Captain Temerity said...: "We should use these powers to help people."

That seems to be the key thing missing from the current run of DC movies. So... yeah. This just moved up a notch on my list.; April 19, 2015 at 2:56 PM
Debra She Who Seeks said...: Already this looks better than the first 2 they made. Although Reed Richards looks too young. Ioan Griffudd was a better, more mature age for the role.; April 19, 2015 at 3:05 PM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: Mine too. Is there even a DC movie out there? Besides those animated features which are very well done.; April 19, 2015 at 3:06 PM
david_b said...: No No NO..!! I have zero-faith in this movie.

Totally agreed on Ioan Griffudd, he was an excellent Reed Richards, but the rest of the casting was so-so at best.

Wish they'd just go back to a retro-styled movie, back during the heat of the Cold War..!!; April 20, 2015 at 8:56 AM
j-swin said...: david_b is right, late 50's/early 60' space race would be ideal, no need to tie it into current continuity.; April 20, 2015 at 10:28 AM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: That would have been great but I am taking this one for what it is and hope to enjoy it.; April 20, 2015 at 1:04 PM
Simon B said...: I think this could probably be a decent, generic superhero movie... but it's not my idea of the FF. It seems to be yet another film in the shadow ( literally ) of The Dark Knight - all grim 'n' gritty, no fun.
And... "We should use these powers to help people"??? Even back in 1961 Stan Lee was writing better dialogue than that:
"You don't have to make a speech, big shot! We understand! We've gotta use that power to help mankind, right?"
Now, which line sounds more like the REAL Thing? ( Baby ); April 20, 2015 at 2:58 PM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: It's not the FF we know but it's a superhero movie and I try to watch all of those that I can find.; April 20, 2015 at 6:18 PM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
