Jesus, that first one was so friggin' bad.&nbsp; It's on HBO and I think I've seen roughly an hour of it because I can't ever stick with it more than 10 minutes at a time.

[booster11373]

As big of a comic book fan as I am, I never got into the FF. The first movie was so bad I watched a lot of it during fast forward. I though for sure the movie would bomb.

[phixion]

<p>justice did u get that from upcomingmovies.com? </p><p>heres the reason why i ask cuz back in the ronandfez.com days they had the cowbell of victory i think and who ever came up with the best website got the cow bell of victory, i still remember tasteless ginny giving ron sugarlinks.com and ronnies enjoyment of young asian girls cant say i blame him. anyway&nbsp; i think it was dumpy who gave him upcomingmovies.com..... 11-3 am good times</p>

[AKA]

<p>Loved the comic&nbsp;- still have those mentioned issues introducing Galactus and Silver Surfer (signed by Stan and Jack) - loved the John Byrne era - I am highly amused by the zombies currently - HATE THAT MOVIE MORE THAN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. I will be avoiding this sequel...maybe.</p><p><img src="http://toysinaction.nl/oscommerce/catalog/images/8508_image01.jpg" border="0" /></p>

[Coach]

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers redux?

[cougarjake13]

<p>never really got into the FF comics but i did see the movie and it wasnt that great</p><p>i have 2 questions,</p><p>1. do they all acquire their powers like they show in the movie, and why do they all get different powers ?</p><p>2. does the thing really get transformed back to normal and then voluntarily go back to being the thing as depicted in the movie ??</p>

<p>As a wee lad, two of my favorite comics were Daredevil and the FF.&nbsp; </p><p>i saw both movies on cable and wish I hadn't.&nbsp;</p>

[tbonesteak]

<p>FF was definitely my favorite comic growing up.&nbsp; The movie, unfortunately, stinks on ice.&nbsp; I tried watching it again on cable and it's really a lousy movie and I can't say I'm looking forward to a sequel.</p><p>Adding CGI Silver Surfer and Galactus will only make things worse.&nbsp; Although&nbsp;I always thought Keanu would make a great Silver Surfer.&nbsp; </p>

[JustJon]

I watched it this weekend on cable.&nbsp; The Roger Corman version was better.<br />

so they're gonna put this out&nbsp;a few&nbsp;weeks after spiderman 3 comes out ????

[King Imp]

<p>There isn't much to this trailer, but man does it look cool nonetheless. Watch it in HD if you can. </p><p><a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/fantasticfourriseofthesilversurfer/">http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/fantasticfourriseofthesilversurfer/</a>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Never read a comic book ever! But I have like the Spiderman movies and fantastic four was ok. I will se this as well but not crazy excited. It wouldnt matter to me if it comes out this summer, in 5 years or never.

[lleeder]

I tried watching the 1st one this weekend. It was bad, from Thing wanting to be normal to five seconds later turing back into the Thing and then Doom finding his mask so conviently. I never read the comic though maybe this happens in it. I always thought Silver Surfer was gay. Space comics never did it for me. I love Xmen, Batman, Superman anytime they were in space just never liked it.

[cougarjake13]

<p>maybe it just sucked b/c it was more about establishing the origins and characters and not much action</p><p>hopefully that will change in this one </p><p>as long as jessica alba is in it all will be good </p>

<p>You all know you're going to see it. It looks kinda kool. How bad could it be.</p><p>I love Dr. Doom. I just wish his voice was a little deeper.</p>

<p>How does the Thing wipe his ass?</p><p>Is&nbsp;his&nbsp;mule &amp; balls made of stone? It's always hard?</p>

<p>Wow - that looked a lot better than I expected!</p><p>I've been a Silver Surfer fan since I was a kid, so I am kind of stoked.&nbsp; At least these early shots look pretty good.&nbsp; He's no Golem, but not bad.</p>

<p>This is odd.<br /> </p><p>http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31303</p><div class="headline"> <h3>Silver Surfer's Got <em>Nards</em>!! </h3> </div> <!-- start main content --><!--<base href="http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31303/">--> <!-- begin content --> <h2> <p><a href="mailto:merrick@aintitcool.com">Merrick</a> here...<br /> <br /><br /> ...with what is certainly one of the strangest AICN posts ever (and that says quite a bit). </p> <p>Earlier this afternoon, a reader sent in an image highlighting what he <em>claimed</em> was the Silver Surfer's chromy nut sack. He said this screen grab came from the currently posted trailer for FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER. </p> <p>Initially, I had my doubts -- who wouldn't? It HAD to be fake. I mean, the notion of Surfer cruising around with his metallic junk swinging in the wind just didn't make a whole lot of sense. </p> <p>Finally, curiosity got the best of me (it wasn't the homo-erotic kind of curiosity...not that there's anything wrong with that), so I jumped to the QuickTime HD version of the trailer and started frame-by-framing through the scene in question. </p> <p>And, sure enough, there it was...the Silver Surfer's shiny package!</p> <img src="http://www.aintitcool.com/images2007/silvernards.jpg" border="0" /> <p>At first, no one believed me. But then I showed Harry -- and suddenly the potentially mad rantings of a crackpot reader with way too much Photoshop on his hands became post worthy. I then showed it to a close friend at another site, who was amazed that the story was so easily corroborated.</p> <p>You can see for yourself (you <em>know</em> you want to) <a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/fantasticfourriseofthesilversurfer/hd/" target="parent">HERE</a>! Shows up 'round 1:02-1:04 on the timecode -- it's when the Surfer is fly-surfing towards us in the first part of the tunnel sequence. </p> <p>Testicular attributes are not evident in the rest of the Silver Surfer sequences we've seen thus far, so I'm assuming this matter is akin to the infamous &quot;Jessica Rabbit has no panties&quot; frames in WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? I.e. something animators sneaked in (momentarily) just for kicks...and just to see if anyone would notice. If you're not familiar with what I'm talking about, <a href="http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/jessica.htm#add" target="parent">HERE'S MORE INFORMATION</a> (scroll down to the &quot;Additional Information&quot; header for some hot frame grabs...&quot;grabs&quot; seems like the wrong word in this context).</p> <p>All of this happened as Harry and I were debating an another e-mail, sent by a long time reader named BLooD-HuNTER. </p> <p>BLooD-HuNTER sent along some pictures of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 motorcycle <a href="http://www.defjam.com/site/artist_home.php?artist_id=308" target="parent">Ludacris</a> paid around $120,000 to customize. BLooD-HuNTER says no one's seen this motorcycle yet except for Ludacris, and the people who put it together for him. </p> <p>We were debating if this was &quot;cool news&quot; in the AICN sense...and then the balls happened...so I'm not sure a final determination was made about Ludacris' ride. But, in a reality where the Silver Surfer's stuff gets its own headline...why the hell not? </p> <p>See the motorcycle <a href="http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/624/ludazx14hp1.jpg" target="parent">HERE</a>, <a href="http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/5851/ludazx1401ia4.jpg" target="parent">HERE</a>, <a href="http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/1885/ludazx1402fa7.jpg" target="parent">HERE</a>, and <a href="http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/4794/ludazx1403lp2.jpg" target="parent">HERE</a>. </p> <p>I guess now we know what they mean by &quot;Rise&quot; of the Silver Surfer!? I'm sorry...but somebody had to say it.</p> <br /></h2><p>&nbsp;</p>

Apparently i heard DOom will aparantely will try to gain the power cosmic from the surfer, it could be either a common enemy movie where doom and the FF team up to stop galactus or just end with the galactus invasion

The reviews of this movie are not looking good.

Gah Lac Tus is a giant cloud voiced by Laurence Fishburne and Johnny Storm turns into the Super Skrull. I've read other, worse spoilers too. It does not bode well.

Fishburne is voicing the Surfer, not the cloud.

Oops. Forgot. Originally people said Gah Lac Tus then it was corrected a day later.

[ToLEEdo]

The first one just needed a better plot and more of a reason for Doom to hate the FF. This one has a totally different approach at the story. I liked the first one as a fun comic book movie, but I think this one will be exponentially better.
