nice find, like this trailer more then the us version those couple of added shots made it even more exciting, can't wait to see this movie. Tim and company might have made things right with this one. This is the first time I can actualy see a bit larger brow on the thing and for me that helps a lot
good question..
there is only one look and thats Kirby's and my young nephew who has enjoyed reading the old comics I've given him wasn't happy with the look. So I think it's a matter of exposure.

I would say the thing we saw wasn't so much a blending of looks but more of a what will the public buy into. Thinking like that is always a mistake, that short changes the imagination of the viewer.
I agree about the movement and from what I've seen they have tried to fix that, and I can honestly say I see a slightly larger brow and that makes me happy, that tells me they know they missed the mark by being to conservative and have listened to the fans and made adjustments and for that I give them credit.
And Michael was great he brought what no brow could bring and that heart
Thats all true I would'nt disagree with any of that, where I think they missed the mark was they miscaculated the pool of viewers for this movie. I don't think they realized the pool of older viewers like myself, the baby boomers (we're talking large numbers here) who grew up and loved this comic, we've been waiting a long time for this to be made and in our minds eye we new what the Thing should look like, and some times the studio just gets it wrong and they missed the mark, if they hadn't they wouldn't be trying to improve him. If they had made a movie aimed at that crowd the rest would have followed, we're the ones taking our kids to this movie and we would have done it over and over again if they had hit the mark.
while I also respect your opinion well never know if you and others would have enjoyed the movie I'm talking about, it's hard to judge a jewel thats never been created
. Your your right on mark with the problems and weekness's of the first movie the cgi, cinematography and editing lets hope they got it right this time
Yeah i know exactly. It would have pleased the hardcore fanboys and but it probably wouldn't have done so well at the BO and the studio wouldn't wanna make any more movies and the end of the franchise. Is that what people want just one movie and not a franchise?

I'm getting a little tired of this fanboy label people like to use to excuse our disatisfaction of weak product. Our disapointment isn't becuase we're "fanboys" it's because we can see the forest amongts the trees.

As a long time reader of this comic (in my opinion) no later version of this comic has ever had the impact on it's readers as the 60's version did. Thats not becuase the newer stories aren't good and I'm sure there are many of you who enjoy them. But with the flood of titles and over saturation of like titles the impact on our culture is very small.
Fact is the FF in the 60's was huge they were the greatest comic of it's time done by the best artist of our time, huge at the college level. Almost every story teller or artist in the busness will tell you how they owe a debt or were influenced by it.
So when I speek of magic I mean capturing the flavor, spirit and impact the title had in it's time. I challenge any of you to go back start around issue 45 and read thru issue 75 there you'll find the wonder and heart of the group called the Fantastic Four. This was Stan Lee and Jack Kirby at there greatest as a team. There has never been a run of creativity to match it since. You might even put on the best of 60's rock to play in the background as you read them ha ha.
That's what all us FANBOYS! as you like to call us were looking for and hoping for in the first movie, if they had found that magic believe there would have been sequels probably more then we're going to get now.
As it is we're lucking to be getting a sequel out of the first movie, yes it did well but it could have done much better and that shows in the amount they're spending, not much more then the first compared to the jumps in spending in the spiderman movies. Of course we're talking fox here and not sony ha ha.
I'm afried some of you will never get what I'm talking about but thats cool!
but just magine this title in the hands of a Peter Jackson, now that would have been a movie
well said... I would agree the quality is as good if not better today with many titles. I was a big fan of John Brynes version of the FF. And your right about the impact video games has had on comics. Happy to say video games hasn't changed my love for the old stories and art as I play ultimate alliance on my xbox 360 lol. I guess you can teach and old dog a new trick lol take that society ha ha
well sure if you can't think of a smarter way to put it
The brow is what we associate with the Thing, it is his trademark. To us that is what makes him distinctive. Without it he looks funny because that is not the look we are familar with.
That is all it is Albafan. We want to be reminded of the spirit of those childhood years, to recapture the thrill of picking up a new issue. To many of us we want to be transported back to that time in our lives.
Removing the brow breaks the spell somewhat. As an FF newbie you don't feel the disconnect because you don't have those familiar memories.
You should have been there mam, those were the stuff of dreams.
