I think John and his friends "enjoy" disliking certain films." Strange thing to say considering I'm one of the only people on the planet who somewhat defended the first FF movie. And no, I don't enjoy "disliking" certain types of films. I call it like I see it. Hey Chris,

And no, I don’t enjoy “disliking” certain types of films. I call it like I see it.

I'd lay out my points and debate it, but really they're just opposite of what John said. I really enjoyed the movie, and yes, I am a longtime reader of the FF (including the original Lee/Kirby line). It is different from the comic in some ways, but I enjoyed it. As far as no action, etc... I just disagree. I also knew what John's review would say before I came to the site and read it. I'm seeing an obvious pattern emerge on this site. I think John and his friends "enjoy" disliking certain films. I know they'll disagree, but it's my opinion after being on this site for 2 years. I no longer respect the opinions of The Movie Blog, though I do still enjoy the podcast for the humor. I totally disagree with every comment John has made about this movie.

I knew the whole story about the surfer and Galactus and never imagined that they would do a movie based on this story to be honest with you, this is my point with galactus if they did him in the way he was done in the comics then the only ones who get a kick out of it would have been the comic geeks(which I consider myself to be)but I am pleased and satisfied in the way he is portrayed cause I have formed my own opinion about it, I see it like he was in the middle of the cloud he just never spoke cause they are propably saving him for a silver surfer spinoff which I am sure they will make. I guess you can say i am bias in my opinion cause Im black and tim story is black and Im gonna support him cause he is (hate me if you want that is my nature) I find it quite true that this movie is not for people who are reading and love the modern FF,but for those who want something light and that they can take anyone to this movie and have a good time. The FF should not be compared to the X-men,spiderman,hulk,and so on cause the FF are praised characters in thier world after they defeat Doom they dont get chased by the military,looked down upon by society or have false accusations made up about them in the newspapers they are looked upon as being in the spotlight and the first to be called upon on a scene. oh yeah you can expect to see another one cause micheal chiklis is signed on for another one but I dont think Tim story will direct though. a black mans opinion

Rise of the Silver Surfer is the sleeper hit for the summer. The movie is not ever going to compete with the Spidey series or the Superman series because the Fantastic fouer comic book never had the kind of readership that Spidey and Superman had. But the movie still rocks andd I guarantee that the studio has okayed a third installment Kidsmoviestowatch.com Kids-movies-to-watch.blogspot.com Hey I just got back from seeing Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer and this movie really delivers!!!

If you are proven right, that means that nobody gives a hoot about the FF; but rather The Silver Surfer and Namor. (Indeed, I think Tim Story mentioned Black Panther at one time?) Anyway, Namor could have his own picture (and given history, deserves a solo pic) ...but if there is an FF3, I'm voting for: Skrulls, Puppet Master or High Evolutionary. Note: since FOX puts out FF and X-Men, and Ralph Winter co-produced both...I would not mind a crossover of a Human Torch/Iceman or a TWO IN ONE where Thing meets..whoever. @Movie Replicas.

I kind of like it. I had my five year old daughter and wife with me when watching this. It was their fathers day gift to me. I wasn't expecting academy award winning acting - I was expecting a fun summer movie and that is exactly what I got. I don’t know why people hated this movie. I kind of like it.

Galactus isn't in there... he IS the cloud." John, you need to see it again and watch more closely. Galactus is indeed inside the cloud. I won't give any plot details away here for people that haven't seen it, but we went back a second time to make sure we saw what we thought we saw and he is indeed there. It when SS flies into the heart of the cloud. “Also, at a later point in the film we see inside the cloud. Galactus isn’t in there… he IS the cloud.”
