Hobbies: Baseball, Swimming, Sports, Movies, Comics, etc.

Who Is Your Fave Fantastic Four Character(s): Jonny Storm is my favorite, although in the movies Jessica Alba is amazing

How Long Have You Been Reading Fantastic Four Comics? I've read some of the trades. Not many of the current issues, I have some of the older issues from the 80's "What if's" though.

What Are Your Biggest Concerns About The Fantastic Four Sequel:
I hope it takes the dangers at stake a little more seriously tan FANTASTIC FOUR did. I'd really like to see Doom more in the shadows in a throne in Latveria, thinking he is all powerful, running the lives of the Fantastic Four since we last saw them, only to realize his power is nothing compared to what the herald of Galactus- Silver Surfer comes to tell us.

What You Look Forward To Seeing In This Sequel:I really cannot wait to see the effects of Silver Surfer, and not to mention again- ALBA.

Who Is Your Fave Fantastic Four Character(s): By and Far, I'd have to say Ben/Thing. Growing up disabled, I know what it was like to kind of be an outcast.

How Long Have You Been Reading Fantastic Four Comics? I'd say around 1992 or so?

What Are Your Biggest Concerns About The Fantastic Four Sequel: I think my biggest worry will be the studio trying to make it TOO "user friendly" for lack of a better term. Sacrificing too much, or something too big, just to make the movie more accessible to lukewarm fans.

What You Look Forward To Seeing In This Sequel: I think my biggest desire is just to see more of the same with the family. I'm also looking forward to not seeing Alba.

[Malus]

The longer than 2 hr running time doesn't seem to be hurting POTCead Man's Chest.Yesterday 01:08 PM

For my family it did... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I took my kids to see it for their first drive-in experience. Despite that added excitement, by the end of the first 80 minutes or so they were asking when it was going to be over. My little boy (age 5) was super-hyped to see it, and still runs around playing "Captain Jack," but unlike every other kid-friendly movie in memory (FF, Cars, Superman Returns, Batman Begins, etc) he hasn't asked once to see it again.
Fortunately for Disney, both my kids are interested to see how Captain Jack survives for the next film.

Are you kidding, I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS MOVIE I COULDN'T SEE STRAIGHT. It was my must see, if I don't see anything else movie for Summer 2006......and yes after a 2.30 hype for the 3rd movie.....I am sufficiently hyped for #3 in 2007....

All like Lightning said AND I wanna see Galactus or ATLEAST a hint at him

How Long Have You Been Reading Fantastic Four Comics? Read the first arc of Ultimate F4 by Bendis/Millar,have been reading Ultimate F4 since Millar came on at #21(check out his run if you haven't,kickass stuff)

What Are Your Biggest Concerns About The Fantastic Four Sequel:I enjoyed the first,it was everything I expected.No social commentary or deep underlying messages,just a nice origin/superhero tale.All I want is for the filmmakers to explore their relationships more and show them as a real family.
Doom has to be ultra-dangerous now that he's transformed.

What You Look Forward To Seeing In This Sequel:More team action,Doom,the Surfer,and a possible Galactus

Occupation: Archivist/Historian

Hobbies: History (military or otherwise), reading, music, cinema, collecting film memorabilia, and running Doug Jones' official site when I have a moment or two to spare

Who Is Your Fave Fantastic Four Character(s): The Thing.

How Long Have You Been Reading Fantastic Four Comics? Read 'em when I was a Young 'Un, but now re-reading them with relish.

What Are Your Biggest Concerns About The Fantastic Four Sequel: That the studios decide the film has to be bigger, noisier and full of so much CG that it detracts from anything worthwhile in the rest of the film. I want F4 FAMILY and a decent plot.

What You Look Forward To Seeing In This Sequel: I'd be lying if I said it didn't matter if Doug wasn't playing The Surfer - there is nothing I would like more, because I think he'll be bloody brilliant. But other than that, I just want to see a decently scripted film that at least bears a passing resemblance to the comics, and still has that warmth and comradship they embody, despite everything that happens to them.

How Long Have You Been Reading Fantastic Four Comics? Starting reading around issue 129. Read many back issues, haven't read as many recent.

What Are Your Biggest Concerns About The Fantastic Four Sequel: Too much of a comedy

[_Qwerty_]

SSH Code Name: _Qwerty_, but you can just call me Qwerty.

Sex: Male

Country: UK

Hobbies: Cartooning, comics, films

Who Is Your Fave Fantastic Four Character(s):The Thing, Doctor Doom

How Long Have You Been Reading Fantastic Four Comics?: I don't buy many comics. The only FF comic I have read is Ultimate Fantastic Four, but I have knowledge of the FF characters.

What Are Your Biggest Concerns About The Fantastic Four Sequel: That it will be like the first movie, a mediocre film that didn't bother trying to be a great movie, but instead a profitable franchise.

What You Look Forward To Seeing In This Sequel: When the original FF was in production Tim Story claimed how much of a fan he is and said that he fought to get the film as close to the comics as possible. Hopefully with the success of the first film Story has more say on how to do things, and hopefully he is as big a fan as he claims.

Who Is Your Fave Fantastic Four Character(s): On the team...Really it varies between Ben & Reed, depending on the writing... but overall...DOOM

How Long Have You Been Reading Fantastic Four Comics? Since I was 9... so thirty years...every month

What Are Your Biggest Concerns About The Fantastic Four Sequel: Will it SUCK as bad as the first (and not simply by being untrue to characterization. The whole project was flawed...character development, plot, set-up, suspension of disbelief, dialog, climax...it was just CRAP)

What You Look Forward To Seeing In This Sequel: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Hobbies: Comics, movies, playing and listening to music, and finding ways to combine the three

Who Is Your Fave Fantastic Four Character(s):The Thing, with Reed being a close second. I never fit in when I was younger, so I understand Ben's pain he feels, but yet at the same time the feeling of friendship and family that makes up the Fantastic Four. And Reed because the dude's too smart for his own good.

How Long Have You Been Reading Fantastic Four Comics? Since I could read. Even before then I would gawk at the art.

What Are Your Biggest Concerns About The Fantastic Four Sequel:
That they won't take it seriously and again try to reinvent the wheel, particually as they did with Doom.

What You Look Forward To Seeing In This Sequel: Special Effects, Silver Surfer, and hopefully ARMORED MONARCH DOOM

The Silver Surfer and Galactus being handled wrong and looking corny on the big screen.

How Long Have You Been Reading Fantastic Four Comics? Since my dad bought me my first FF to keep me quiet on our trip to Disney World (1976).

What Are Your Biggest Concerns About The Fantastic Four Sequel: None. I typically take these movies for what they are..entertainment. I don't have time to worry if they follow every little detail, it's just cool to finally see my favorite comic in the movies.

What You Look Forward To Seeing In This Sequel: Everything! Silver Surfer and the addition of Andre Braugher who happens to be a GREAT actor. If you don't believe me, watch any episode of Homicide: Life on the Streets.
