I have to say, it looks pretty cool to me.

Richard Reed looks awfully young...

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

That's my one complaint. He's supposed to be about 10 years older than Sue, fifteen or so ahead of Johnny.

That and they changed Doom's origin completely.

I'm guessing they wanted to make the relationship between Reed and Sue a little less May/December.

Also, Jessica Alba as a blonde??
(I'm a fan, but...)

*sigh* Let the nitpicking begin.

I was pleasently suprised about how good it looks. My only real complaint is Thing looks a little cheesey. Otherwise it looks quite good.

Too bad we'll never see the Roger Corman Fantastic Four

Nit...

"Reed Richards". :)

He actually wasn't supposed to be all that old in the original; it's just that he had those prematurely-white sideburns.

Actually...

[seawasp]

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.

What?! Are you INSANE?

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.

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.

[psychoticdreams.livejournal.com]

I'd second that.

[twfarlan.livejournal.com]

Umm... Reed Richards.

You mean it was worse than the Justice League TV pilot?

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.

They'll be begging to spill their guts.

Shows how much attention I was paying...

Like we're not already in enough trouble with the Geneva Convention...

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.

Fun, fun, fun!

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...

if you squint a bit

and turn off the tv

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.
