New Fantastic Four trailer

[phil]

If you listen closely you can hear Jack Kirby turn in his grave. I love the Lee/Kirby Fantastic Four and its sad to see their creation turned into such a travesty.

My son just left to see it, NOT because he wanted to, but because his friends wanted to.

He had zero interest in seeing it...Curious what his reaction will be when he gets home.

Any comments about this movie by Stan Lee? or does he even have a say anymore about how Holly Weird
makes these films? by the looks and sounds of this next FF movie, were better off having someone make
a stop motion film with the Mego FF figures.

I heard the in-movie origin of "It's Clobberin' Time". Ugh.

Here's how I'd like to see an FF movie, which I've said for awhile, but now I want it even more thanks to the back story in in Ant-Man. Set it in the 60s, and follow the Lee/Kirby vibe pretty closely. Throw in Haley Atwell, slightly aged into her 40s, and have her and Howard Stark (whichever one works) as pals and wartime allies of Reed and Ben. Have Pym as Ant-Man show up, if that works within in the timeline (that may be pushing it). Set a movie or two in the 60s, and then end it with them going into the Negative Zone. When they come out...BAM!...they are in the modern MCU. I know it's a bit like Cap, but I don't care, I want my Lee/Kirby FF, dagnabbit!!!

I believe a variation of that idea is what Marvel would do. I could see the Negative Zone as in-film jab at FOX that critics will love.

Peter Travers didn't even give it a rating.

I think I'm going now. Probably wait until Tuesday when Cinemark does five buck shows. Few things nostalgically mean as much to me as the FF. So the chance to see something this off-base is now almost impossible to pass up.

I had to post Travers non-review because it's so damn funny...

The latest reboot of the Fantastic Four — the cinematic equivalent of malware — is worse than worthless. It not only scrapes the bottom of the Marvel-movie barrel; it knocks out the floor and sucks audiences into a black hole of soul-crushing, coma-inducing dullness. And, guess what, it's an origin story. That's right. A gifted young cast (Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell, Michael B. Jordan) has been hired to freshen the plot, like an old ***** trying to pass as jailbait. No go.

Director Josh Trank (Chronicle), who wrote the soggy script with Simon Kinberg and Jeremy Slater, takes forever to get things going. Reed Richards (Teller, acting NAÏVE in capital letters) is a science prodigy recruited by Dr. Franklin Storm (Reg E. Cathey) to join his rogue think tank. Storm's adopted daughter Sue (Mara) is a willing participant. His car-crazy son, Johnny (Jordan), not so much. Mara and Jordan are given nothing to act so you can only watch as they lose the will to try. Toby Kebbell as Victor Von Doom, Dr. Storm's embittered pupil, overcompensates by overdoing everything. But he's the bad guy. You can tell because he keeps giving **** to Reed's BFF, Ben Grimm (Bell). Everyone pretends to be excited by Reed's invention, a teleporter which can transport a monkey into an alternate dimension. Since this movie has no dimension at all, everyone is envious of the monkey.

So, of course, they jump into the teleporter and gets transformed into — spoiler alert! — the Fantastic Four. Except nothing about this misbegotten, cynical attempt at franchise-rebuilding is fantastic. That includes the crude, cheap-looking, unspecial effects that turn Reed into the stretchy Mr. Fantastic, Johnny into the Human Torch, Sue into the Invisible Woman and Ben into a pile of rocks called The Thing. Fantastic Four is a pile of something, too. You fill in the blank.

It scares me for the future Star Wars movies that Josh Trank got "this close" to directing one.

[Hedji]

Absolutely. And Producree Simon Kinberg has major involvement with Rebels and is a producer for a Standalone film as well.

[MIB41]

With 100 reviews in this movie sits at 9% fresh. But what grabbed me this morning wasn't that figure. It's the audience score which often gets the diehard fans to give these films a much higher and positive percentage. This movie is already sitting at a woeful 35%!! Now that is a statement.

wish the new marvel films would get the outfits right

This!

I've said it before on a number of subjects and I'll say it again. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Some things just don't need to be 'modernised'. Just like Jimmy Olsen, Perry White and now Johnny Storm ain't black. People can play the race card, yada yada yada all they want. It's got absolutely nothing at all to do with it.

It doesn't just extend to people of color. I HATED Jennifer(white bread)Gardner as Elektra...I wanted a girl who was Greek, or at the least "looked" Greek.
