All the impressions make this movie sound awful so far, but as motivations go, that's not too far off from Ultron.
Then again, Ultron also sucked as a villain.
The people of Earth are Doom's to rule, not destroy.
Fuck off Fox. Fuuuucckkk offffffff.

Nihilism as a villain motivation is so basic and played out. At least Ultron was an evil robot so you could give him that.
Ultron was a God-fearing robot for some reason, but that alone was more interesting to dwell about than what I'm hearing about Doom so far.
Where is your god now, Kinberg?

Ultron also had a fixation with God and evolution which at least makes him an interesting evil robot. Doom is so much more though

Yeah, Ultron was interesting in a "huh, that's an interesting concept, I wonder what they'll do with it" way, except they didn't do anything interesting with it.
Doom sounds...not even that "good".
Still might see it because I'm really curious, but having sat through Chappie last week, I don't know if I can take another boring-ass movie.

Thinking about the "Clobberin' Time" thing - one of these reviewers would've said something about that shit. It's probably a joke.
Probably.
Probably.

Oh you've got to be shitting me.
thanks mr. kinberg for clearing that up
Maybe the characters in this movie will be likeable?
I hope it's real!!!
Saw this earlier tonight at a preview thingy.
I'ts a very very average film. Like it's not awful or anything, the actors are fine, the dialogue is fine, the directing is OK, but there's not a whole lot of chemistry between the leads, there's poor attempts at humour and barely any heart and worst of all, it's just not very exciting. There's only one key action scene at the end that lasts about fifteen mins where we get to see them using their abilities.
Doom is a really good villain, but we only get to see him for about ten minutes!
It just spends too long setting it all up/them getting their powers. It would have been a much better film if there was another big set piece in the middle, but nope. No stan Lee cameo either
Also quite oddly that key scene from the trailer where they're all in the helicopter and The Thing is all like "yeah look what I can do" and jumps off to smash into a building, isn't even in it??!!
I really think this will go down as one of the least memorable Marvel films, it doesn't do anything original or exciting enough to stand out. It's just a waste of time. Suddenly not too bothered about Josh Trank dropping out the Star Wars film now.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
My goodness this movie is going to be such hot trash. Hard pass. That Doom spoiler a few posts up
Say what you will about the previous FF films but they were campy fun at least. Plus they had Chris Evans, and a movie WITH Chris Evans >>>>> a movie WITHOUT him. So glad he got off this sinking ship of a franchise (he and the old cast were contracted for a 3rd film that thankfully never happened).
Then again I've always seen Fantastic Four as a joke series, even in the comics so I'm not surprised their cinematic outings aren't on the level of Cap, X-men, GotG, etc.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Sorry I should probably say I'm not a huge comic fanboy or anything so when I say Doom is a good villain, I mean it for three reasons,
1) I liked that he killed people in a nasty way.
2) He had a cool deep voice that brought back happy memories of queuing for his ride at Universal Studios.
3) I thought he looked pretty badarse.
But yeah, as I said he's only on for ten minutes so his character is severely underdeveloped which I imagine will piss off a lot of enthusiasts.
And yeah those lines of dialogue are said in the film, but they didn't make me cringe as much as you think they would when you see them written down here.
It's just too short! And I'd say a good 60 minutes of the running time is just set in that boring science lab.

Seriously, that just pisses me off. Got a link to that review though? I'd hate to get mad over a hoax.
Edit: I see the link above thanks.

This movie is pun intended doomed isn't it?

Oh fuck, I didn't even realize that was Film Brain's Twitter.
You're right, the line isn't so bad in the film. It didn't even register as being that cheesy or anything when I heard it.
And you're right on the second front too, it is more mediocre than outright bad. It's just a wasted opportunity more than anything.
They seriously planned a sequel for this?
Actually, I was reading "2017 in film" on Wikipedia after realizing this and saw "Untitled Terminator Genisys sequel". Hollywood needs to stop counting their chickens before they hatch. Marvel only announced everything to 2019 because they knowingly print money.

I hope this film goes over so poorly for Fox that it damages the X-men brand.
They should have just given Marvel a reasonable price to buy the rights back and put that money into a project they cared about or believed in rather than shit out a IP rights placeholder to be spiteful pricks.
Thank you for your impressions of the film. I do find it interesting that you think Doom looks badass in this because his look in the film (from what was shown in trailers anyway) was derided practically 100% of the time. Is that his only form? Spoiler tag if necessary.
we need a gritty origin for "Hulk Smash!"

Now I know why Fox is putting the Deadpool trailer in front of this film.
It's a last desperate attempt to get people to see this potential disaster.
Opening weekend is projected at $40-50 million who wants to bet that estimate is going down after all these horrible reviews?
Not looking forward to Friday what a fucking mess.

we need a "It's Clobberin time!" "No, bro! No!" edit here
The box office numbers for the movie's opening weekend are likely gonna go down since the reviews got out early.

That doesn't really work anymore. At least not in a world where trailers pop up online. Shit, isn't the Deadpool trailer going up tonight?
