The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!
Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Let them go! Let them go!
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

I thought they got the FF characters and their interactions just right. I was disappointed in the changes made to Doom's character though; in the comic he has no powers of his own, he wears a suit of powered armor (of his own devising). Also, in the comic Doom is the despot ruler of a small Middle or Eastern European country (it's moved around over the years). Of course, since we last see him loaded on a ship bound for Latveria (his home country) maybe that will come about in the next movie.
The action felt a little flat and rushed to me, and I didn't care for the resolution of the fight with Doom. Reed should have come up with a device to siphon off Doom's energy instead of the lame trick they used. Reed is the smartest man in the Marvel Universe, after all; his superpower is his brain, the stretching thing is just a talent he picked up along the way.
Anyway... re-watched X2 earlier this evening, and it still impresses me. I think if Brian Singer had done FF it would have been much better. It gives me hope for his version of Superman, which is supposed to be out sometime next year I think.
I just realized how much of a fanboy I sound like, gah...

Meh, Superman doesn't excite me. Too little "common man" about him.
Ok, I'm glad Reed has a better power than stretching because, honestly, that was just a bit silly. Couldn't quite figure out why the others were listening to him, either, but if he's really smart and not just sort of smart, that makes sense.

To: JenB
Superman isn't really a favorite of mine either, but I'm curious now to see what Brian Singer does with him.
About Reed's smarts... There's a bit in the comic book Secret Wars (issue #11, I think) from years ago; Dr. Doom has just stolen the power of the Beyonder and become The Most Powerful Being In The Universe. The heroes burst in too late to stop Doom, but find all of his equipment left behind. Reed takes one quick look and deduces not just what Doom did, but *how* he did it; a bystander reacts by saying, "No wonder they call you Mr. Fantastic!"
Kinda summed up the character of Reed Richards for me. The movie didn't show his smarts enough, IMHO!
