Support NeoGAF

[jon bones]

Damn this trailer looks terrible, look's like a non-CW TV live action super hero show

i love that CW TV has so much super hero rep now :lol

 

[Toxi]

Meh

Not outright bad like the Antman trailer, but nothing interested me.

You'd think a trailer about a superhero team would show some actual interaction in that superhero team.

 

[Discotheque]

There are so many ways one could interpret that.

he's not some dork on neogaf or comicbookmovie forums i think there's only one way to interpret that to be honest.

 

[Neoxon]

I meant to people like us, I'm well aware of the main interpretation. And I respect that he's a good sport.

Please explain how GOTG falls apart

That tape would be fucked.

 

[vgamer1]

Fant4stic.

 

[Principate]

Dude you just named two movies that really fall apart. Please please tell me how GOTG falls apart upon rewatch and TDK and TDKR do not.

GOTG follows its own internal logic. TDK and TDKR do not.

There have been countless threads ripping those movies since they came out. Pointed out illogical jumps ad naseum.

Please explain how GOTG falls apart.

I watched and enjoyed TDR rises in the cinema twice, didn't feel the urge to rewatch GoTG. TDKR is awful in rewatch in all respects. Even if it was a genuinely good movie it would be pretty boring on rewatch due to extremely slow build up of Bruce's character.

[TheGreatDirector]

That's a strange suit Mr. Fantastic has got on himself. Still, nothing really revealing is being shown here.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Is that Tim Blake Nelson?

 

[TacticalFox88]

Man, Sue Storm is SUCH a downgrade from the previous films.

I like that Reed has all these restraints on him, as if to keep him from falling apart or something.

Man, Sue Storm is SUCH a downgrade from the previous films.

The problem is that they expected Jessica Alba to be able to read lines convincingly, and that's just not something she's capable of. I'll happily stick with Kate Mara.

exactly. the movies were ok but i could watch them all day just for jessica. New one is so forgettable

[guek]

Kate Mara > Alba any day. At least Mara can actually carry a scene

 

[foxtrot3d]

You know I really like Whiplash and I thought he did a fine job, BUT for some reason he has this face that I just really want to punch. It's totally irrational but every time I see his face I just want someone to punch him. Hmm, maybe that's why I enjoyed Whiplash so much...

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Huh I didn't even notice that. Susan's costume is noticeably more fit around her body than Johnny's and Reed's, most likely to tie in with her invisibility powers. Her torso also has some kind of darker colored mesh that goes from her neck to just above her waist.

i don't think fantastic four needs to have acting chops at all. most of the super heroes movies are about eye candy and explosions.Atleast that is what i see. I understand your point though if serious acting is required.

I highly doubt Trank is interested in actors who can't handle a fairly intense performance. Not expecting high art, but I do expect a far more personal and emotionally challenging movie than either of those previous movies.

Well Trank was saying that he's way into body-horror, and I mean Reed's powers... they're pretty fucked up! I doubt he'd be able to maintain total control this early on. Makes sense that he'd need help keeping himself together, or to keep himself from going too far.

With Johnny, he has these little vents on his suit, probably to keep him from internalizing the heat too much or something.

I feel like I understand the function for both their costumes - Sue's isn't quite so obvious. I don't think those white/silver dots around her suit are purely cosmetic - maybe like mo-cap dots or something to track her if she goes invisible or something? I dunno.

 

[Sinatar]

If they were casting Sue Storm based purely on looks them Alice Eve would have been the obvious choice.

However she can't act any better then Alba.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Why are their suits black?

humor intended

This.

 

[KissVibes]

Does Johnny Storm have a goddamn heatsink on his heart?

 

[Replicant]

This has the same dry, boring look as that Chronicle film.

 

[JDSN]

Does Johnny Storm have a goddamn heatsink on his heart?

I should get me one of those.

What were you expecting blue spandex?

Yup. He plays Harvey Elder.

Wut? The MCU movies are packed with good actors. Some of the movies would be utter failures if they didn't cast the right actors (RDJ, for example, but I'd argue for others, as well). I'm not even referring to "serious acting". Iron Man would be a failure if the actor couldn't pull off the charisma and sense of humor. Captain America wouldn't work if Chris Evans couldn't embody virtue AND a little bit of existential angst, while still seeming like a real human being. Thor would suck if Chris Hemsworth couldn't give us a cocky but likeable character. And so on and so forth (Loki is a huge success because of Hiddleston).

A good actor can elevate a poorly written character, and do wonders with a well written character. The opposite does not apply.

Alba was awful. Awful awful awful.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

I would take Rooney Mara over Kate Mara.

 

[VaLiancY]

Don't if this was posted, alternate footage with Sue and Johnny.

 

[Raptor]

Interesting.

I think it looks good.

 

[Lagamorph]

Looking at that, they don't get their powers from an outerspace adventure where they get hit by cosmic rays?

I'm disappointed now.

Alternate dimension shenanigans.

Come on she's not that b-

sounds like it's because of a trip to the negative zone now, which honestly isn't that crazy of a change. it works well if they are going to be setting up Annihilus for a sequel.

 

[Kyoufu]

I didn't know Miles Teller is in this. That makes it a must watch.

 

[Ganzlinger]

I prefer Jessica Alba.

 

[Anton Sugar]

I prefer Jessica Alba.

Why?

 

[Real Hero]

looks like a big pile of shit. Film might be fine but that trailer was the most generic thing I've ever seen.

i'm still hopeful for the final product but yeah, the trailer looks like the marketing dept just wanted something that looks/feels as much like Interstellar as possible

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Incest porn thread is that way -->

i think it looks fine for a sci fi movie and whatever its trying to do, but why is it labeled the FF4 besides the obvious?

 

[richiek]

Some new pics:

Man, J. Jonah Jameson did a real number on Reed Richards.

 

[- J - D -]

Those are Miles Teller's actual scars, right? He had them in Whiplash as well. Makes his Reed Richards look badass.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Yeah, those are his real scars. Got them in a car crash or something.

He has real scars?
*Looks up wiki*
From a car accident? Damn.

 

[ezekial45]

So are they permanently in these containment suits?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I like the suits, especially Reed's.

The elasticated bands are a nice touch.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

Is that Tim Blake Nelson?

So he goes from The Leader to Mole Man?
