes invisible, Reed stretching his arms out to get books and other tools, etc)
The action scenes were a much bigger improvement from the first also. Btw, I loved Super Doctor doom and how he killed General Hager. The smaller roles in the film were good as well like General Hager, Frankie, and Alicia Masters (I liked her charecter a lot much more this time).
Oh and I absolutely LOVED Stan Lee's cameo...that was my favorite one ever. And I liked Sue and Johnny's brief mention of their father.
2) What did you dislike about this movie?
I didn't really like the wedding scene at the end, it was kind of weird.
I also didn't like the Silver Surfer showing sue Galactus destroying a planet through his belly...It didn't look as bad as I thought it would but it still reminds me of the teletubies...I think a flashback or telepathic projection to sue would have sufficed.
I wish Dr.Doom was more arrogant but again Super Doom made up for this, for me at least.
3) What would you like to see in future films?
I want to see Dr.Doom again, he improved a lot in the second but I hope hes more of that arrogant SOB we all know and love. More of the four around the world, the second one really did this...which is great. The four using their powers. I'd like Alicia to have the same amount of screen time as she did in the second.
The PG rating was fine, it didn't effect the film one bit for me...it felt like a PG-13 to be honest but for the third it'd be cool if there can be a longer running time....about 2 hours. The 1.5 hour long FF2 wasn't too bad, pacing was great but an extra half hour to develop the charecters would be nice and it doesn't hurt the film.
I want to see more great action sequences. I also would like to see the four face problems again...I liked the dilemmas that arose when Reed and Sue were planning to split or when Susan temporarily passed away.
I'd like to see galactus come back but if he doesnt I hope the third has better and badder villains.
Good job Tim Story, you've improved a lot and made this an enjoyable F4 film. The F4 have a lot of great adventures to tell and Im confident that you'll make an even better job in FF3.
Keep the family aspect alive and use really cool action...that pretty much it, I loved the film
