So you added to your eyesight problems by watching a terrible movie?

I'm right there with ya... if it weren't for corrective lenses, I'd be as blind as Matt Murdock but without the awesome super-senses.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

No, didn't add to them, but I definitely need the brain-bleach now to try to forget I saw it.

Silly question: Was there a Stan Lee cameo?

[Vicky82]

No he didn't show, I bet he knew it was going to be bad.

Also there was no post credit scene.

It's predicted to do about 31 million on opening weekend

BoxOffice ‏@BoxOffice 9m
Early domestic opening projection: $31 million-$33 million for #FantasticFour.

I hope it does less than that.

Only 6 months till Deadpool, Only 6 Months till Deadpool, Only 6 months till Deadpool.

With the way things are going there's no way this film is going to make that much money.

Projections are dropping like a stone, huh? This is from Deadline:

"Fantastic Four looks like it’s off to a strong start, despite everyone and their brother (including the film’s own director) going after this film (it has a Rotten Tomatoes score of … wait for it … 10%). Fox’s next (last?) in a franchise could take in around $10M to $12M on Friday which means it would come in soft around $30M. Ugh. But, it’s still early yet and we expect its core audience to come out tonight so will take a wait and see approach."

Sounds like it very richly (poorly?) deserves to bomb. A $30m opening weekend is awful for a $120m-budget movie.

I'm not a big fan of The Fantastic Four in general and since this is getting so much hate I'll probably skip it. I was just wondering for anyone who's seen it what they thought about Dr. Doom. Specifically his voice, where his cape/cloak "came from", and just his overall appearance I guess.

Well it's pretty hard to explain on what he was like.

Spoiler:

He was completly covered in metal, fused with his suit with green stuff. They all thought he was dead but apparently he just been wondering around in that dimension for a year and he had a cape on when they found him. How he got a cape, I have no idea. How he survived for a year without food or water, I have no idea but de due to this power he had it probably kept him alive. He was also killing people in pretty gruesome ways burning them/exploding them ect.

He was acting like a hippie throughout this movie and at the end he trys to destroy the world because he thinks it's bad anyway and wants to create a new world in this dimension.

Nope. Odd, but I don't recall one in DoFP, either. Maybe he's not doing them anymore.

Ditto to this. And I will confirm no end-credits scene. Disappointing on multiple fronts.

His voice inexplicably changes drastically, and the cloak? Have NO idea where it came from. The rest of it was just his suit fused to his body, along with some metal and apparently whatever the green stuff was on the planet in that other dimension.

Yeah, that was something I couldn't swallow, either. Along with why Johnny (who has NEVER been a "follower" or conformist in ANY way) just took the little carrot the government was offering. Same with Ben. As if they couldn't see right through the false promises. So dumb.

He did a recent cameo in Ant-Man though.

Thank you for your response Vicky82.

Spoiler:

I asked specifically about his cape because I saw an interview where the actor of Dr. Doom wondered if someone who was interviewing him, who had already seen the film, noticed where his character Dr. Doom acquired his cape from. Toby Kebbell acted like it would be interesting if the audience could follow where Dr. Doom got his cape from. That's really why I asked that question so specifically. Thanks!

Marvel and Fox have a strained/hostile/openly hateful relationship at this point, so it's very possible Marvel's made a deal with Stan to avoid appearing in their movies entirely.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

That would make sense. At this point, I'd prefer if he didn't in the Fox films, since they seem to be treating the properties so poorly aside from X-Men. The less he has to do with them, the better, IMHO. He deserves better than that.

I'm pretty sure Stan Lee is going to be in Deadpool though. I think I heard he was in the SDCC red band trailer for Deadpool. I've also heard that he has been talking about his yet unseen cameo in X-Men: Apocalypse too.

I wish They would Netflix Fantastic Four like they did with Daredevil

While that'd be awesome, I doubt it. Pretty much every frame of it would need heavy CGI assists and that would be very costly.

My bet is Marvel will re-absorb the FF and just utilize Galactus and keep FF on the shelf for at least a few more years before doing anything with them.

I knew about the Deadpool one, which is fine. It looks promising, and hopefully will redeem the character after what Wolverine: Origins did to him. I guess I just feel like Stan was seriously let down by this movie, since it WAS about one of his creations.

Deadpool looks to be the most comic accurate CBM ever made, so why am I disappoint?

I didn't laugh once during the trailer, or even crack a smile. I thought the humor fell flat. Maybe it's me, but I was expecting it to be the kind of blue comedy that would make 4chan blush. Instead it felt really safe.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Which trailer did you watch? The red or green one? Granted, Deadpool is usually pretty ribald and full of stuff that's NSFW, but only as far as Marvel will let him be. His comic isn't in the MAXX line, sadly, unlike Punisher. Still, it promises to be good, gory, violent, risqué, tongue-in-cheek fun. And definitely NOT kiddie-fare!
