Reed Richard's teacher is kind of an asshole.

What's up with Fox's inability to do a good looking Dr. Doom? It's not a complex design.

I don't know why Fox can't do a proper version of Dr Doom, Hes from Latveria and is also a dictator of his country.

*TurtleTitan97* · 07-14-2015, 05:23 PM

Geez, just when I thought this movie couldn't look any worse...

*Bry* · 07-14-2015, 05:38 PM

I liked Kid Reed and Kid Ben in the beginning? Otherwise this is definitely way more Ultimate FF than FF classic, which... meh.

For some reason Fox absolutely refuses to get Dr. Doom right. And felt the need to answer a certain question about The Thing from "Mallrats", completely unasked and unwanted.

And did that trailer seriously include the line "if we do this, we do it our way" without a hint of irony?

Yeah, doesn't look too great. There's plenty of potential for a good FF movie, but it'd take a particular talent to pull it off, and one with enough confidence to not run in the opposite direction and take it too seriously.

But I'm sure he loves donuts and Duff.

Yeah exactly - Roger Corman spent five bucks on his, and more or less nailed it.

As a guy who knows next to nothing about the FF, can you tell me how you get Doom "right?"

As a non-fan, this looks miles better than the first two FF movies. But that's not really saying much, I gather.

*drgon78* · 07-15-2015, 06:16 AM

I actually like the first 2 FF movies but this one looks too much like the ultimates version wich I hated. I do agree that I have not seen a version of Doom done right outside of the comics.

Shred Head · 07-15-2015, 07:55 AM

I love Fox's X-men movies I do in fact I enjoy alot of them over the Marvel Studios stuff. Also I am looking forward to Deadpool I got a feeling its going to be one of if not my all time favorite comic book movies. This movie on the other hand WTF happened this looks bad like really bad. Even the graphics that Thing looks like it came out of a PS4. Also Dooms design the thing that got criticized the most out of the original movies was not having a comic accurate Doom. So what do you do make him look like he's living rock and have him glow green WTF Fox.

Well, not a sleazy businessman or an angsty blogger who gets superpowers by accident, for a start.

In the comics, he's the ruler/dictator of Latveria, a fictional Eastern European nation, a genius multi-skilled scientist with some additional skill as a sorcerer. He's defined by arrogance, vengeance, and paranoid delusion, but also with a strong sense of honour. Everything he can do he worked for or created himself - his "powers" come from his own inventions and innovations, his suit of armour and his skill as a sorcerer. He's actually one of the most interesting and complicated supervillains out there, which is why it's a shame the big-screen versions tend to be pretty one-note and dumbed-down by comparison.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-15-2015, 09:52 PM

Didn't Stan Lee say in an interview that the other movies' Dr. Doom was the worst on-screen Marvel villain ever?

I'll bite, that sounds accurate. Although "Galactus Is A Giant Cloud Or Some Sh*t" was pretty awful, too.

~~AquaParade~~ · 07-15-2015, 09:58 PM

The trailers for this don't look too good, but it's hard to fault FOX for going in this gritty direction and swoop up "the Chronicle guy". I hope the movie turns out better than I am expecting.

That being said, and keep in mind that I have never directed a film, the two words I would use to describe a potentially great FF movie would probably be "psychedelic" and "fun". So far, I have seen neither from this movie.

And, that version would have been so awesome to see on the big screen. I mean, he's a leader off a country, he'd have diplomatic immunity when in the Us, so the FF had to be smart to take him down then just walk up to his doorstep and smash stuff up.

Honestly I just want Marvel Studios to get the F4 rights back. Fox doesn't seem very confident with this reboot.

To be honest, I wish they'd get the rights to it all back so we can have one cohesive universe again.

*TurtleTitan97* · 08-04-2015, 05:54 PM

Well, the reviews are coming in. And as expected, the movie sucks: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fantastic_four_2015/

Time to give Marvel back the rights, Fox.

*Foombamaroom* · 08-04-2015, 06:29 PM

"He's stronger than any of us."
"But he's not stronger than all of us."

WHAT THE ****, YES HE IS! That's the whole point of Doom!

I just read these reviews... apparently, the movie is 100 minutes, and the F4 get their powers around an hour into the movie. So, yeah, 35 minutes of superhero stuff. How great.

Wasn't that the biggest gripe about the 1st Tim Story flick?

It'll be pretty sweet to have Galactus in the MCU. I could see that being the climax of Phase 4.
