I Have Faith That Tim Story Will Do It Right

[HANSOLO786]

I HAVE FAITH TIM STORY WILL MAKE FF2 BIGGER AND BETTER THAN #1 I TRUST HE WILL KEEP US FANS HAPPY AND HE WILL STAY AS CLOSE TO THE COMICS AS FOX WILL ALLOW HIM TO CAUSE LETS FACE IT FOX HAS TIM BY THE BALLS AND THEY WONT LET GO UNTIL THEY GET WHAT THEY WANT BUT I TRUST HE WILL FIGHT FOR IT AND I TRUST HE WILL MAKE DOOM EVILER WITH THE CAPE AND SS WILL LOOK GREAT AND IF HE DESIDES TO PUT GALACTUS IN #2 HE WILL MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE CLASSIC GALACTUS NO MODIFIED VERSIONS AND EVEN IF GALACTUS ISNT IN FF2 I TRUST HE WILL PUT HIM IN 3 AND AGAIN OUT DO HIMSELF WITH A BIGGER AND BETTER STORYLINE WITH MORE VILLIANS NUF SAID

With the origin out of the way, a great cast, a bigger budget and proven CGI, I have faith that FF2 will improve on FF to the same degree that X2 improved on X1.

No Worries.

 

[Fantastic-Boy]

Absolutelly yes!!!

 

[WTFimVENOM]

yeah me 2, but I hate the amount of people talking about how bad it will be

The skepticism is deserved, I think, but it's obvious some people have some problems that extend beyond their ability to discuss a movie.
Why it's so important to them that an FF movie fail, why it gives them pleasure to disparage and insult the fans and producers, I really have no idea. It doesn't surprise me but it's disappointing.
I'm hoping the "grown ups" (positive and negative on the movie) will participate on this forum more, and hopefully we won't have a repeat of last year's fanboyish nastiness.
The mods are pretty good these days about warning the real trolls and enforcing forum rules, so we can hope...

Well, some people are abviously going to be unreasonable given the DC vs Marvel thing and are going to try to stick a fork in FF. Hey I did not want SR to fail as that is bad for everyone but I am biased towards the FF so I find myself more critical of projects that are not my pets although I really find with movies I really do care for the DC properties much more than the comics, which are very well written these days however.

It can't be helped sometimes, there is that rivalry but the mods should try to keep it rational.

And one more thing, can the mods try to clean up all the foul language. IT IS TOTALLY UNECESSARY AND HAS BEGUN TO BUG ME. I know I am only one person but I think a lot more kids will be coming to these sites AND THE CRASS LANGUAGE IS BECOMING A DOWNER.

Anyway that is my two cents today.

REASONS TO BELIEVE IN TIM STORY

-He's said that it's going to be the definitive F4 film, a far more faithful rendering of our favorite family... (flipside of this in next section)

-Adding the 'Silver Surfer' to the line-up and putting Doug Jones in control of his chrome characteristics is a very 'geeky' and 'awesome' move on the part of... well, whoever was smart enough to do it. I just hope it's a full on motion capture performance... (flipside of this in next section)

-Everything has been established (thanks for the first movie) so we're out of the awkward 'getting-to-know-you' phase and into the 'hey, I know you, let's do something fun' phase.

-There was a very intense vocal/public reaction to Story's take on the material after fans saw the first film. Now he knows what he did wrong and what he did right. He may make changes at his disgression.

REASONS TO TURN YOUR BACK ON TIM STORY

-Has proven through the first film that he is no better than your standard music video director (who actually tend to end up being very skilled filmmakers when given their chance at a feature), with an exception when it comes to goofy humor. Has promised that the film will be the best one yet. I don't really think his 'word' means anything to me or any other fans at this point.

-He seems to be, and this is purely opinion/inference, a lackey of Fox. All of his decisions seem to be very cookie-cutter dry, uninspired, and have the words 'proven to be successful with key demographics' written all over them. The casting on the first film was incredibly uninspired, even extremely predictable... and not in the 'Christian Bale as Batman' way, which was more of a 'no-brainer' than a predictable choice. Proving this only takes one word... 'Alba'.

-Talks of how they are handling the Silver Surfer have gotten me worried. They brought in Doug Jones. Good choice for the surfer. Yet all the talk of what he's doing on the film seems to point at merely a guy who is giving the animators basic movements to begin the base animations/previsualizations for the character. If this is how the 'Jones Situation' pans out... You can consider me upset, but very unsurprised.

-The characters have no where to go really. Ben Grimm has lost his entire 'man inside a monster's body' arch in the end of the first film... and even if for some dumbass reason he decides he hates his body again, they have the plans for a proven working transformation machine to turn him right back into a human. There's really nowhere to take him besides the sad and depressing land of 'silly and supporting characterland'. That leaves either the 'Silver Surfer' with the main character-arch... or the other three members of the F4, all of which (besides Gruffudd, who even then doesn't really seem to care about the movies aside from his paycheck) aren't really capable of handling an emotional or engaging character arch for the entire film.

-As an addendum to the last post: The filmmakers painted themselves into a corner with the first film. I don't see how they'll be able to do anything besides suffer for it with the sequel.

-Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer. 'Nuff said.

----------------------------------------------------

So, in closing, there are things to be excited about with this F4 sequel and I would love nothing more for them to make one hell of a film that makes up for the sheer mediocrity of the first one.

I'm just not counting on it turning out to be anything more than a stupid and silly rendering of one of my favorite fictional families.

This appears to be a different thread with the same title...What's up with that?
Well, overall I think it's a thread title that's just going to attract problems.
So I'm aginnit after this here post.

And one more thing, can the mods try to clean up all the foul language. IT IS TOTALLY UNECESSARY AND HAS BEGUN TO BUG ME. I know I am only one person but I think a lot more kids will be coming to these sites AND THE CRASS LANGUAGE IS BECOMING A DOWNER.

You are not the only one.
Plenty of us are irritated by the gratuitous vulgarities that have been popping up lately.
Most of us seem to understand that this is and should be a "PG-13" environment. There's a lot of kids out there reading SHH.

I recently had to stop letting my kids accompany me to a local comic book shop because of the unending clubhouse language by the gamers, comic book customers and yes, even by the lame-brained store manager. Somewhat to his credit, this doofus acknowledged he needed to watch his mouth and he even cautioned the gamers while me and my kids were in there a few times. But it never really stopped, and I could never browse in peace waiting for the next vulgar outburst from the gaming table, or some variation of "Yeah, Wolverine kicked the <bleep> outta that m<bleeeep>."

To be honest, I often use language far worse than most of what I've seen on SHH...but I have enough cognitive forethought, if not plain self-control, to lay off the cussin' around the kids.
And there be kids here, y'all.

So please watch yer ******** mouths and take all that ***** to the ******** PMs and ******** private chats.
Would that be so ********** hard t'do?

I predict this won't make as much as the first did.
