Does Fatman on Batman count?

I doubt even YOU think that's possible.
Resurrection F has a limited release, so I doubt it. That being said, I'm probably gonna go see it since the reviews coming out for it are pretty good. Here's hoping that F4 gets positive reviews as well, which will be what sways me either way to see the movie. This isn't because I want it to fail, but rather me being concerned for the film's quality on account of the fact that the embargo is ending so close to the film's release, even compared to Jurassic World.
And before anyone mentions the MCU, Marvel usually releases reviews a week in advance. And even then, it's kind of tradition for my little brother & I.
That being said, if everyone's as positive about F4 as that one CBM guy, maybe Fox will (as I said earlier) lift the embargo early to generate some hype for the movie.
Because the review is already bias from the start. At least give me the illusion you're coming from a neutral place.
That would require much more interest in the property

It's not like what the reviewer said isn't 100% true.
So? Still doesn't belong in a review. It just makes you look petty.

Still not as petty as those who want a movie they haven't seen to bomb
ur probably right tho

At this point, it's so obnoxious that he could have simply been making an observation--it doesn't mean he's biased.
And that's just from a quick search in this thread. This shit happens in EVERY FF thread and it gets old.

The only thing we can do. Copy and paste them for a year and then make a crow thread.

So many good posts lined up for a crow thread. I hope the movie does well if only to make everyone feel dumb.

Yeah this is the type of vitriol where crow threads actually make sense imo. If the movies good of course.
Then more power to Fox. Or from a more cynical point of view, Fox would end the review embargo earlier to get people excited for the movie.Guys, what if...
the movie is good?
I'm honestly just waiting for reviews.
Do I get to coo at people if it bombs?
They have? Huh, that would explain the more civilized nature of this thread.
That depends, critically or financially?
For anyone who cares, the opening weekend projection for the F4 reboot has went up to $50 million, $1 million more than before (it's not much of an increase, but it's an increase). Nothing from Variety or Deadline as far as projections go, yet.

Regardless of how it does critically, I don't feel good about the financial success of this movie...but who knows?
Both?
I've said before that how well this film does financially depends on how well it's received. But since most of the reviews won't be out until near crunch time, it's really anyone's guess. While granted, information travels fast, the news may not travel fast enough since the reviews are out the day before the Thursday showings. This would be bad news for the film's opening weekend if the reviews are good but nobody heard about it until it was too late. I guess this is why Marvel likes to get their reviews out a week beforehand. But on the flip side, if the movie turns out bad, not as many people would have heard about. As such, the average joe would be more inclined to give the film the benefit of the doubt.

All I need to know right now is how good the score is. Dat Glass.
Anton Sugar

WHAT, how did I not know this?? Maybe I just forgot.
This is an original score and not some repurposing of his older themes?
Messypandas

I know right? Bizarre. Not that i'm aware, he's directly involved with a co-composer.
The first trailer made me think this kind of music would be appropriate though

Eh, you had one of my comments in there. I'm basing it off of intensely disliking the previous two FF films and Fox completely wasting Galactus and Doom. I'm not confident in what I'm seeing from this new FF trailer either, and what the fuck are they doing with Doom? It might surprise me but I have little faith they're giving this the support it deserves, and I'd really like to see the characters in the MCU because I think they'll get much better treatment.
Is that a bit better? I don't mean to shitpost. I'll remove myself from the discussions for now.

Not really, it's either insured or a company vehicle. The trucker will be back on the road in a couple of days

Movie could be trash. It doesn't excuse the pettiness of users who want this to fail so that it goes back to Marvel.
Just like a gazillion other movies , people already lined up some kind of opinion about the movie way before its released.
Well, some of it is always necessary... but did it have to be IHOPs and Sears?
And that government satellite at the end was just uncalled for.
But nothing tops this overreaction.
"That guy poured a beer on me... I'm going to RUIN HIS LIFE!"
Clark, clark... Seriously, your mother raised you better than that.
You guys disgust me.
Let's let the guy who harasses women waitress just drive away in his truck to his job.

Clark should've just heat vision the guy's dick instead of messing with his truck.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Eh, it might get old, but I can understand the negative sentiment. Fox continues to treat the FF property with disrespect, changing the story, details, and characters at a whim, when there is a plethora of comic material to draw from instead. This will be yet another movie with a subpar Dr. Doom, arguably one of the best and most interesting characters in all of Marvel. Hell Fox could do a whole movie focused on Doom and if it did the source material and character justice it would be fascinating and a hit. Fox just doesn't seem like they want to bother trying.
I don't hold much hope for this newest incarnation of FF either. Hopefully I'm surprisedly wrong.
... You know, I was going to respond with one of the thousands of comic panels of sexist, classic Superman harassing or shaming Lois, but I had way too much trouble trying to narrow it down.
So, consider this just my blind pick out of a barrel of hilarity.
Hopefully the new Fantastic Four movie doesn't have slap-happy Reed Richards either...

Not to make this a MOS thread but I liked that he destroyed the guy's truck and how that was depicted. The trucker groped a woman and acted like an asshole. MOS goes to great lengths to show that Clark had to repress that urge to strike back out of fear of accidentally killing someone. Showing him destroy that truck shows that he's human too.
Also the trucker probably got insurance out of it.

I don't remember him groping the waitress? I mean, that makes it a bit better, but he still would have been better just humiliating the guy in a 'fight' rather than wrecking his truck and its load, and then he has to stay at the diner for longer as he has no means to leave.
I'd love to see the insurance claim report on that truck
The agent would write on his report "act of god."
If you watch it, the trucker did grab her ass. Also, you could justify Supes not trying to humiliate the guy because he didn't want to bring attention to himself. Say he humiliates the guy, one of his friends sees this and also starts something with him, Supes takes him out in half a second, then everyone starts talking about this giant super strong dude who works at the local shit hole...
It was also just better imagery for him to back off and then cut to the trucker seeing what happened to his truck. It really showed the inner rage Supes could have.

A review presents an opinion. The whole idea that reviews should or can be neutral is fundamentally flawed.

The truck impalement scene is just proof to me of how little thought the writers and director gave to the actual ramifications of all of the destruction they inserted into MoS. Because of the backlash, they've rightly chosen to make lemonade with all of the lemons and turn the Metropolis destruction-fest into a key plot point going forward into BvS, but smaller scenes like the truck impalement are left without the aid of being reframed with some productive purpose or meaning.
Pretty insurance doesn't cover Acts of God, which I am sure the insurance company would try to pass it off as.
Yeah, sort of like an STD.
Though that is off topic... unless the topic is speculation on whether Fantastic Four will be awesome, awful, or MOS-middle-ground.
It's the Godwin's law of comic book movies.
