Fantastic four

[pstall]

why does a reboot need to go over the origin AGAIN? why not pick up years later or something fresh.

 

but what someone said is true. Fox milked this to the end before going to Marvel. they poison pilled this thing.

If I were fox I would probably try a soft reboot before rebooting the entire thing again..

I was right yet again.

I knew this movie was in trouble when no 3D plans were made for the release.

And you guys are excited about Deadpool. I'd temper my expectations. Seriously. Fox is horrible with CBMs.

Deadpool actually has a badass trailer and people that are insanely passionate about the project.  This Fantastic Four never had an ounce of what Deadpool has.

And I agree mostly about Fox, but the past two X-Men movies have been pretty damn good.

It'll be a decade before we see another Fantastic Four adaptation. The first two were too campy and cheesy, and this one was a two hour trailer that went nowhere.

I thought that after the second remake of the Spiderman series but...

Please give Marvel their heroes back.

Ryan reynolds isn't going to let deadpool fail. He loves the project too much.

Reports are now saying it wasn't the studio but the director that ruined this project behind the scenes. Which is why the studio had so many reshoots and why he ended being fired from directing a star wars film.

The problem started with FOX. They hired a director that had no desire to make an actual Fantastic Four film. It's been documented that Josh wanted to make a dark and gritty movie with horror elements, basically a sequel to Chronicle. That is the exact opposite of what Fantastic Four should be. To FOX's credit though, after Trank went off the rails on the crazy train they tried their best to salvage things. When your director is constantly drunk or high it's sort of hard to make an actual movie.

I just saw this last night, and I thought it was a good reboot. Told the origin story, moved it along and ended it. What they do with the next will be the test imo.

not sure if serious, but I seriously doubt Fox has a sequel with this crew. 

[Jangler]

yeah, i did mean to say "if"...I thought the casting was good. Not sure why Fox would give up so quickly, when this was way, way, way (cast and story) better than the first FF.

[scpanther22]

If I were Fox I would keep the cast and just go with a soft reboot for the next film.

I have a hard time trusting reviews for comic book movies. So many people decided before this movie even released a trailer that it was gonna be bad hearing the first reviews are bad doesn't really surprise me.

Agree in general, but when what you're hearing is universally bad, it's usually spot on.

Stories coming out that the director showed up for work some days pretty well lit and treated cast and crew like crap.  Read one that said his claim of studio interference might have held some weight but from what they've heard his original vision probably would have been just as big a bomb.
