I thought the first one was a dumb man's interpretation of the FF. Just awful.
However, I am looking forward to the sequel. I didn't like the first Spider-Man nor the first X-Men but I loved their sequels. Hoping we get the REAL Fantastic Four this time.

For me, the first FF was probably one of Marvel's most enjoyable films. Not exactly a great movie by any means, but really entertaining. So I am very excited about this next one. Especially with the Silver Surfer playing a major role!!! Yay! Bring on Galactus!

So is it a trend now not to put numbers in sequels?
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Ice Age: The Meltdown
Rocky Balboa
Live Free Or Die Hard

Add The Dark Knight and The Incredible Hulk to that list. I guess the marketing wizards are seeing if this approach helps the box office numbers. I guess not having a number after the title somehow makes the series seem fresh instead of just a typical sequel.

I guess this means that we can kiss goodbye any solo SS movie. BTW, I'm not hugely familiar with the Marvel universe, but I don't recall SS "wreaking havoc" on earth prior to Galactus' arrival.

And, to be honest, I much prefer non-numbered sequels, unless there is a specific reason to number them (such as where the movies are part of a larger single story).
But back on topic, I loved the first movie (I guess I'm easily amused when it comes to comic action films), and can't wait for the unnumbered sequel.

Originally, Silver Surfer was a bad guy. Galactus turned him into his herald, turning his skin into indestructible silver and giving him his abilities along with his surfboard which allows him to fly at the speed of light. As herald to Galactus, the Surfer would scout out different planets and prepare them to be sucked dry (eaten) by Galactus, Devourer of Worlds.
Then Surfer rebelled against Galactus and became enemy to him, eventually becoming a good guy.
I'm really stoked that the Silver Surfer is in the new sequel but why have Doom return??? Dumb. They should have Galactus there instead.
Anyhow, I'll be there to see this movie definately.
I thought the Fantastic Four movie was unfairly bashed. It was a fun popcorn flick.

i was surprised by the first one! i thought i wasn't going to enjoy it at all, and i came out satisfied which was surprising to me!
the storyline sounds good, but do you know who will play the role?

If it has Galactus as a third act villain, that could be ultra-cool. Another possibility is Galactus arriving at the end of part two and setting up three. Don't think that will happen unless they do two and three together though.
