Personally, I like Dr. Doom in this film better than in the more recent films. I can't stand how the new films don't give him a sinister voice, he's kind of a pansy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979914565647698188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066888134509330432.post-74675842114571402382009-06-14T07:27:18.707-04:002009-06-14T07:27:18.707-04:00Alex did some fun low budget films but even with t...Alex did some fun low budget films but even with the spray-painted temples, he looks a tad too young to be Reed but don't Jay and Rebecca look more like the comics' version of Johnny and Sue than the ones from the OTHER FF movies?Bookstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797445163866512849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066888134509330432.post-48502507472529209662009-06-14T01:30:34.397-04:002009-06-14T01:30:34.397-04:00I am sooo not curious about this Fantastic Four mo...I am <em>sooo</em> not curious about this Fantastic Four movie.<br /><br />On the other hand, unlike El Postino I enjoyed the Spirit movie with Sam Jones. (The Jones film was about as good as it <em>could</em> be, in context. The Miller film was, on the other hand, a willful <em>hijacking</em>.)Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066888134509330432.post-58117549365029184322009-06-14T01:26:57.617-04:002009-06-14T01:26:57.617-04:00I saw the Sam Jones Spirit film only about a year ...I saw the Sam Jones Spirit film only about a year ago and I have to say, a bit campy BUT 100 times better than the Frank Miller catastrophe. I rented that recently and WANTED badly to give it a chance, but honestly I didn't make it half way before I shut it off.<br /><br />This feeble F4 film is pretty bad. Thing and Doom don't look too terrible for a low budget but Reed and Johnny look more like they should be a couple...Not that theres anything wrong with that...(To quote Seinfeld)Wayne Skiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055087845994744569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066888134509330432.post-59189958195358110852009-06-13T22:30:49.579-04:002009-06-13T22:30:49.579-04:00I haven't seen this Fantastic Four movie, but ...I haven't seen this Fantastic Four movie, but have seen the original Spirit movie with Sam Jones and thought that was mighty crappy. It ended up having one showing on network TV. I haven't seen the Frank Miller Spirit, having been warned off by your review.<br /><br />Most superhero movies don't work for me for various reasons, but the ones I think really worked are the original 1978 Superman with Chris Reeve, Robert Downey's Iron Man, and the first Spider-Man movie.Postinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853607848670921106noreply@blogger.com
