Fantastic Four 2: Rise of The Surfer

I did several searches and haven't found anything but if I'm wrong we can ignore this one and use the old thread.

Is anyone stupid enough to see this movie? I know I am. In fact I'm making plans to go see it next week. Nobody will go with me which is unsuprising at best so I'm going by myself.
I actually enjoyed the first one (albeit on an ironic/kitsch level) so I can't imagine that this one will be much worse.
So, anyone willing to brave the unpleasentness that is a sequel to what is, I'm assuming, widely regarded as a really fucking awful-on-every-conceivable-level film?

Anyone?

Okay - I totally and completely loved the first one.  I thought it was a lot of fun and it did NOT take itself seriously which was refreshing for a change in the world of super-hero movies.  I hated all of the bad press it got because I thought it was unfounded.  The movie was FUN which is what a movie is supposed to be.  The only thing I didn't like about the first one was the actor playing Dr. Doom.  Instead of coming off as a scary psychopath, he came off as more of a pissed off executive bureaucrat, which was kind of boring.

My husband loved the first one too, and so we went to see FF2: Rise of the Silver Surfer last weekend.  IT WAS SO AWESOME.  So much better than the 1st, even for those of us who enjoyed the 1st.  Silver Surfer as a character was pretty cool, and Galactus was pretty damn scary.  And though the same actor was back as Dr. Doom, either the script or the direction improved, and he was a bit more of the scary psychopath.  It's not exactly in line with the original comic book storyline, but since the comics were written in the '60s and that storyline was pretty damn ridiculous, I'm thankful that they made it better for the movie.  I will not give any real spoilers here because I hate that crap, but I think that:

1 - If you hated the 1st one, you should still give this a try, if for nothing more than the cool chase scenes with Silver Surfer and the FF.

2 - If you liked the 1st one, you should DEFINTELY go see this movie right away because it kicked ass.

i never saw the first one but the silver surfer is one of my favorite comics and i might see this just because of that.

My husband and I were going to see it a couple of days ago but dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory took longer than we thought and we were too late so we just rented "Unknown"* instead. We are probably going to see it today as he got the day off. I think it will be good and I'm glad to hear some positive stuff about it on here.

*This movie kinda sucked. We were going tot the video store to get either Alpha Dog or Man of the Year but I saw the box for this and the story seemed potentially very good. That plus a stellar cast made me pick it over the other 2. It starts out promising but that quickly fades. There isn't much of a mystery to it at all and it winds up just being these 5 guys arguing throughout the movie. Ending was pretty lame too.

(Sorry for derailing this thread, back to the Silver Surfer we go...)

The first one was awesome, and the second one followed suit. But if your a fan of the comics; they messed up Galactus big time. He's a cloud in this one and not the awesome mighty giant he was in the comics. For all of you who don't know, this is Galactus.
