fox's fantastic four reboot

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

I find it kind of amusing the amount of people calling this movie a trainwreck and haven't even seen it...Not saying it was a great movie, but it was OK...it wasn't awful by any means. It was just meh. It was anticlimactic, it was emotionless, and it skipped a LOT of possible character building. It was more like a TV show, then canceled after the 2nd ep.

Also, I had no idea the director was the same guy who directed "Chronicle" which is maybe top 5 worst movies I've ever seen. I'd say compared to that trash, FF is an award winning film.

In disappointing news, Fox is still determined to make a sequel according to Hitfix: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit...news/?a=123847

If they actually consider making a sequel to this garbage, I hope it does worse than this film..

Sony said at first they were still making Amazing Spider-Man 3 and the Sinister 6 movie, too, while ASM2 was stinking up theaters. They're just trying to save face. In a few months they'll announce that "plans are on hold temporarily while they try and decide the best way to proceed, in order to represent the characters and the F4 franchise in the best light possible."

Word-for-word. Just wait.

[Slap-Happy]

Yo, this movie isn't nearly as bad as everyone's saying it is. The first half is actually pretty great.

After that, it turns to sh*t, but it's still about as good as the sh*tfest that is the PD TMNT.

I definitely think it's better than the old two movies. My dad did, too. No one else I know has seen it.

Proof Leo656 has access to a TARDIS. What, did you blackmail the Doctor with naughty pictures of him and K9 or something?

I can't agree. Having rewatched them in the past week: The 2000s movies were absolutely mediocre, but they at least got the FF characters themselves pretty right and tried to have a little fun with the material. They were cheesy, but... the FF kind of should be cheesy, y'know? A good FF movie should be clever and bright and colourful and fun and emotional. The 2000s movies only got a few of those right, but the new movie flopped hard on all of them, IMO.

The 2000s movies weren't good, but I was at least entertained. Which is a hell of a lot more than I can say for Tranktastic Four.

Yeah I'd rather watch a $200mil The Amazing Bulk sequel right about now.

[Foombamaroom]

Wait, wait, wait?
Is Fox legitimately considering making a sequel to this?
These executives must be stoned out of their minds, jeez.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Well, on the bright side, there is now a petition by fans for Fox to sell back the rights!

Not even, just locked him in the Camel Clutch and that jabroni gave up the ghost pretty quick. F***in' pacifists, amIrite?

Oh F no, would they really keep releasing sequels to a movie that bomed at the box office that bad? Critiques every where is giving it horrible reviews too not just it's fandom. Screw giving it back to Marvel, I just want the dang series to stay dead, unless they bring it back Animated again, I thought they did a pretty good job with it in Animation, it was better than the live action films at least. Does any one remember the Animated series that aired on Nicktoons TV a couple of years back? I enjoyed it for what it was worth. Truthfully, the only way fans will be able to enjoy there favorite series is with the comics, no one seems to be able to get the characters or series right. Every film set keeps screwing up the villain. Though the first set of films I enjoyed the action mixed with in my opinion better comedy and team work, seriously where was the team work in this film? I prefered the previous cast better, say what you will about Alba's acting but I liked her acting better than the one who played Sue in this new flick and that says a lot.

Nobody knows anything yet,but rumors are also on the opposite end suggesting the franchise is again halted in favor of Deadpool 2.

This film just wasn't gonna be any good to begin with, wasn't it? Even if you can see Fox's unrealistic standards was partially to blame for this dud, Trank really seemed like a real douche to the crew and cast, which in no way should mean he'd be the next J.J. Abrams.

And whoever the actor was calling out on Trank's bulls*it deserves a medal and a cookie.

I'd say they deserve to be given a second chance, and not have their career castrated with a rusty pair of wire snips by this unbelievable Armageddon of a terrible movie.

Anyone who calls out bullsh!t for what it is has my vote of appreciation.

What the hell is going on in your head? O_O

But yeah, I agree. I think the actors that they picked COULD'VE been great versions of the characters they were portraying... if they had a half-decent script.

This is why FOX doesn't deserve to hold the rights. Hell, they don't deserve the X-Men either because of that little stunt.

They don't give a single damn about the Fantastic Four at all. It's just the idea that they own something that Marvel doesn't that gives them a troll stiffie.

"FOX: We will NEVER share the rights with you poo poo heads! For NO REASON! Your Cinematic Universe will never be complete! It's ours! Oursoursoursoursours! lolololololol!"

Authors and sociopaths share more similarities than most civilians are comfortable with.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Ya got THAT right. It's because we can both imagine things most people would never dream of. The difference is that writers only do it on paper- sociopaths do it for real.
