Fantastic Four: Grade, Review, Discuss, Sequels?...SPOILERS likely

Future-You is going to see it on cable in 5 years and think "Bugger. The remote is too far away."

 

Wait. Did you just really try to defend this movie by saying it's better than a Michael Bay movie ?

 

I am not defending anything I am just going by what I read/saw today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2jbcnVG7n8 but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBDWLETsDxU Grace seems to think it isn't a total stinker!

I have to be honest I liked the 2 Transformers that everyone hated 2 & 4.

 

I haven't read that anywhere.

 

Michael makes impossibly profitable movies, therefore we are wrong and stupid.

 

"It isn't a total stinker..."
They can put that review on the Dvd box

 

Keep looking!

Great article from the "Observation Deck" blog, "How to Make a Fantastic Four Movie". Pretty much nails it.

 

Wow, Trank has disowned this already.

It'd be nice to see a straight take on Doom and Luthor on the big screen at least once.

 

I agree with what it and a lot of other things are saying -- that the origin is the least interesting part of the Fantastic Four's story. What matters is not how they got their powers, but what they do with them and how they lead their lives as a superpowered celebrity adventurer family. Which is probably why I like Rise of the Silver Surfer better than the '05 movie -- it's the only FF movie that isn't an origin story.

Did he close his twitter account?

 

Eh, I'm betting that a Trank controlled version of the movie without interference wouldn't have set the world on fire either, although from reviews of the movie I doubt it would have been worse.

No posts from today though... hmmm

I'm not an expert on Twitter but is it normal for the two post images to have different times?

 

Trank deleted the post 5 minutes after putting it up. But major news sites like Deadline and Variety have picked up on the story.

http://deadline.com/2015/08/fantast...robably-never-see-my-good-version-1201494517/

I'm assuming it's different time zones.

 

Jeremy Jahns and Chris Stuckmann hated it.

ahhh, makes sense

 

What an asinine comment to post. Nobody forced him to take the job and he should have been less naive about the studio's expectations. He wasn't making an art film.

Wheadon managed to do two excellent films despite numerous restrictions and expectations from the studio.

PS: I've read and watched the reviews now. This is like watching a train wreck. It's horrible but I can't look away.

 

I'm thinking the same. Maybe it would have been more consistant (based on what I've heard), but it sounds like it still would have been a pretty big, "Eh" either way.

Bland and humorless are pretty much the two worst things you can do to the FF.

At least three years before X3, actually. Daredevil had one too.

 

Somewhere, Adam Sandler is breathing a sigh of relief, knowing he doesn't have to worry about sweeping the Golden Raspberries for once
