Fantastic Four reboot

Then I'm afraid you have never truly lived.

Yeah, I'll have to give it a run soon. Actually, I really like 'I-Robot' & he's not bad in that.

I wouldn't say this trailer was "better" than the Ant Man trailer. I expected something cool from AM and got a blah trailer, which was disappointing. I expected total garbage from Realistic Four and got a blah trailer, which was slightly encouraging.

Ant-Man trailer had about two seconds of Evangeline Lilly.

Therefore:

AM trailer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FF trailer.

But this will be the #1 superhero movie of the summer quality wise.

I'm not sure what "quality" you're going by: story, effects, acting? I'm not sure this would win any of those categories. Only going by movies that are released in June-August, monetarily I think Jurassic Park will beat this. Hell, Magic Mike will probably make more money.

Am I the only person who felt like they were watching a trailer for The Asylum's version of Interstellar?

This trailer screams 'we want the Interstellar audience' - because of course when I think of the Fantastic Four, I think of a slow-burning, somber and grounded meditation on the nature of man's place in the universe and not four people in lycra jumpsuits fighting mole people in a parallel dimension at the height of the swinging sixties

Yup, there's a great chance it will dominate all those categories you listed and then some. It's only competition is Ant-Man and Avengers. I'm looking forward to Ant-Man but I doubt that'll be a great movie, and Age of Ultron is the sequel to a movie that wasn't praised for its acting or story, so I don't see why it's hard to believe F4 will be the best superhero movie of the year in terms of quality. I'm sure Ant-Man and AOU will probably win the fun category though.

I don't expect F4 to do great at the box office, but I don't expect it to flop either. If the movie does turn out to be great, and it's doesn't make money, then I think that'll show how many MCU sheep really are out there.

Seriously though, don't go out of your way Even as a 14 year old or whatever I realized the movie was not very good. It did help to usher in the era of the Michael Bay type summer movies, though.

Well, there's almost nothing to go on. Trank doesn't have much of a track record, and what he has done may or may not be relevant to this new project (I believe you or Spider-Man were saying that this should have a tone like the Raimi movies??). They aren't releasing really any information about the movie, except the cast, a skeletal outline of the plot, and suggestions that this will be Trank's homage to the Fly, then this teaser/trailer that reveals almost bupkis apart from, again, tone. Really, I can't see how you can form a strong opinion one way or the other unless you just have faith in Trank for some reason, or hate Fox and Sony as some do. I'm against the apparent tone and approach, but am open to the idea that the movie may be a good one. Hell, I'm open to the idea that Trank and the producers are just lying to us, and that the tone won't be that of a poor man's David Cronenberg. Prove yourselves wrong, guys!

Even with Ant-Man I think we can better gauge what we'll get because Feige runs such a tight ship. There seems to be no comparable level of executive control at Fox, so I can see the X-films being a totally different beast than the FF movies, as we saw with the previous FF movies. Avengers 2 is the one we can all probably best guess at what we're going to see--same creative team and cast as the previous film, lots of leaked info., you can tell lots of the story through the trailers, etc.

Really I think it would have been a much smarter move to set the FF movie in the 60's/70's. Apart from the fact that they work best in the time period they were conceived in, I don't see the logic in trying to get a shared universe Marvel-style off the ground having one franchise set in the past and another the present day.

I have nothing to base it on other than the talent of the team fox assembled which makes me pretty optimistic. Sure the movie can just as easily suck, but pretty much everyone involved with this movie is on a bit of a hot streak.

Feige is doing a great job with Marvel, but everything that's been going on with Ant-Man is unusual for them, based on reports, preproduction was a bit of a mess, and they ended having to settle on a subpar director after about 4 other directors declined the position. Didn't Paul Rudd help develop the new version of Edgar Wright's story and wanted to make it even more comedic than Wright's version?

The fact that we know what we're going to get with AOU is pretty much the reason why I can safely assume that it won't be the best superhero movie of the year in terms of quality, but it'll probably be an entertaining one like the first, those aren't my feelings though as I thought the first one was a terrible movie all around. I expect the same kind of dialogue, jokes, horrible cinematography, and cool action that the first movie had.

Based on all of that, I think it's fair enough for me to say that FF has a great chance at being the best superhero movie of the year quality wise. I definitely know it's not going to be the most successful though.

^ Damn, and I thought I was the only person who thought Avengers was a surprisingly poor movie.

You absolutely nailed everything I didn't like about it. I honestly thought it looked and played out like an 80's TV series pilot with millions of dollars of CGI bolted onto it.

 

[pturtle]

It absolutely did.

They hype around that movie seemed to have died down quite a bit, last year alone we got 3 Marvel movies that were much superior films.

 

[Chapter 2099]

Saw the new trailer. I liked it. Interest has peaked a bit. I didn't think the trailer looked bad at all. And honestly, there's already so much animosity toward Fox and so much fan disappointment from the previous F4s that I didn't expect much of a positive reaction. They had to take it in a different direction and looks like they did. I'm not saying this will be the greatest movie of all time, but I'm willing to bet this will be much improved from previous installments.

 

[EVILFACE]

What if F4R makes Avengers money.

 

[pturtle]

Then Dave has to make me a mod.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Does this poster look familiar?

 

[Plastic Bateman]

I still maintain the first Iron Man and Captain America: The Winter Soldier are by far the best movies Marvel have come out with. Guardians of the Galaxy was fun, but detach yourself from the hype and it's actually an extremely formulaic movie.

Wasn't all the great sci-fi movies?
