If your a Fantastic Four fan I highly suggest checking out the comic "Ultimate Fantastic Four" its a great book with good writing and not that many issues in.

Aside from that I *hope* this is a good movie, but well... I don't really have alot of hope.

It looks like it might be interesting. But, to tell you the truth, I think Jessica Alba looked better with black hair. As a blonde, she looks ... weird.

Brief threadjack related to Alba. Amazon.com made a boo-boo, hehe. To buy the complete first season of Dark Angel on 6 DVDs costs $29.99 brand new. The complete second season is the same price. That's $59.98, right? But right below the price for each DVD set is this:

I wonder how many schmucks clicked on the $74.98 price to buy both, hehe.
[/end threadjack]

[glockjs]

was it just me or were the incredibles a rip off of the fantastic four?

[Doramius]

It was just you. Clearly they made fun of nearly every SuperHero you could think of. They also totally ripped on them wearing capes. Great movie, and I'm definitely looking forward to F-4.

Hello,

I don't know - I think I'll stick with Xmen.

Brief segeway/threadjack. Earlier, I mentioned that Amazon.com boo-boo in pricing. Well, I also mentioned it to Amazon.com in a consumer comment ... figuring they'd realign the price for both Dark Angel DVD sets. Well (sigh), they realigned the price of the 2nd Season DVD set. Apparently, the $29.99 price was the real error. Damn, wish I'd kept my mouth shut.
[/end threadjack]

Still, I think Jessica Alba looks weird as a blonde in F4. Her jet-black hair in Dark Angel was more aluring.

[BJ_M]

i can live with it

[Doramius]

Is it just me or is that pose she's doing a turn on?

[AlecWest]

Is it just me or is that pose she's doing a turn on?

Actually, nothing Jessica Alba could do would make her unsexy. She's one hot babe. I was just observing (IMHO) that she looks "weird" as a blonde.

[Ironballs]

F4 will be awesome, or I'll eat my shoe

[yoda313]

F4 will be awesome, or I'll eat my shoe

Hello,



Would you like barbeque sauce with that???

Kevin

[Ironballs]

Not a fan then Yoda?

[yoda313]

Not a fan then Yoda?

Hello,

No not from the comic books. Though I wasn't a XMEN fan but saw the first movie because Patrick Stewart was in it. I was fully impressed and saw both xmen and have the dvds.

I might go see it....

Kevin

[Ironballs]

I didn't think much of the X-Men films. They were OK, but then I wasn't a fan of the comics either.

Personally, I'm waiting the webslinger to come back...

[AlecWest]

Personally, I'm waiting the webslinger to come back...

I was hoping to see a "Silver Surfer" film. I heard that one was being planned a few years ago, using the stunt services of a French man who did "sky surfing" demonstrations ... until one day when his chute didn't open.

some info for you:

Avi Arad on the Silver Surfer Movie

Marvel Studios' Avi Arad told SFX Magazine new details on a proposed Silver Surfer movie...

Asked whether Galactus might appear in a Fantastic Four sequel, Arad said "Galactus is going to be in the Silver Surfer movie, which we're starting our journey towards."

But he said that there may be some franchise cross-pollination. "First we want to do the origin of the Silver Surfer and the Galactus story. But because it's the same studio, one day you'll probably have our version of Alien Vs. Predator - only a much, much better version."

I've always wanted to see a few comic books made into movies and it seems like they are going that way. Thor, The Avengers, and Iron Man. I was a huge fan of those when I was a kid. Especially Iron Man. Its too bad they waited to long because I always envisioned Tom Selleck playing Tony Stark. But he's too old now lol. Tony Starks grandpa maybe :P
