It's a big get to have the director of a superhero movie during release week, particularly for a show that's about superheroes and superhero movies.
A sports film coming out during awards season by a critically acclaimed director? It's got a shot for some awards love, unless the stigma from all the Rocky sequels hold it back.

Woooah, this really works
I'll watch this movie when its free and I'm very inebriated
Didn't Rocky Balboa get a lot of favorable reviews? I think that film took a lot of people by surprise, since it was a much more somber affair than the films since the first one had been.

after that corny bum-fight in V, Balboa's ending was much needed. Almost got a bit teary when he walks out of the ring at the end of balboa. He definitely repaired the brand with that one.

Glad to hear the best Fantastic 4 movie is still The Incredibles.
I guess it's because Marvel brought out 2 S-Tier movies (Winter Soldier & Guardians) last year, on top of a solid showing from Fox via DoFP. Having this year with only B-Tier & A-Tier movies from Marvel (AoU & Ant-Man respectively) while Fox screwed the pooch is a disappointment in comparison.

Yes it is. If you dropped a bowling ball and a tennis ball from the same height, they will hit the ground at the same time.

Can't believe we are having this discussion in 2015.
Anyone who's passed middle school physical sciences knows this.

the guy who watched the movie did compare the big accident in F4 to The Fly so I guess the element is still there but I'm skeptical.
I'll check out that scene on youtube tho for sure because I'm curious
Wasn't he replying to a guy that said if they were the same weight?
2014 was a hard year to top, hence why I said calm before the storm. Because next year...holy shit.
I just wanna sneak in to this and see the trainwreck/snoozefest.

More like writers/ the studio don't know how to adapt it.
It's a difficult property to do justice to admittedly, as you can either go too goofy, or attempt grimdark. Neither suit the property- you need a careful blend. Family and fun; epic scale and high stakes. Studios usually only work in extremes.
Then there's the fact that Dr. Doom is treated like a one-dimensional villain from the 60s comics and you've got yourself another bomb.

I hope Fox abandons the property after this. I really don't want endless terrible Fantastic Four movies just so they can hang on to it.
Honestly, if Fox does hold on to it, I'd really kind of like to see it as like a family-friendly 3D movie. That really does seem like a good fit for it. Fantastic Four needs a venue where it can spread out and have fun with itself, and throw a few winks and nods at the audience.
He's gotta fill time somehow.

Which is funny considering it's an origin movie also.

lol I don't know why, and I'm sure this isn't the case, but sometimes you sound butthurt that they even have an audience.
This is too bad, though. I thought this could end up being an underrated hero flick along the lines of Ang Lee's HULK, but it seems it'll just be bland but just offensive enough to keep people talking about it.
Still, not as fucking ridiculous as Fantastic Four: RotSS's 90 minute runtime back then.
Yup, a Silver Surfer and Galactus level problem solved in the span of a long work commute.

That is bullshit.

There was the Roger Corman film...
Sure, it was so bad they never even released it... but that doesn't mean it wasn't made.

I just made fun of (me) this myself the other day when I linked to one of their videos in the Resident Evil thread.
It's less them, and more the a specific (loud) segment of their audience.

Gotta feel for those F4 fans that have been waiting for a great F4 film.

17% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Pixels is at 18%.
Ouch.

I'm not even a Fantastic Four fan. I think the team is just a tad too campy and old-fashioned for me.
... But their comic license is tied to insanely great characters I DO love, like The Silver Surfer, Kang the Conquerer, Super-Skrull, and my favorite villain of all time, Dr. Doom.
FOUR movies, and we have NEVER seen THIS guy done justice:
Ugh. He's just such a GREAT VILLAIN.
That better not be fuckin Hokuto No Ken.
