I learned at ActiveAnimeHD.com that an Astro Boy movie will be released next year (2009). The movie will be presented to the big screen using full CGI animation sometime next year.

Astro Boy Movie 2009

An HD version of the movie trailer is available  at moviefone.com but I’ve included a YouTube version which can be viewed after the jump.

I just watched part two of the Fantastic Four movie, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and it’s a little bit better than the first one although I would have love it if they made Galactus land on Earth then followed by a great battle between the Fantastic Four with Silver Surfer against the devourer of worlds, Galactus. Man, that would have been awesome but unfortunately that never happened in the movie. Oh well, I guess they’ll do it in future sequels (if it will have any).

The Fantastic Four ?

After watching the movie, I went online to find out if there is going to be a Fantastic Four 3 and the stories I got were not very conclusive.  A few stories say that the Fantastic Four is history and that Fox is leaning towards a Silver Surfer spin-off rather than a third installment to the Fantastic Four. Oh well, I guess if they go with Silver Surfer then there is a big chance that we will see that battle between SIlver Surfer and Galactus and we might even see the Fantastic Four in there.

My search also brought me to a 1990’s version of the Fantastic Four which was completed in 1994 but was never released or was never intended to be released. I followed some links and I was able to view the entire movie online well not entirely. The movie was split into four parts but the last part or the fourth part never loaded which kinda sucks because I wanted to know how it ends. LOL!

Anyway, the movie was terrible. The only thing that looked good in the movie was the Invisible Girl, although, they did get Doctor Doom’s costume right. He he he!

Here is a trailer of the movie which I found in YouTube. Enjoy!

The superhero movie, Ironman, opened in theaters all over the country this week. I’ve been waiting for this movie since the first day I learned about it but, unfortunately, I won’t be able to see it. Let me clear that, I will be able to watch it when it comes out on video (DVD) but what I meant was, I won’t be able to watch it in a theater where movies like these are supposed to be watched.

The reason I won’t be able to watch it is because my kids don’t want to watch Ironman with me. I asked them why and they told me that they don’t know who Ironman is. Arrrghhh! I forgot, the name Ironman is kinda alien to them because he is not really that popular unlike Spider-Man or Superman.

Now, this is a bummer because I have never gone out without my family with me. My wife offered to come with me but it’s not the same if the kids are not there. I’m pretty sure we’re going to have lots of fun specially after watching the movie but I guess Ironman just don’t interest them.

They know Superman because they watch the animated series at Cartoon Network, the same goes with Batman and the X-Men with X-Men Evolution. Heck, they even know the Teen Titans and the Fantastic Four because of Cartoon Network but they don’t know who Ironman is. I guess the cool trailers and posters didn’t interest them that much.

So here is a tip for future superhero movies, make a cartoon series first and air it at widely distributed channels (public or cable) like Cartoon Network so that kids who are not into comic books would know about them. Mr. Bean is more popular to them than Ironman because the animated and live series is shown at Disney Channel.

I guess I’ll just have to wait and rent it on video when it comes out.

Anyway, they did promise that they’ll watch Batman: The Dark Knight with me when it is released this July but I don’t think I’ll be able to get them to watch The Incredible Hulk though.

The first movie, The Hulk, was very huge. It was a very huge disappointment indeed. I dragged my wife 87 kilometers away from home just to watch this supposed to be awesome movie about the Hulk but all we got to see was a bore fest of a movie. Yes, my wife literally slept through it and I think I did too although I was fighting real hard to stay awake.

Me and my wife love comic book films. We watched all Spiderman movies, all the Batman movies (even the sucky one with George Clooney as Batman), all the X-Men movies, the Punisher, Superman Returns, all the Fantastic Four movies and we are already making plans for upcoming comic book movies like the the Dark Knight (Batman Begins 2) and specially Iron Man which will be coming out this month (April 30, 2008 -- Philippines).

Let’s go back to The Incredible Hulk. The movie is scheduled to be release this coming June and because of the huge disappointment we had during the first CG Hulk movie, our excitement for this new Hulk movie is not very high. We might even decide not to watch this one and just wait for the Dark Knight which is scheduled a month after The Incredible Hulk.

Will this new Hulk movie deliver or will it disappoint again? What do you think?
