    ... this movie could only possibly look worse if Paul W.S. Anderson had written and directed.

    Jessica Alba may be a fine piece of ass, but she is totally wrong for this film, as is the rest of the cast.

    I almost wish this Hollywood comic book phase was over so they'd stop fucking with my childhood heros.

      Feh, speak no ill of Lady Jessica! Her lovely ass may embrace any motion picture that she chooses. She could have been cast as Winston Churchill and I'd still pay to see it.

      Unfortunately in this movie she plays Invisible Woman so you'll be paying to not see it.

      Don't know who the Fantastic Four are?!?!
      I can only guess that you live in a country/region where for some odd reason Marvel didn't ship as many F.F. comics as thier other lines.
      Kinda wierd idea though considering it was a pretty important title. It was the FF the got Marvel back into the Super Hero bussiness in the early 60's, they had gone to monster/horror type stuff when the superhero comics became on of the 'satan worshiping/mind controll/reason teenagers behave like teenagers' things of thier time (much (A)D&D of the 80's or rock and roll, etc.)
      To give you a clue to the FF's influence I suggest you look at both Darth Vaders outfit and Dr. Victor Dooms outfit, then consider Dr. Doom predates Darth Vader by over a decade.

    The Hulk was such a smash hit. This is going to be 4 times better.

    Nothing at all like a weaker version of The Incredibles.

  6. Soooo. by Lord_Dweomer · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Sooo....which do we think is the more likely scenario:

    Scenario A) People who want to see the trailer will force themselves to go see Elektra, which they had no interest in before, only because Fox is so desperate to make some money on Elektra that they would go so far as to try to deny the power of the internet.

    Scenario B) There will be a torrent posted here in 3...2...1...Who knows, we might end up with a torrent to the entire movie here before it has even been completed. Thus is the power of the internet.

    Between Kingpin being black, and Sue Storm being Latina, I can only assume Galactus will be played by a jew. I suggest Al Franken. He rocks.

    (Yes, I am joking... I'm usually PC, but I'm just looking for an excuse to peddle the idea of Al Franken as Galactus.)

    I'm not as worried about the purity of the story as I am about the quality. I.e. I try not to grumble too much over 3 separate girlfriends being amalgamated into Mary Jane for Spiderman.

    I am even willing to forgive letting her survive being tossed off a very high bridge (Spidy lost a girlfriend that way in the comic)

    Those things are sometimes necessary to fit a long story into 2 hours or to promote the "new" paradigm of monogamy among heroes. (Seen a recent James Bond flick?)

    In Spiderman's case they managed to still pull it off. The Hulk was another matter.

    One thing I do like about the Marvel Superheroes movies is that they usually stock them with actors who look the part. No 5'10" 160 lb guys playing 6'4" 240 lb Vigilantes. That's where the problems began in the Batman movies. They went far and deep, but they started there :). So Wolverine was a little thin and too tall. He was still believable. Hugh Jackman made up for the physical differences by _acting_ the part. If only more movie stars would do that :)

    Set up a bookmark (e.g. "Give me my button back!") with the content: "javascript:void(document.oncontextmenu=null)". You can click this to unbork such shenanigans.
