why! do alot of people hate this movie?

i'm always hearing on youtube,superherohype, & imdb.com how much they hate this movie they never explain,so if you hated ff write why!

i liked it because of the cool effects,the actors, and because of dr.doom

& they say their going to hate ff2 too c'mon silver surfer that has to be cool

I'd say it's probably because of Doom's portrayal for the most part.

I'm one of those guys who wasn't all that impressed with FF4, and I saw it the first day it came out hoping for it to be better.

I found the story pretty darn predictable from the get go. I think it's because there is so many superhero movies their powers don't seem all that special (when compared to X-Men, Spiderman, Superman, etc, etc)...nothing in the movie really stood out for me...so technically they are Mutants right? I mean they got hit by a huge dose of electromagnetic and ultra violet radiation from a solar flare...kind of like what Magneto did to the senator in X-Men 1.

I thought the last fight with Dr Doom was too short, and the movie overall was too short for me. When I left the theatre I felt either I grew too old for superhero movies, or this movie just simply didn't appeal to me at all, and I chose the latter (because I loved most comic movies such as X-Men, V for Vendetta, Punisher, Batman Begins, etc). Of all the characters, I thought I'd like that Stretchy guy the most, but eventually I liked the Thing because out of all the characters, he had the most personality.

Spiderman, Superman, and Fantastic Four never really sparked my appreciation or admiration that much in terms of their movies. BUT, part 3 of Spiderman actually looks very good and I'm really like what I saw in FF4 2. It's a very bold move to add Silver Surfer into the mix! I look forward to watching that.

Oh and whats all this talk about a Director's Cut FF4? I heard a rumor that there was 40 minutes of FF4 that was cut from the theatrical release, if so, that could make a world of a difference in the movie experience.

It’s a weird time for on screen heroes.

Hollywood and the pimple on its ass that is my brethren in the critical community have become obsessed with making heroes gritty, realistic, human, and by extension much less heroic.

Batman is being shot with shaky-cams and put in real-life situations. James Bond has been turned into a grinning thug. No one’s interested in seeing someone who always gets things right. Bright, hopeful, and heroic, Superman Returns made just as much money as Batman Begins, but is continually labeled a failure as the press drools all over Batman.

Casino Royale had a weaker opening weekend than previous, more fantasy oriented Bond movies, but is still talked about as if it’s somehow more successful. Peter Parker makes billions peddling red and blue angst. If you think that’s all anyone wants, you’re walking around in a fantasy land.

Gritty, dark heroes are fine, but there’s nothing wrong with a little fun every now and then. Look no further than the success of the Fantastic Four for proof. Tim Story’s fun, brightly colored, cartoony superhero movie opened to a critical crushing and received nothing but a kick to the curb by press and pundits alike. Oh it’s not cool to like Fantastic Four, but audiences turned up anyway and had one helluva time.

Look, there’s room for both types of movies in the world. The anti-hero has been done to death, let’s give lighthearted fantasy a chance. Audiences are hungry for it; it’s time critics, nerds, and the rest caught up. They’ll get a chance when the Four returns for Rise of the Silver Surfer.

If anything, Rise of the Silver Surfer looks to be skewing even closer than ever to that cartoony edge. After all, they’re bringing in a bad guy who rides an interstellar surfboard. Despite his tortured origins, there’s just no way to make Silver Surfer gritty. Nor should they. That’s not what we’re looking for from Fantastic Four.Peter Parker can have his angst and Batman can revel in darkness. The Fantastic Four will ride around in a four person flying bumper-car and fight a space alien who travels the stars on a giant, mirrored surfboard. Heck yeah.

The only question you need to ask is whether or not Tim Story will be able to invent another reason to get Jessica Alba in her underwear. Let’s hope then answer to that is yes.
