the Thing looks VERY much like he did in the very beginning of the FF comics. The blocky-rocky look didn't come until considerably later.
If *looks* determine how good it is, it will be good. I will still reserve judgment until I see the movie. "The Phantom Menace" looked good in initial previews.
While the overall look is correct the suit looks a little too Power Rangers for me. Not that this would stop me from seeing the movie. Just a comment on the choice of style.
I saw pieces of that. (you can find a few online) It was as bad as, or even worse than (hard though that is to believe) the Captain America flick which occasionally, for reasons known only to SATAN, is shown on TV. It made the '70s Spider-Man series look positively good by comparison. It made Highlander 2 worth watching, if Highlander 2 had ever actually existed.
Ooo! I know how we can get information out of suspected terrorists! Tie them down and make them watch the Corman Fantastic Four, the Captain America movie, and Dolph Lungren's Punisher.
By comparison, Lundgren's Punisher was a model of moviemaking excellence. Really. Compared to Corman's FF, or that execrable "Captain America" movie, "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" (Lundgren again) is a towering achievement of cinema to rival Casablanca, Jackson's "Lord of the Rings", and Citizen Kane all rolled into one.
I saw the He-Man movie at a con, and sort of enjoyed it. I think the important thing about that film was that everyone involved realized they were in a kvie based on a Saturday morning cartoon, and invoked the proper level of camp as a result.
I've been waiting for that to show up. Parts of it were filmed right beside my building. I had to pass fake subway entrances and busted up cars on my afternoon errands. :) Even have the pics to prove it. Now I just have to figure out how to post them. ;)
When is New York not New York? When it's actually VANCOUVER! :D
Except when it's somewhere in Australia...parts of lundgrens Punisher were filmed in Australia, proof of this was the "CES" sign in one scene (the CES was the Commonwealth Employment Service, a Govt dept.)
And an episode of Mission Impossible, supposed to be London, filmed in Brisbane. A subtropical city *can* look like London...
