Rise of the Silver Surfer SILVER SURFER/ Lawrence Fishburne, Doug Jones Discussion Thread

[Stringer]

Dammit is this Ultimate X-men or Fantastic Four? Im sick of them adding all of these characters when they didnt even develop the characters in the first movie:

 

[highguard]

I'm not debating whether or not you enjoyed the film. You can enjoy Plan 9 from Outerspace- that doesn't make it a good film.

As for it being a strong character driven film? No. Just- NO.

This is what I mean by the the type of negativity on these boards. They can't even seem to have any respect for some other opposing opinion.

Dragon the poster liked the movie and that offended you?

It is clear to anybody that has read the early comic books that for the most part Reed, Ben and Johnny's characters were spot on. The only anomaly was Sue in that she was portrayed more to the modern version of Sue Storm.

Your comments mean you are either just ignorant of the early comic book or you are just being a troll.

What are you some sort of megalamaniac where you think that your opinion is the one that counts and everyone must agree with you.

No doubt you have not figured out why so many people love the movie.

Think about it.

Man I can't believe the nonsense sometimes.

I wasn't very happy with the movie... it was okay, but disappointing in some reas too... but I really liked the script in the "Making of" book. And there are tons of photos which prove that all those deleted scenes WERE shot. So I'm hoping they'll give us a director's cut next year that will REALLY make me feel satisfied.

Back to the topic at hand: You know, she says her character is involved in another love triangle... but she never says it's another guy-guy-girl triangle. Maybe this time it'll be Sue trying to keep REED'S affections. They could bring in that old colleague of his from early scientist days, the girl who's still pining after him, um... I forget her name? She had an issue of Marvel Knights 4 recently where she came back to hit on Reed some more?

You ever see pictures of Alba around kids, she looks like she would be a great mother.

If you say so.

I think you raise a valid point. We all have our own opinions. The problem with these boards is that people seem to get upset if someone doesn't feel EXACTLY the same way they do about a certain topic. I have no problem with a person disliking the FF movie. But, that doesn't mean that it wasn't an enjoyable movie for someone else.

Based on the success at the box office, the DVD sales, and Fox's willingness to green light a sequel, I think it's safe to say a lot of people out there liked the movie. I'm one of them, and I'm eagerly looking forward to the sequel.

How FF fans can bash X3 is really beyond me... the first was just painfully bad.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

LMAO,i didn't mean it like that i meant she may be meaning that there is a new man in her life that takes her attention away from Reed

Thank you!! You've given me hope.

So, you protest being offended by someone else's opinion by calling me names. Very clever.

So many people didn't love the movie. It made money, but it wasn't a blockbuster, and Fox and Marvel are going to have to bust their buts to get the same kind of audience numbers the second time, after the novelty and newness have worn off.

And pal- I own the early issues, and apparently know them alot better than you. For instance- I don't recall Doom being an organic-armored Norman Osborn rip-off.

And it took Ben Grimm some time to come to terms with his condition. He was after a few weeks sporting custom-made Nikes and partying with his blind chick. And Johnny was a hothead- but never- NEVER the cruel egotistical jerk portrayed in that film- and mind you- in the comics, Johnny was a teenager. Johnny would never have made a laughing stock of Ben in front of a bunch of TV reporters especially after the horrible experience Ben had just been through on the bridge. And, from Day One Reed was a leader. not an idiot who's every invention failed and who couldn't guide his team.

Have I missed anyone? Oh yes. Sue. More modern you say? The girl who was used as a sex object distraction? The girl who was under Doom's thumb, and somehow mistook that for love? The girl who was a nag to Reed and her brother? Yes. That was a more modern up-to-date woman.

Like I said. I don't give a rats-ass what entertains you. But don't tell me that unimaginative waste of time and effort was a good movie.

 

[Hunter Rider]

But it's ok for you to tell him it was a bad one ?

 

[Dragon]

But it's ok for you to tell him it was a bad one ?

Yes. Considering that the first poster's defense of the film was that it was "entertaining". One doesn't make the other true. And- again- since he comes at me for being intolerant of someone else's opinion by attacking me, which I didn't do- yes. I can tell him it was a bad film.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Yes.

No that just makes you a hypocrite

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

. . . and if Franlkin is the "love interest" I wonder if Galactus will take the place of Annihilus and have a variation of the Cosmic control rod.

That could be cool!

Franklin needs to cut loose and whoop on Galactus.

 

[Dragon]

And his attack on me makes him an idiot- and a hypocrite.

 

[Darthphere]

HR, he isnt a hypocrite, hes a whiny fanboy.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Attack ? i never saw you as the sensitive type but regardless the fact you think you decide what is a good or bad movie is wrong

 

[Dragon]

He believes he can decide what a good or bad film is- and so do you- this is why you render an opinion at all.

But I sure as hell didn't hurl any personal insults at anyone. It's nice to see that people here haven't grown up in the past year.

 

[Hunter Rider]

No,i know what i enjoy,i don't have the arrogance to think my taste translates to what is a good or bad movie

 

[Dragon]

No,i know what i enjoy,i don't have the arrogance to think my taste translates to what is a good or bad movie

Now who's being a hypocrite? You're telling me wecan't find any statements made by you that suggests whether movies are good or not?

 

[Hunter Rider]

You can find a ton on what i thought made a movie enjoyable to me yes but i don't go around presuming that my view is a definitve judge on whether a movie is good or not

 

[YJ1]

Cool! But another love triangle! With who??

Great Find!!

James Marsden has been cast as her love interest. He's J. Jonah Jamison's son and is helping Sue raise Franklin. So, her new power involves fending off a horny Man-Wolf.

Anyone else think that the Silver Surfer will no longer be an alien? I can hear many fanboy's heads exploding now.

 

[Dragon]

Now you're back pedaling. When you render your opinion you're giving YOUR stance on the subject. What's supposed to be the difference?

I don't tell other ppl that my view is definitive

No, that's my job. Next time just ask.

For the OFFICIAL record ... Fantastic Four was indeed a GOOD movie. Nuff Said.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Maybe she goes les with Alicia.

God Dang it, Blades! Now im gonna have THAT mental picture in my head the rest of the night, lol.
