Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer - BETTER Than You REMEMBER

[@ElSorprendentePurpLes]

Fun fact: Andre's character in this movie was originally meant to be Nick Fury (The scene where Reed stands up to the military guy is taken from the Ultimate comics and that guy is Fury) and they had plans to bring Black Panther for the third movie. Just imagine how different the MCU would've been if that happened

[@zew1414]

I really thought they deserved a third go! And if we saw Black Panther, maybe we would have seen a real interpretation of Namor too? But I forget who had Namors rights back then.

The actor for Reed is probably one of my favorite comic castings ever since he really looks like him AND has the character to back it up. Reed is among the smartest men on earth, but he’s the most dense. Love it. Great video, cheers.

[@dominiquejones3805]

True talk, he nailed it

[@GonzoTehGreat]

I have mixed feelings regarding Ioan Gruffudd's performance as Reed Richards. I think the actor did his best with what he was given to work with, but the writers did a poor job of portraying both Richard's genius and his charisma. In these films he comes across as a harmless nerd, which makes his leadership of the team (and their ability to take on villains like Victor Von Doom) much less believable. Unfortunately, at the time, Hollywood typically portrayed intellect as nerdism, even though this wasn't the case in the comics. Singer's X-men films were one of the first to disabuse audiences of such assumptions.

[@anon2752]

Now we're gonna get pedro pascal to play reed, barf.

[@callmev3531]

@@GonzoTehGreat, There are instances where he does demonstrate some degree of authority, in how he handles Johnny's immaturity and Ben bickering with Johnny (he's like the team's dad while Sue is it's mom), or how he asserts himself to Hager.

I love this movie only because I'm a massive Silver Surfer fan. I know the plot is horrible, Galactus was ruined for a generation of fans and Dooms entire role makes zero sense but it was great to see Norrin finally get a live action adaptation.

I think I'm one of the handful of people that actually liked this version of Galactus. A massive cosmic swarm of destruction makes so much more sense than a giant due in a purple pope hat drinking a planet's milkshake like Daniel-Day Lewis.

[@ManicFiction]

@@atraxisdarkstar If done right, Galactus can desgined to look powerful and terrifying, like in some of the Marvel games. Also the "human" look, according to comics anyway, is simply because one race will see Galactus as if he looked similar to theirs. Galactus looks human because that is what humans view him as. Im not saying that you shouldnt have an opinion or anything, I was just saying that Galactus can look cool if done right.

[@vimbizzles]

@@atraxisdarkstar The limits of suspension of disbelief are kind of funny among comic book fans. How is it any easier to accept a death cloud than a cosmic giant wearing chrome tights?

[@SpectrumStorms]

You can thank Tom Rothman, the former CEO of Fox for cloud Galactus. The same man responsible for: - Sewing Deadpool's mouth shut in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. - Blocking all attempts to greenlight a Deadpool movie (Remember that leaked test footage where Wade says "Hi, Tom!"? That's our guy.) - Greenlighting Fant4stic. - Moving the first X-Men movie's release date up 5 months AND slashing its budget in half. - Slashing the budget of 2005's Elektra and ordering a complete rewrite. - Rushing X3 into production to compete with Superman Returns. - Forcing Emily Blunt to be in Gulliver's Travels instead of Iron Man 2 (as Black Widow). There's more (including the fact that he thought Titanic & Avatar would bomb), but those are the big ones.

Amen my man, amen.

[@DavidMartinez-ce3lp]

Would've been cool if Galactus was shrouded in "Cosmic dust", but then we actually see him or a giant hand reaching out when Johnny is helping stabilize Silver surfer at the end. Shrouding him in mystery. Showing only a glimpse. Something like that.

Honestly, the biggest complaint people had with this movie was how Galactus got reducted to a cloud of DUST... which I could understand. Since, in such a "earthed" story, a GIANT MAN WITH A HELMET would look kinda stupid. So, making him more like a Cosmic Horror works better. In context.

Honestly i really like how they kinda nerfed the Silver Surfer. In the comics he's like, God level, but making him a little less powerful yet still a great threat is perfect. I also just like the idea of him having to stay on the board to keep his powers. It works with him being a surfer and all

I was already a full grown college graduate who had grown up on Fantastic Four comics and the cartoon on Fox when I saw this movie in the theater with my dad, who was himself a Fantastic Four fan as a child and owned Fantastic Four #1 (unfortunately my grandmother got rid of his comics before I was born). My dad had been dealing with cancer for over a year at this point and was becoming sicker. He somehow mustered enough strength to leave the house and see this movie with me, and it was the last movie he ever saw in theater and the last time he left the house except for the day he went to the hospital and passed away. I felt bad that he didn't live long enough to see any of the movies that are part of the MCU, but now, as a father myself, I look back on this movie and realize how great it was. I saw it was on TV one day and watched it with my son. It's a movie that tends to be on the cheesy side but totally fits the tone of the Fantastic Four, something that kids can watch without getting too much into mature themes. I don't really look forward to the Fantastic Four's introduction to the MCU because I can't imagine anyone else but Michael Chiklis playing Ben Grimm. Your video didn't touch on Stan Lee's cameo. In this movie, he introduces himself as Stan Lee, something he doesn't do in any other Marvel movie cameo, while trying to attend Reed and Sue's wedding, but gets turned away. This bit was taken straight out of the comics, where Stan Lee and Jack Kirby get turned away from attending Reed and Sue's wedding.

The fatal flaw of these movies is Doom. Julian Mcmahon is actually pretty good casting, but they're petrified of having him act anything like actual comic book Doom. He acts more like a cross between Norman Osborn and Lex Luthor. Doom is as closely linked to the F4 as Magneto is to the X-Men. He's practically FAMILY. You gotta get him right and neither of these movies do. Hopefully the MCU will finally give us a faithful movie Doom.
