Most likely, I just don't care about your point.
Meh. Trailer taken down.
No, that's not it. Your reply shows that you don't understand it.
Fox has put it back up themselves. Someone apparently jumped the gun.

Ah. That's better, thanks.
Seems likely to have substantially more going on than the first theatrical film did, which would be an improvement just right there.
Much nicer. The sound syncs better and is clearer so you can actually make out all the dialogue. The color is much brighter.
This movie actually looks really good! I mean visually it looks good. The Thing and the Human Torch--Sue's powers. We finally have a cinematic Invisible Woman whose is powerful and strong.
Much more interested in this now--I will probably wait for the actual reviews first, but I'm interested in this movie for the first time.

Well, that was completely generic. Unfortunately this doesn't look like it will be a fun trainwreck of a bad movie. It looks like it will be a boring mess, so basically more like Superman Returns than Superman III. For the first half of the trailer it looks like it could be a trailer for any generic Sci-Fi film of the last decade. I mean, maybe the movie is better than the trailer would make you think, but it seems to confirm what I've been thinking the movie would be for awhile. Its definitely a "borrow from public library" level movie for me.
I see. Apparently what came out earlier today was a shorter version or a rough edit or something. I liked this version a little better. There's certainly more action footage here, and a few more lines of dialogue. The former was effective, and the latter didn't seem too groanworthy. Here's hoping for the best.
Speaking of dicey dialogue, "It's clobberin' time" would be a real groaner. I'd cheer, though. 
Looking at a lot of old FF comics, it's pretty clear they have to go with the Ultimate version of the characters for many reasons, not least is Reed Richards. Old grey-templed Reed was the Dad in a 50s sitcom, Carl Betz to Sue's Jailbait Donna Reed. He's Bob Dobbs without the pipe.

It also makes sense to further separate this version from the movies of ten years ago. I could do without the standard lines (Flame on being the other) in much the same way I could have done without Green Lantern's oath in that movie.
The dialogue we've seen IS pretty unspectacular but nothing that made me cringe. I also noticed they played down Reeds "strecthy-ness". One moment I did like was Reed's missing the fist bump.
That does look a little better, I saved off the first video, I'll compare them in a bit but this was certainly an improvement if just visually.

Reed's a pipeman too.
Still very, very rare though to the extent of the movies difference between Sue and Bobby...
Bobby could also be bi-racial so his Sue's mom and her biological father split up and she hooled up with Bobby's dad and they had him...
All more likely explenations, though we are talking about the Marvel universe here, so who knows...
In the beginning i was a bit lukewarm about the race-lift of Bobby, now i wish they had done it with Sue and kept Bobby white so in the end we could get a mixed-race couple with Reed and Sue...
The official trailer is quite different yet quite the same as the leaked trailer posted earlier. Nothing earth-shattering looks like just polished and tweaked.
Sometimes a shot of Johnny was substituted for Reed or a closeup shown before exiting the travel chamber and so on. Or one has a closeup and the other doesn't. Little crap like that, I have stupidly extensive notes if anyone is interested.
The most interesting things to me is that the official trailer adds Dr. Storm saying "All I want to know is what happened to my children.".
And Johnny's lowers his chair three times now instead of two.

Crappy photoshop...
Who's Bobby? Do you mean Johnny Storm?
I gather that Sue is adopted in the movie. Still, it's good to know that there are various ways a "mixed-race" family can come about, and it's nowhere near as implausible as some people seem to think.
Trank probably cast Jordan as Johnny because Jordan gave such a strong showing in Trank's Chronicle and Johnny was the most natural character for him to play.
I would've been fine with a "mixed" Reed and Sue; when I try to think of the ideal actor to play Reed Richards, I keep thinking in terms of either Phil Morris or Daniel Dae Kim, although that would require going for a more mature version of the FF. But after all, the long-term consequence of biracial marriages is biracial siblings, so... there ya go.
And I love how Fox still use that "From The Studio That Brought You..." crap. (My fave remains Elektra. "From The Forces That Brought You X-Men!")
Doesn't everyone use that? I've seen Marvel trailers that say "From the studio that brought you Iron Man and Guardians of the Galaxy" and so on.
