Fantastic Four 2: Rise of The Surfer

<< < (3/7) > >>

Thy Dungeonman:
He may have been a cloud, but near the end of the movie, you can see a faint outline of what I assume is comic book Galactus's head in the cloud. Or maybe I was just seeing things.

Mikagon:
I think you were just seeing things. That motivates me to go see it again to see if you really were or not.

Blue Kitty:
I was sad about Galactus, after they showed the cloud I was hoping he was in it, but sadly that was not to be, though I did see an outline of his head.  Then again, I think it would be harder to explain a giant man in pink and blue devouring planets then a cloud of smoke traveling through space.

I thought it was actually good, a hell of a lot better then the first one in my opinion, though there are some fairly obvious reasons for that

philosopherqueen:
Just got home from watching it. Twas good. Would recommend.

I'm going to have to disagree with you here - I don't think the difference was a mess-up at all.  The Galactus of the comics was fine for comic format.  But in a movie, I don't think he would have been a very good villain at all - he would have looked cheesy and inconsequential.  The Galactus of the movie wasn't just a cloud; it was a sentient storm-like creature 3 times the size of Earth, who shoved his stormy tendrils down into these holes Silver Surfer had made to go down to the hot magma core of the Earth, to drain all the heat and life from the planet.  I thought it was an excellent re-invention for a movie version.  It was intimidating and huge and effective, in my opinion.

Exactly what I was going to say only you said it much better.

...

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.

I sort of agree with you on this one too. Though I'm quite partial to Julian McMahon. I remember first seeing him on Another World, a soap my mom used to watch and being quite impressed, particularly for a soap. Then he was on Charmed and I was blown away. He was so good in fact that he was the first and only villain on a "villain-of-the-week" type show to whom they gave not only a recurring role, but a major one at that... he played the leader of all evil AND the love-interest of Allyssa Milano's character. Then he got a starring role as the suave, egoistical, yet loveable plastic surgeon on Nip/Tuck. And I've always thought he should play James Bond.

I still think he played Dr. Doom well too. But I agree that he was better in the second one, most likely due to poor direction in the first one.

Jimmy the Squid:
Ok yeah. I'm going to see this on wednesday after I renew my L's. (Read: Learner's Permit for anyone who doesn't know). I can't wait to see this mainly because I anticipate a movie that will be pretty fun to watch even if it lacks in other areas.
