The next big Marvel Comics movie hits theaters on July 8. This time its Marvels' first family the Fantastic Four. FF has always been a big fan favorite and just like the X-Men movies, Marvel has pulled out the big guns to get this done right. So far none of the trailers have been disappointing and the costumes look great. Michael Chiklis, who plays the ever-lovin blue-eyed Thing looks cool, but we will have to see how the costume holds up for the whole movie and in the action sequences. Jessica Alba makes her 2nd comic movie appearance this year (starring in Sin City a few months back) and makes that FF uniform really fill out. This is going to be a big SFX/CGI driven movie, but hopefully they do take the time to develop the characters and not drown us all in special effects. One of the big drawing points of the comic was the interaction between the characters. The relation between Reed and Susan always seemed strained (especially when Namor was around, and Johnny and Ben where always at each others throats while always remaining the best friends. The best FF character has always been The Thing. Just his personality and his dilemma of a man being trapped in a mutated body, but still being the most "human" of the whole group. I can't wait to hear those 3 magic words' "It's Clobberin Time".

I've seen the trailer of the Fantastic Four and it seems to be a good movie to watch. Not sure if I'll got the chance to watch it though. :(
can't wait either!
are you serious. really . . . you're excited about the FF movie, directed by Tim Story? the guy that helmed barbershop and taxi?? you've got to be kidding me. and the thing looks like orange ass strucken with bad hemmoroids. jessica alba can't act for crap and Doom looks terrible. and why is he using Electro's power? have you read a fantastic four comic in recent years?
definitely looking forward to this one. Feel free to check out my movie review blog at http://reel2reel.blogspot.com
