Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Woah, just saw the new trailer for the new upcoming Fantastic Four movie and it looks incredible with the Silver Surfer in it. It looks like they’re really raising it a few notches by bringing him in. The Silver Surfer is an extremely powerful being imbued with cosmic powers, which I believe makes him even more powerful than Superman. It’s heavily debated in the comic world who is more powerful between the two, but as big a Superman fan as I am, I would still have to side with the Surfer. Really, he doesn’t need to eat or breath and is capable of hyperspeed travel (faster than light), which Superman is not capable of. Haha, the Fantastic Four is a joke compared to the Silver Surfer.

Here’s the link to the trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/fantasticfourriseofthesilversurfer/

P.S. I think a Super Saiyan Level 3 Goku of Dragonball Z fame would wipe the floor with both the Surfer and Superman.

Movie Season

5/5/06: Mission: Impossible 3
5/18/06: The Da Vinci Code
5/26/06: X-Men: The Last Stand
6/30/06: Superman Returns

A lot of movies are coming out in the next few months and I can't wait. It's been a while since I've seen a good flick so I hope the ones I'm interested in seeing don't dissapoint. So which one am I most excited about seeing? Definitely Superman Returns. This movie has gone through as many script changes as director and lead actor changes. At one point, Nicholas Cage, Brendan Fraser, and Keanu Reeves were up for the role of playing the Man of Steel, but thank goodness, it didn't happen. I think picking an unknown like Brandon Routh is the way to go. With Bryan Singer onboard as director (he left X-Men 3 to do Superman), Superman Returns should rock if his X-Men movies were any indication of how good this one will be.

Star Wars Countdown

I can’t wait. It seemed like an eternity but it’s only gonna be another month before the release of Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. I’m pretty excited about seeing the conclusion of the Clone Wars and seeing the transformation of Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader. I just hope this movie doesn't disappoint.

On a side note, I’m also looking forward to seeing these other upcoming films:
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (April 29)
Batman Begins (June 17)
War of the Worlds (June 29)
Fantastic Four (July 8)

The Incredibles

I am a huge fan of the superhero genre as a result of my cravings for action, that is, over-the-top action that is not normally found in realistic-type movies. Movies such as Spiderman 2 and X-Men 2 as well as Smallville have come a long way in their special effects compared to similar movies/shows of the past to make the action look cool and impressive.

The Incredibles is a superhero animation by Pixar Studios, the same company that produced Finding Nemo which currently has a domestic gross of over $300 millions dollars and if The Incredibles stays strong at the box office in the coming weeks, it may reach that figure as well.

The Incredibles is about a superhero family forced to live a normal way of life as a result of all the frivolous lawsuits claiming that their superpowers did more harm than good. Mr. Incredible, the main character of the movie, still wants to use his superhuman abilities to help people but he is unable to until one day, a mysterious benefactor contacts him and requests his services.

The film is definitely well-made and entertaining, even to adults IMHO. The storyline, action, and humor kept me interested throughout the whole film. My main complaint is that the superhuman feats in animation form appeared somewhat ordinary when compared to similar action sequences in non-animation scenes and I just wasn't that impressed. For instance, I was much more impressed by the action scenes in Smallville when Clark uses his superspeed to do something while everything around him stops moving. Overall, I highly recommend this film and I give it an A-.
