Had big shoes to fill to be as good as Fantastic Four 2005
Fantastic 4 should be so fucking easy to write a film script for. They can go to space, under the sea, other dimensions. They can be superheros, explorers, adventurers, time travellers.
The sky is the limit and you have one of Marvels best villians to put against them.
HOW DO YOU KEEP FUCKING IT UP!!

Maybe one who doesn't want film execs looming over him?
C'mon. Trank voluntarily leaving was such obvious bullshit spin.
Dude was fired.

Toby Kebbell did an interview with IGN. The most interesting tidbit was that Toby had no control or influence on how Doctor Doom was done beyond the voice.
Well, the chances I'm seeing this are almost nil, so don't worry there. I only go to movies that I REALLY want to see, that my wife or daughter want to see, or that friends want to see. I don't see this movie fitting into any of those slots.

Lol, ridiculous
Art is so subjective that this would not hold up in court at all. Maybe if it was direct to dvd and directed by uwe boll or some shit
As shit as this movie sounds some of you marvel guys are pretty corny with these fanboy posts. I trust neoxon is picketing his local theater right now...

Had a bad feeling about this movie for a while. Guess I'll let you guys know how bad it is tomorrow night.

Why not?
If you want the F4 to be done right (I.E. by Marvel Studios), it'd be best if you avoid the movie. Granted, it's your choice, but I'm just giving my two cents.
That being said, F4 is at 22% on RT. The positive review was by Little White Lies.
I guess the name of the site is fitting.David Jenkins of Little White Lies said:

Ah, so it's a "give it back to Marvel" type reasoning. Sounds petty.
Keep in mind that I was hoping that Fox could pull through. This movie is proof that Fox doesn't know how to make a good Fantastic Four movie.

Does Marvel know how to make good super movies or meh super hero movies? Again it's petty. Should Marvel give up the rights to Thor? They've yet to make a good Thor movie. What about Iron Man? They've made 3 Iron Man movies and 2 were really, really average and borderline just bad.
I guess he studied at the Armond White School of "Movie Critique"
Guardians of the Galaxy & Winter Soldier alone prove that Marvel knows how to make good comic book movies. Marvel Studios has a great track record & are more than capable of getting the F4 right. Hell, they made Guardians of the Galaxy a household brand.
Basically this.

Meh is better than awful
most Marvel movies are pretty good, Ant-man being the best one this year.
You can't be serious. Look at their track record with obscure IPs like Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man compared to Fox's record with the FF.

Which is weird reasoning since they have more than just those two movies. Thor 1, 2, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, 3, Captain America: The First Avenger, Age of Ultron.
Can Marvel give away these rights? They're clearly not competent films.

They are all good. Some are just higher on the good scale.

There's a difference between disappointing & bad. AoU was disappointing, but still pretty good. Thor 1 & Cap 1 were decent, Incredible Hulk was okay, & Iron Man 3 is better than most give it credit for. The only movies that you may have a point on are Thor 2 & Iron Man 2.
I don't see the problem.
Yeah, okay. So anyways...
Let's talk about older siblings and the abuse they inflict on their younger counterparts.

I feel bad that Michael B. Jordan is in this.
And Kate Mara.
And Miles Teller.
I'm not rooting for the movie to fail or anything but reading through some posts it hadn't dawned on me right away what consists of the FF universe and how awesome a lot of it would be in the MCU.

All of those are good movies, minus maybe the third being meh and iron man 2 being bad.
Fox has made 3 fantastic four movies and all of them were terrible.

I don't think I've ever seen a marvel movie in the mcu that was just plain terrible. The closest maybe was thor 2
It's pretty clear now that fox has no idea what they are doing with this franchise. Hell at least Sony made 2 good spiderman movies

I'm not seeing this movie because it's a crappy movie.
Even the MCU's subpar films like Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk and Thor 2 are watchable and not horrible films.
Marvel Studios has not made a truly bad film yet.

You would think people would be upset with disappointing movies but not with Marvel movies. This is why it's petty. Marvel movies, by their fandom, get a pass (just like any other fandom) so when you hear remarks regarding giving it back to Marvel it comes off as petty.
Marvel has made 2 Thor movies and they were bad. Can Marvel give away the rights away already? This logic only goes one way: straight to Marvel.

A studio doesn't spend $100M+ on a film with no expectations of success.
And the reviews actually back it up. AoU got a 74% on RT & a Certified Fresh badge, none of which are things a bad movie can get. And people were disappointed by AoU, but that's because it came after a stellar 2014 (Guardians & Winter Soldier) with super-high expectations. Yeah, Marvel could have done better, but it was still a solid movie.
And again, I was one of the people who were hoping that Fox could pull through & make a good movie with the F4 reboot. I guess I just didn't see the writing on the wall.
Well, it is their material. Not sure what you're trying to say here.

I like the Thor movies....they aren't bad, maybe just okay, but not bad.

Weird that one of the worst grouping of super heroes would make for a bad movie.
I'm not sure if you're doing your best Drax impression or just playing along.
The Fantastic Four is the First Family of Marvel for a reason (in the comics). At the very least, go read the Hickman run.
Given Marvel's track record for villains I dont think you would see any improvement in Doom's portrayal at least if the rights were to shift.
The Thor movies are not bad though. Neither is Age of Ultron.

Hey look, somebody who can't tell the difference between "mediocre" or "bad".
RT Scores:
Thor: 77%
Thor 2: 66%
Iron Man 2: 72%
Iron Man 3: 79%
Captain America: 79%
Age of Ultron: 74%
Fantastic Four: 20%
Here we learn the difference between what you like and what a lot of people are saying about a film you haven't seen yet. Consensus bro.

That the rights go one way and no one is critical of Marvel movies to the point where they want the rights given to someone else. I understand Marvel owns the rights, but it's petty to want the rights given back if the movie is bad considering Marvel does have bad movies.
Then you & I have very different definitions of bad. Allow me to use a fellow GAFer's post as proof of my point.
They may as well not exist and it would not make a difference, The point is Marvel has made plenty of turds.
Are you Bizzaro?
