Fantastic Four reboot

[jye4ever]

You know in the first Star Wars movie...that first scene...how Darth Vader just walks into the room and BOOM you know what he is. He's intimidating, he's the bad guy, he's scary, doesn't **** around, cuts right to the chase. We don't need his origin, that can come later. They need to do that with DOOM. DOOM inspired Vader...it's time to return the favor.

Good stuff there BJ (and the Bear).

The film earned a dismal "C-" Cinemascore, a very low grade for what is supposed to be a summer blockbuster. Pixels, for heaven's sake, earned a "B."

Fantastic Four can make the ignominious claim of having opened better than Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, which had a $22.1M weekend in 2012, limping towards a $51M domestic cume. But Four opened lower than Blade 2 at $32.5M in 2002 ($45.5 adjusted using Q1 2015 prices), which had some legs, and had an $82.3M domestic cume. The Thing had better have massive overseas appeal or Fantastic Four will have to be registered as a write-off.

Wow, what a **** storm.

I was going to go see this with a friend for ****s & giggles (like T-5), but I think it's a pass at the cinema for both now.

Definitely a 'watch on my PC' deal when I'm in the mood some day. This really sucks, when are the FF going to get their due? I'd argue that they're the seminal Marvel book in a lot of ways.

Damn.

But I do understand you.
I was hyper-excited for GotG and it left me very disappointed despite being an ok film.

Anyways, I just got back from this cinematic version of a hooker on an abortion table.

I will say this, Tim Story's F4 movies are masterpieces compared to this.

They might've **** on the source material and had a not so great Reed, Sue and Doom plus a human size Thing but at least there was an element of a fun and energetic family dynamic with some pretty decent action, a comic book come to life.

This movie was made by someone who had no business trying to emulate a great like Cronenberg in writing, directing and character study.

You could tell it was made by someone who thought they were being a genius when in reality they were outputting grade school drama.

Directing/Writing is much more than just talking about a great idea and vision with cinematic history being thrown around trying to sound all smart, any ***** can talk big.

Filmmaking is about working with hundreds of people simultaneously from dozens of departments to bring that vision to life, empowering others with your confidence and gaining their respect and trust thru a collaborative process starting at the top all the way to the bottom.

The second the departments lose faith in their director they're immediately going to the producers to complain and the snow ball starts there.

Trank is a little kid driving a car on the LA freeway, **** is going to go bad quick!

The build up in this movie, the first "quality" hour, was even worse than what Tim Story gave us, because at least Tim Story was mature enough to follow thru all the way to the end with his build up.

Don't even get me started on the so called superhero action. It made no ****ing sense!

This movie is a 1/10.

Nah, **** that, 0/10.

I would stand in Times Square naked with a sign that said "Godzilla is Coming, We're All Doomed!" before I ever watch this movie again.

DAAAAAAYUM...Jye unleashed!

Ewwww

 

[Devil_666]

Dr. Doom wears a ****ing suit of armor. What the hell is so hard about doing that for a live action movie!?

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Roger Corman's Doom owns ALL so far.

That's what drives me bonkers. It looks classic and badass already and has stood the test of time. Just implement it! Hopefully someone does justice to Doom, one day. Would love a well designed, high-end Doom on the shelf.

From the sound of things, Fox needs Marvel to sign off on their X-Men TV Series. Now's your chance, Feige; make it count.

 

[GasparZizou]

So Fox is keeping the rights huh?

It's insane. They throw batman on the screen and it's fine. You don't need some crazy accident that fuses bruce wayne with a ****ing bat and call him batman. Its a guy who has a traumatic experience and goes from there. Why can't Dr. Doom have the same progression?!

Hell just take what Tony Stark did and twist it into a Doom version. What's the problem here?

 

[karamazov80]

I hear what you guys are saying, but on the other hand, Ragman has been criminally underused and under-appreciated for decades. I applaud Trank having the balls to finally give us a Ragman on the big screen, even by another name.

 

[Khev]

That's the thing. I can take or leave the FF at this point. But I do want Doom and Galactus in the MCU.

 

[evenflow]

I wish a deal could be worked out for Silver Surfer for Infinity War. Don't care about FF at this point in the MCU.

 

[Khev]

Surfer for Infinity War and if they ever do Planet Hulk would be cool.

 

[Biojex]

And if they get DOOM, we can get secret wars.

 

[Khev]

And if they get DOOM, we can get secret wars.

And it'd be SO awesome to have a Fassneto lounging around on the planet with Evangeline Lilly like he was in the original miniseries.

 

[karamazov80]

I don't think any of those characters are essential for Marvel moving forward. They could substitute out various other characters in their same roles. Red Skull could play the role that Doom did in Secret Wars, Beta Ray Bill or Kree Mar-Vell could be Surfer's role in any cosmic dispute (or they could just ignore the role he played completely), and we've already seen Ronan playing the Galactus-type role for Xandar, albeit in a weaker, more comedic fashion. They could use Ego the Living Planet or an Eternal in that role. If they have the rights, they could also use Psycho-Man.
