Fantastic Four II: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Okay, another thread to get stoked for the upcoming release.
When Fantastic Four came out, all I could hope for was the film appearance of the Silver Surfer. I have been rewarded. Norrin Radd, Herald of Galactus, arrives this Fourth of July Weekend! This guy was probably one of my all time favorite comic book hero/antihero, and for good reason. His comics read like true sci fi, and his interactions with the FF as well as with the Inhumans and other MArvel creations were riveting. The trailer looks just awesome, and they got the look of the Silver Surfer perfect. I am really looking forward to seeing the whole film. Then we have to wait for the following summer for Iron Man (with Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark) and the second installment of Hulk. Marvel has been producing some of the most entertaining and watchable movies to come out of the Hollywood movie machine in decades. I've not really been let down by any of them, which is not something I can say for the DC films. Aside from "Batman Begins", DC really has missed the mark, the pathetically unwatchable "Superman" from last year being one of the worst. However: This Fantastic Four movie is gonna blow doors, and I do believe we will see the return of the Latverian leader, Viktor von Doom. All I can say, after an action-packed flick with tons of great destruction at the hands of the Silver Surfer, in the final scene of the film, with the Fantastic Four beaten, defeated and torn up, I only want to hear three words: "I.......AM.......GALACTUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sane:
The trailers are already showing in the theaters, so the actor has been set. Not a CGI but an actor with a CGI overlay. Doug Jones, the fellow who played Abe Sapiens in Hellboy, is playing Norrin Radd/The Silver Surfer. If you want to see the trailer, check it out at www.fantasticfourmovie.com . The trailer was shown with Ghost Rider, as well as the older version of the "Spiderman III" trailer. Release date is June 15. I think they got bumped from the July 4 weekend as that is when the Transformers movie is being released.

I highly enjoyed it, even though I was a bit disapponted that Doug didn't get to voice his character. All in all good.
SILVER SURFER WAS AWESOME!!!

I liked it, though I felt really bad for Susan since she kept getting her wedding ruined, and the embarrassing incident with power-switching. She handled it pretty well, though.
