i had stayed away from the first one because i love the FF and i had
heard so many bad things about the film that i couldn't bring myself
to see it.  i finally broke down and saw the first one on cable
because i was intrigued by how badly animated the Silver Surfer looked
in the commercials.  i think the casting of Dr. Doom, Human Torch and
The Thing was great, but they really bollixed up the casting of Sue
and Reed, and given Sue Storm was my favorite comic book character
until Jean Grey turned into the Phoenix, i was pissed off watching
Jessica Alba butcher the character.  will i be as pissed if bother
seeing the second one?

how did the Surfer look on the big screen?  like i said above, he
looks craptacular in the commercials.  also, do we get to see Galactus
(feel free to spoiler space that part if you think it's supposed to be
a surprise)?

Pembleton wasn't always a creep  :-)
