Crap! I had hoped that FF2 would have corrected some of the glaring errors that were featured in FF1 but after watching FF2 I see pretty much the same thing. (After looking at the box office performance of FF2 apparently there are many people that agree with me.) Sure the Silver Surfer is cool. Sure the threat from Galactus is huge but beyond that this is just as clumsy and ill conceived as the first film. The actors that portray the FF in particular continue to disappoint. The whole lot of them seem awkward and stiff. Dr. Doom is a pale joke of what he should be and I refuse to accept that Sue Storm is so selfish and short sighted as to require Reed to suspend any of his World saving experiments in favor of their wedding ceremony. The upside of FF2 is that Stan Lee is humorously turned away when he tries to attend Reed and Sue's wedding. Bravo on that point.  I believe I can place FF2 on the list of my favorite Super Hero movies just above FF1 and just below Ghost Rider. That should tell you what I really think of the movie. ;D |

I skipped both films. I would've preferred a standalone Silver Surfer movie, because (no offense to FF fans) the Surfer is a much more interesting character to me than all the Fantastic Four put together.
Also sorry to hear they botched Dr. Doom's translation to the big screen. That's a shame for such a sinister villain, because visually he was made for the movies. Think Darth Vader.

Well the Surfer movie is in the works. You ought to be entertained by that film if it meets it's potential that it. I believe it will be handled by a different creative team.

That's nice to know! (That there will be a new Surfer movie and that it's a different creative team doing it.)  |

That's a very brief but effective description, CZ. :-)

I liked it enough in the theatre, but I can't help but notice I didn't run out and buy the dvd. OTOH, I got the Spiderman 3 dvd the day it came out.

I missed it at the theater (on purpose) and ended up buying the dvd. And then shortly thereafter wished I hadn't had to buy it but I just like having as many superhero movies as possible so I'm stuck with it. Hopefully FF will get it's reboot sometime in the future when movie goers begin to forget how disappointing the FF films were. |

a lot of it is that the casting sucks so hard. i dont care how popular jessica alba is, shes not a good fit for the part. neither is the guy who plays reed.
