fox's fantastic four reboot
 

How do you marvel fans feel about it? I was going to give it a chance until I saw that horrible pic of dr.doom that recently popped up. The last two ff flicks may have not been great, but at least they nailed dr.doom's look, this? They couldn't even do that right, come on, it's not effing hard to do his appearance justice. I hope this fails and that fox lets the rights go back to marvel studios, where they belong.

We haven't even seen a full promo picture yet? I think we're jumping to conclusions here.

Based on how the original Fantastic Four films were, anything has to be better than that.

Why don't we just wait until a trailer comes out to justify if it's "horrible."

Honestly, I think everyone's already sick of this movie, even if it comes out in a year.

I'm not judging or speculating until I see a trailer, but I'm going in this one with low expectations. I'm looking forward to Pixar's Inside Out more than this.

Nothing beats the unreleased FF movie, best Dr. Doom EVER.

the mask is the only thing thats going to appear on screen as-is. the suit hes wearing is only for performance purposes, i guess. they've already stated that most of the costume is going to be done in CGI.

also its like one blurry pic...are we still seriously going to judge something years before its release and base said judgement on unfinished product???

didn't we just do that for months?

its exhausting.

?????? What ?????????

Also I have a question was Johnny Storm ever black before???? I just find it strange especially sense him and Sue Storm are suppose to be siblings, but I guess theres always adoption ????????

Nah, pretty sure this is the first time Johnny's been black in any continuity. I assume either he or Sue is adopted.

There is a 1994 unreleased Fantastic Four movie, it is amazingly campy, but. Beats both Fox movies out of the water imo.

No, Johnny have never been black before, but that shouldn't really be any issues. There is so many ways of explaining it, heck there is even real-life twins with very different skin colors, so why not? besides, almost no one complained about Jessica Alba's ethnicity when she was Sue Storm (her actin "skills" though..), since Ms. Alba is Latin American.

Well I don't even know who Jessica Alba is so I can be held accountable :lol:

Honestly I think I just hate how the are changing characters to pacify others.
I mean changing Thor into a women, making Johhny Storm Black??? Really????
Can was just either make new original character or promote minority characters such as Miles Moral-Spider-man, or 2099 Spider-man? John Stewart- Green Lantern(Still don't understand why everyone prefers the other GL's)
Or bring back Static Shock?????

Would really like to see Miles-Spiderman get some more action.

Jessica Alba plays Sue Storm in the two previous films, severely miscast.

I remember seeing the first one in the cinema and rather enjoying it... Guess I had to be a fan to feel the pain.

You know they really f***ed up when tim story's dr.doom looks pretty good and faithful. Dr.Doom is one of my favorite marvel villains, that suit that the guy is wearing sure as hell looks like no mo cap suit. The Fantastic Four won't even be called the Fantastic Four in the movie, you would think by now that they would show the official logo of the movie, but nope. It's like Fox thinks they got a stinker on their hands already. The guy who directed this is going to directed a new Star Wars movie that is scheduled to be released in 2018. Star Wars fans should worry. Just when you thought comic book movies would be ok cause of tom rothman no longer working at fox, that guy was responsible for making movies bad, he was the reason we didn't get to see the sentinels being used years ago.

I like Josh Trank.

I hate Fox.

I like Michael B. Cooper.

I hate Miles Teller.

I love Kate Mara.

I don't like Jamie Bell.

I'm indifferent to Toby Kebbell.

I won't judge it until I see the final product.

What else Tom Rothman is responsible for:

-Galactus being a cloud in Fantastic Four 2.
-Making the director (Stephen Norrington) of Blade retire from directing movies, he browbeated him until he quit.
-Making the director (Alex Proyas) of The Crow almost retire from directing movies.
-Mismanaging the production of X-Men 3.
-Forcing Ridley Scott to edit Kingdom of Heaven.
-Daredevil being PG-13 and short.
-Not providing better budgets for the Fantastic Four movies, getting Tim Story to direct them.

Why should Star Wars fans worry?

I'm excited for this, so kiss my butt.

It's almost like they don't care about this series :lol:

Delayed Yet Again
 

The movie has pushed back to August 7, 2015

http://collider.com/fantastic-four-r...ase-date-2015/

Smart. Try to mimic the success that GOTG (and to a lesser degree TMNT) had at the beginning of August when there is less competition.

I like Josh Trank so I hope he knocks this out of the park.

I hope this bombs so we can have FF rights back to Marvel/Disney! we need galactus, Silver Surfer, Puppetmaster etc. in MCU and MTU.

I bet this movie will get reception similar to The Amazing Spiderman 2 or the new TMNT film.

Apparently Doctor Doom in the Fantastic Four reboot, Is an Anti-Social Programmer
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit...news/?a=110856

This is pretty much how I feel about the film:



Why bother? This isn't an FF movie anymore.

I'm as open-minded as the next guy, but this sounds pretty darned dumb.

The more I hear from this film, the more convinced I am it's gonna blow.

It's one thing to change Johnny's race, but turning Docter Doom, one of the most dangerous villains in the Marvel universe, into some anti-social programmer? Seriously?!?! That's just a new level of stupid. :trolleye:

I was never excited about this. Confused on casting choices, the direction of the film, and well, I just don't like Fantastic Four to begin with.

Think about it like this, if the movie really does blow, we already have a perfect fantastic four movie, it was called The Incredibles.

The only appropriate response, foul language ones aside: "For what purpose?".

:tlol: Good point.

I don't give a crap about the Incredibles, I want a better fantastic four movie.

Great, first they cancel ("rest") the comic, and now this. FF are one of my favorite teams, and they just aren't getting any respect.

I guess they made Johnny black when they realized that Chris Evans can't play everyone in the Marvel Universe without people catching on.

Dr. Doom already has a great origin, but hey let's make him a blogger with a bad attitude. :roll:
"What's that Richards ??? Not answering my FB messages and ignoring my pokes!!! Well you just wait till I charge up my laptop. Your not going to like what I write about you pal.. :x"

Sweet Mother, when you put it like that it sounds even worse!

Well, judging by these announcements, that probably ain't gonna happen.

Marvel must be really kicking themselves now for desperately selling off their characters to any film studio who asked back in the 90s.

To be fair, nobody could have foreseen Marvel having their own studio back then (I mean, they were more or less broke at one point), but even the idea of selling their franchises piecemeal to a bunch of different studios seemed like a huge mistake to me as a kid. Being a kid, my initial thoughts were, "But how are they ever gonna cross the characters over in a movie if they're all being made by different people?" Most conventional wisdom of the day said, "They'd never do that anyway because a movie with, say, both Iron Man and Captain America in it would be too complicated and too expensive." So it didn't matter if every character was owned by a different studio. "They don't need to worry about cross-overs because they'll never ever do that anyway." Shyeah.

Real shame how it all worked out. Even 10-year-old me still had more foresight than anyone else. :lol: Tragic. A good rule of thumb for everyone would be, ignore and avoid all Marvel movies that come out that aren't X-Men or "proper" Marvel Studios films. I mean, it's unlikely, but if F4 and Spidey movies consistently tank over the next few years, you gotta figure they'd at least consider selling the rights back to Marvel. Seems unlikely but if I'm not mistaken, Marvel have already gotten the rights to Ghost Rider and Punisher back, because those properties weren't worth keeping for the other studios. It could take a few years, but we could luck out. Marvel will probably never get the film rights to X-Men back, but they could get back everything else. That's the best-case scenario.

For that to work, though, absolutely nobody is allowed to go see this F4 movie. Seriously. If this movie makes even A dollar they're going to try and keep it.

Like I said, The Incredibles is the closest thing to a faithful F4 movie. It had the family aspect, and had a well-written story.

Yeah, but I hate "close enough". I'm not a big F4 fan but as one of the original "big" Marvel franchises and one of the earliest super-hero teams in general, they deserve a decent movie of their own, not a "close enough if you squint" movie.

Simply put, blue and green aren't the same. They can get kinda close, but they're not the same.

THIS.. 100%
As for studios, in a perfect world Marvel would have kept the rights to all of their characters. With Disney's purchase of Marvel, they most certainly have the money to buy back everything. What I don't see is Sony ever giving up Spiderman. They will make 10 more Spidey-films of increasingly poor quality before that happens..... or they'll accept a big cheque at some point.
I'm hoping for the later. One word.. Crossover. :)

I changed my mind, I'll see the new fantastic four movie but only to find out how damn bad the whole thing is.
