It doesn't look bad actually. But way way way way way way way too dark for the FF. I'm glad the "found footage" angle isn't apparently as pervasive as it was in Chronicle.
 
I keep thinking about Planetary now, and the tone does suggest a world where I can see the torch casually killing the baby Superman in his crib/ship, killing and dissecting Green Lantern just out of curiosity, etc.
 
Trailer was ok, but at no point did I feel like I was seeing the classic characters on the screen. No thing, no firestorm...so will wait for a trailer that gives us a little more of the team
 
It has a Ender's Game, Jupiter Ascending kind of feel to it, and not the classic Super-Hero feel. Which is good since that is what they seem to be going for, but this puts it in the same type of universe as Tatum's character in JA and not say fighting along side X-Men or Spiderman. Not sure what I think about that. To me it will just be a sci-fi movie and nothing more. Like the previously mentioned movies, it's not something I'll spend $ money on in theaters to see, but will eventually catch it on-demand or something......or wait for it to hit the bargain bin.
 
I don't have the dislike for this movie that some seem to but I wasn't overly thrilled with some of the casting choices (most actually). The trailer looks like it could make for a decent scifi movie but it doesn't feel like a Fantastic Four movie....the tone came off as way too dark. I'll definitely see it, but not until it's released on HBO.
 
Wanted to be surprised, but idk the trailer didn't do it for me.

Miles didn't come off as Reed for me. He seemed to unsure of himself in the trailer. The thing looks horrible CG at first glance and definitely to Manof Steelsy for my taste. Way to serious, I'm actually thinking that there won't be any jokes in this movie.

Seeing young Reed messing with the N-Zone was cool tho.
 
Trailer looks better than expected but it has no fantastic four feeling at all. Looks like a random science fiction movie.
 
so when someone revealed the film was basically chronicle 2 they weren't lying. It's a pretty unexciting teaser imo
 
The tone is so dour and pretentious. Trank is calling this "hard scifi" in interviews. Ug, what a mess. This is will another overly-serious piece of tripe like Ang Lee's Hulk. Fauxtastic. :(
 
I think the trailer looks pretty good. It's not the Fantastic Four in the classic sense of course, but a use of the "Fantastic Four" brand and reimagining of the characters. While I would prefer to see the classic take, we have gotten two mediocre movies that under performed at the box office. Comic book movies are still superhot potential tentpole blockbusters, so FOX took a gamble and hired a young director to try a different tact that would target the YA and international market as opposed to the vocal fanboys/fangirls that make up less than 1/10 of 1%. They have a young, diverse cast and (finally) a CGI rock monster. Who knows if this will pay off but I can see the logic. Sure I'd like the license to revert back to Marvel if for no other reason to see the FF in the same universe with the Avengers (possibly Spiderman) and other Marvel heroes, possibly starting with The Infinity War. However Marvel simply having the license back and using the cannon characters does not automatically equate into a good or successful movie. Yes they almost certainly would make a far better flick than the first two FF movies, but it still might not be a blockbuster. The classic FF may well be too outdated for today's marketplace. As it is, I don't think the comic has been setting the world on fire in recent years.
