Yes but was it good?

I liked it but was it good...? Hmmmm. The Surfer was awesome and I was entertained...but was it good....? It was way better than Spider Man 3. I will say that - but that was garbage.:p

Ok. I will go out on a limb and say ......

wait for it.....

wait for it......

It wasn't half bad.:D

No. Actually I forgot to say that I thought that it was much better than the first one which I thought was a bit of a turkey.

I saw it with my 10 y/o today and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It didn't seem to last forever as most of the movies I've seen lately do, and I was left with the "I got my moneys worth" feeling. Overall I'd give it a 8/10 for the genre that it is.

I'm glad you said that; it gives me hope for this one. I thought the first one was boring as hell, but I always thought it had the potential for a good sequel.

Now I am at a quandry. I thought Spiderman 3 was decent (a bit like two movies put together) and see the previews for the Fantastic Four and think "this is going to be stupid". So I wonder if since I liked spiderman will I then Hate or Love this Surfer dude? :eek:

Looks like a renter to me. No need chancing it. My risk taking days are over.

Well I grew up on FF and absolutely loved the whole Silver Surfer storyline so I was familiar with the back story. That may have increased my enjoyment but even my roommate liked it and she is not familiar with FF. She's more of a Green Lantern Girl.

She and I both agreed Spiderman 3 was HORRIBLE. A waste of celluloid.

Turkey is a perfect description of the first on.

I cook, clean, very handy around the house and, living with 5 other females for the last few years, take verbal abuse very well. On the down side I do have fleas and not completely house broken.

It was a great movie with lots of good special affects and eye candy that brings out the children in all of us, And since I grew up reading FF I know that part 3 will bring out some other missing villans.

I always thought the silver surfer was a good guy?

I haven't seen it yet, but I believe he is. The ads seem a little misleading, but maybe I'm wrong and they've put a different spin on the character. That being said... does Galactus make an appearance in the movie. He is a "world-eater" after all. And they keep alluding to any planet being destroyed within "X" amount of days of Silver Surfer arriving (who is always there to defend against Galactus).

Am I providing spoilers even though I have yet to see the movie?:D

venomclan

Galactus is like over 100 ft. tall when at full power, 30ft. tall when weak. I hope they diden't put him in the movie, he can take out the whole planet...

I hope I get a chance to see it. Call me a big kid, but I love Marvel comic movies.

All I have to say is Morpheus shouldn't be the sound of Silver Surfer. Neo would be much better suited for a guy on a surf board.

There do seem to be more leghumpers around here lately.

At least Darla has pepper spray. She should be able to keep some of them at bay at the next Polkfest. :D

Im glad to hear this one is pretty good. I wanted to see this last weekend but got outvoted by my wife who wanted to see Oceans 13. This weekend we're going to see FF by Gawd!

Took the family last night to see it at a DLP showing. Never a big comic book fan so the story is always new when I watch these. Good effects and a decent storyline.

Youre just getting old and grouchy Ron! "Jessica Alba" and "looks bad" shouldnt even be in the same sentance. Shame on you!

I just saw it tonight...I thought it was better than the first, the effects and the Surfer were pretty damn good, and the storyline was actually somewhat coherent...Yes, Jessica Alba is smokin' hot as well....

Yep. First half dragged, the comradery forced, the jokes/humor were boring. Second half action and f/x were good and the silver surfer was great.

Better than the first movie.

What the hell happened to Alba, she looked like death warmed over in this.

She looks better with a tan (Into the Blue).
