Fantastic Four reboot-- Casting, Rumors, Pix, ect;

I just said -- let Marvel handle the creative side. Fox would still produce and profit from the FF films, but they would now be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and benefit from its box-office cachet, and from the seemingly do-no-wrong creative approach of Marvel Studios. Exactly like what's already happening with Spider-Man.

I'd say the difference is that some of the five Spidey films were actually good (I'd say two of them, others would say three) so people will give them another chance. F4 films have been crap all the way down.
 
I also firmly believe that it's ludicrous to act like Constantin and FOX are just going to give the rights back to Marvel if this movie doesn't do well at the BO. What is more likely to happen is that the distribution rights will stay with FOX and they'll turn to their golden boy Bryan Singer to make the sequel since he's proven he knows how to save a franchise.

Or they could do what Sony has done with Spider-Man -- keep the rights, but enter into a co-production deal with Marvel Studios and let them handle the creative side.

I think it's very unlikely that Fox would work with Marvel/Disney in that way. There is almost no goodwill between them.

Hence F4 comics being cancelled, X-Title writers not being allowed create major new characters and merchandise contracts for both properties being terminated en masse.

I think those first two are rumors that have been debunked. Marvel cancels and restarts titles all the time, and the claim about being unable to create new X-characters was based on a misunderstanding by the person who said it, IIRC. I don't know anything about the merchandising.
 
35 people reviewed the Fantastic to generate that %9

All they need is 29 positive reviews, and no more negative reviews and they're at %50

:)

The sample is way too small to be accurate.

But then, only 233 people reviewed the Incredibles.

That seems low?

Ant-Man is at %80 from 233 reviews.

So.

That's small.

Wait?

It's not open to the public.

Hobbyist assholes can't review, only professional assholes.

:D

"And I thought I couldn't hate Andrea from The Walking Dead any more."

So what this means that 33 reviews is 1/7th of the final accounting on this movie, so it is nearly a reasonably large sample after all.
 
Meanwhile...

Wouldn't it be awesome if it settled at 4%?
 
First, I have no desire to see FF in the theater. Redbox is fine. Second, I live in Nashville and was actually finally planning on going and seeing Fury Road at the theater this weekend where the guy with the hatchet was yesterday... No more.
I'm also in Nashville. The last film I saw at that $2.50 all shows discount theater was Kingsman back in June.
I wouldn't be surprised if this event doesn't just entirely close that theater all together.
However, I'm not letting one person with an illness and their actions stop me from going to the movies(not sure if that's wholly what you mean or just that theater).


I'm waiting to hear Dennis review this film. I'm guessing he still intends to go. He seemed to be the biggest champion of this film in this thread. Saying it looked better than the Marvel Studio films among other things.
 
I'd do it myself, but (a) I'd feel hypocritical, since I have no intention of seeing it, and (b) whatever passes for the film's fanbase probably wouldn't be amused by the facetious polling options that I have in mind.

Really? We should get a beer sometime and talk Trek.

And I've only been here for a little less than 2 years. Never made it out to Antioch for a movie. And ultimately, I'm not going to let it bother me. But going to that theater and that movie? Yeah. Something morbid about that.
 
Just to update and correct:

Current RT scores:

Fantastic Four 2015 8%
Fantastic Four 2005 27%
Fantastic Four 1994 33%
F4 Rise of the Silver Surfer 37%

I know they weren't great movies, but I still think the Tim Story movies at least deserve to be in the 40-50% range.

And yikes, that's a really low score for the new movie. I don't doubt there's probably a bit of piling on happening with the critics, but regardless it's pretty clear that the movie just doesn't seem to work on any level.
 
My 31" Darth Vader sitting in my corner says I'm a frivolous spender.

There's frivolous spending and then there's telling a movie studio "make crap and I'll pay you." The latter is part of the reason so many movies these days are so bad.
