Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer [Blu-ray]

I saw this movie for the first time in 3-D, using the TV Eyes 3-D glasses I got here on Amazon. TV Eyes 3-D Glasses: Watch any movie in 3-D They turn regular movies 3-D, and boy did this looked gorgeous! I have been waiting three months to watch this because I missed it at the theaters by one day. And I was not disappointed. I really wish I could've seen it on a big-screen because in 3-D this was just amazing. The opening sequences out in space were beautiful, the moon looked like you could just reach in and poke it. Anyway, if you get the chance watch this movie with the TV Eyes 3-D glasses, they turn normal movies 3-D And this one really, really works.After reading a lot of the other reviews here on Amazon I was a little bit worried that I wouldn't like the new Fantastic Four movie. Everyone said (well, a lot of people said,) that the Silver Surfer stole the show. I didn't find that to be true. I think they balanced out things very, very well. The Silver Surfer certainly was beautiful eye-candy and wonderful to watch. It made me wish I had read more of the Silver Surfer comic books as a kid.But it was the interaction of all the characters that made the movie really fun. And the way everybody kept trading off powers, either deliberately or accidentally, added a whole new fun twist to the movie. Johnny and Ben Grimm's teasing was still there. But we also got to see a bit more of Johnny's vulnerability, and his sort of unwilling jealousy of the others in his team that they were getting something out of life that he hadn't quite figured out yet. The whole Fantastic Four wedding was kind of funny, because here these two superheroes who are trying so hard to have a normal life, and the normal ceremonies of life, and all these amazing, impossible things keep happening to ruin it for them.There is a lot of simple common sense wisdom in this movie too. Even though amazing and terrible and impossible things may be happening all around you that doesn't mean that the little things in life aren't important. Sometimes all you really need is the touch of a loved one. Anyway, this had a very good storyline, lots of fun, jokes, japes, and don't forget the FantastiCar! This movie was a very satisfying experience. And it's great for both men and women, adults and kids. There is a hint of romance and sentiment for the women, explosions and bangs and flashes and chases for the man and, and lots of beautiful superhero action, space scenes, and just visual beauty - color and landscapes and even the Fantastic Four's headquarters, with all of its chrome and glass and lights in computers and technology - the whole movie was just gorgeous to look at much less watch. Basically, I would definitely recommend getting this movie. You're going to want to watch it again and again. And definitely get a pair of the TV Eyes 3-D glasses to watch it with, it makes a world of difference. Actually, I think I'm going to go watch this again right now.

This is before Marvel started , there run . So dont exspect to much .

Marvel's first flagship comic book title hasn't generally been well-served when the conversation's turned to movie adaptations, to put it mildly. This is the exception.This translation of "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine" to the big screen got just about everything right with this 2007 sequel to 2005's fun but rocky "Fantastic Four." Casting, effects, art direction, script, and dialogue are all first-rate and tastefully handled, with sexy Jessica Alba a standout and knockout as Sue Storm. I also liked Ioan Gruffudd a lot as Mr. Fantastic, Michael ("The Commish") Chiklis as Ben Grimm, and Chris Evans in its first superhero role as hotshot John (not Johnny) Storm, re-imagined as an even brasher personality. I'm usually unhappy with recasting characters I've gotten used to as Caucasians as minorities for the sake of PC, but I also really enjoyed Kerry Washington's turn as a lovely and charismatic take on The Puppet Master's daughter and Ben's beau, Alicia.The potentially problematic depictions of Sue's invisibility, Reed's stretching and malleability, and Johnny's flaming on are all strikingly surmounted here. This was shortly before the deluge of MCU superhero movies, each of which progressively featured staggeringly updated and state of the art digital effects, so what the filmmakers have done here early on is really pretty remarkable and worthy of kudos without the need for patronizing or "overlooking" compliments. The prosthetic conceptualization for The Thing is particularly strong, and doesn't look fake or cheesy at all, as one might dread. (I'd take exception to a comment left on amazon in one of these reviews that the character is portrayed as too small, and closer to the size of a normal man, instead of as big as The Hulk. He isn't. See the cover of issue #25 of the initial run of the comic for evidence.) Most spectacular of all is the realization of the Silver Surfer, which is dynamic and thrilling to watch in every scene. It's a masterpiece of CGI special effects art in itself, by any yardstick.The Fantastic Four comic has always been first and foremost about the adventures of a family. So I was happy that this quality was very much present in the script, and also that much of the character interaction has warmth and is smile-inducing and actually funny. This motif of family has always been what's set the FF off from other superhero characters.I've seen this in a theater and on DVD, but this movie looks particularly fabulous on Blu-ray, with exciting color and sharp definition, neither of which take the edge off the extremely well-rendered effects. This is a terrific title to add to any superhero Blu-ray collection.It's too bad we'll never see this cast again in another Fantastic Four movie, but the projected third of a trilogy was deep-sixed in development hell. I doubt that any new ensemble that Disney and Marvel may or may not be thinking about putting together will be as personable.(PS: Yep, Stan Lee has a cameo. And there's even a brief mid-credits scene!)
