I also hope they show Dooms genuis (technology) and not go overboard on the "doom punches-hero punches back" part.
The Game: 'Magic' Still Has Fantastic Moves
May 02, 2005
Earvin "Magic" Johnson used to be part of a fantastic five with the Los Angeles Lakers. Now he takes on the Fantastic Four in an NBA-20th Century Fox effort promoting the movie and the playoffs.
An integrated campaign, via Fox and NBA Entertainment, breaks this week anchored by a TV spot in which Johnson goes one-on-one with each of the four lead players: Michael Chiklis (Ben Grimm/The Thing), Jessica Alba (Susan Storm/The Invisible Woman), Ioan Gruffudd (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic) and Chris Evans (Johnny Story/The Human Torch). Magic dons his Lakers' uniform and is the super star he was during his multi-championship playing days. Each of the Fantastic Four use their super powers, via special effects, to try to shut Magic down: The Human Torch tries to scorch him, The Invisible Woman disappears, etc. Ultimately, Chiklis utters the NBA tag, "I love this game." The spot will run through the playoffs on TNT, ABC, ESPN and NBA-TV.

Saw this today with my son. We both agreed it sucked. It was just a precursor to Fantastic Four 2, which the end left no doubt is going to be made. Better to rent it than pay to see it now.

I hear they signed on for a total of 3 movies. I was a little apprehensive after seeing the trailers, looked like it might have stronger special effects than actual story.
I will still probably see it just not in a hurry.

I kinda felt the same way when I heard Jessica Alba was going to get some speaking parts in the movie. She's one of those classic "better seen not heard" types IMO.
I haven't seen the movie, but her lines in the trailer were just terrible and those alone made me not want to see it.
Besides, Batman Begins, Spiderman 2, and Xmen 2 really rose the bar IMO for superhero movies. I knew this one wouldn't be up to par.

If you paid $7.50 to see THAT movie, YOU should be the one to get whipped!!!!
My wife and I enjoyed this movie a lot. It wasn't Gandhi..... just good comic book fun. I look forward to the sequel(s) FX were really good, they captured the constant mini-war between Ben and Johnny quite well and Doom was appropriately creepy.
I started reading this comic back in '61 when it started and it's always been my favorite.
I enjoyed it that the critics panned it, yet it did over $100 million in the first 2 weeks.

It was good, but to my surprise there wasn't a lot of action in this. It took them almost the entire movie to figure out their powers. Then their only real fight scene is the climactic scene against Doom. Mr. Fanstastic didn't really show his powers much. You're better off seeing the Incredibles if you want to see how it should have been done.
I just watched it. I thought it was pretty entertaining, I wasn’t expecting oscar material. My 6 year-old thought it was awesome. Whatever happened to the nurse though? One minute Johnny Storm said he was going to marry her and then you never see her again.

I think that relationship went down in flames, even though he's still hot for her.Bada0Bing said:

Decent. Not entirely the waste of time I had heard it was. The sequel should be better.
After watching ten minutes of this, I cancelled my HBO.
I'm thinking No. They saw "superhero movie" and said, "I'm IN! How could I go wrong?"

i'm thinking it was more like this: HOW much money are you gonna pay me to be in this steaming pile of crap? In!
That works too!
