It looks good but not good enough to get my butt into the theater. Though in all fairness to F4 I rarely go to the theater these days. I usually wait for cable or I blind buy it when it hits blu-ray.
Fantastic Four reboot-- Casting, Rumors, Pix, ect;
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
This is going to bomb.
Hard.
Hard.
What I have never got, is some consideration that Susan needs to be cured, which I don't think has ever come up before before this trailer.
Isn't that the same as going to the cinema? And you get to keep it and watch it over and over if you liked it, unlike the cinema.
Edit: I forgot, ticket prices aren't so high in the US as they are here in Australia, where we get royally fucked. I just looked it up. Average ticket price US: $8.13. My ticket to see Ant-Man: $24.70 That includes an online booking fee...so I have to pay more for the service that is automated than if I buy a ticket from the box office, sold to me by some knob who pulls down a full-time wage. How does that make any sense?
I don't do it that often and so far I've really not been disappointed.. I'm pretty good at knowing I'll like a movie without seeing it. Plus I usually wait a few months and buy them when they're the same price more or less as a movie ticket.
I was expecting this to hearken back to F4's original Kirby run. A monster movie with some horror elements. That's how Trank has sold it. And the I was excited by the 1st 2 trailer. This last trailer makes me think it's more MCU than Monster flick.
Also, some of that CGI is bad. Anyone catch that explosion when Thing threw the tank turret at the ground? It just poofed like in some 90s B quality sci-fi flick.

I did. It looked like when ships explode in TNG, where the ship just disappears.

They're high enough here. More and more, IMAX/3D showings are crowding out vanilla ones for films like this, so you have limited options if you don't want to pay $15-$20 for a ticket. And let's not forget the food/drink prices, if you can't hold out and don't smuggle in your own.
The CGI we get in trailers is often unfinished and less detailed than the final shots. There have been movies in the past (including one of the Hulk movies, I think) where people complained about the low-resolution CGI in the trailers, but then the final shots in the movie were better. That's just the way CGI shots work -- they start out with less detail and get more detail added with each pass. So a trailer may include unfinished CG shots that have almost but not quite enough detail.
I normally would be saying the exact same thing you are if it wasn't for the fact the movie was 3 weeks away upon release of the trailer, and this was the FINAL trailer. Not the 1st trailer. I'm a little less apprehensive if they still had a year of rendering, and the 1st trailer has some obviously unfinished shots. But there was a lot of bad CGI in this final trailer, and it's less than 3 weeks away from wide release. They are going to be screening it for the press before that. So it is pretty much the finished product already. With only minor tweaks between now and then.
I want this movie to be amazing. I would love a Fox MCU. But I am very worried about this movie now with this last trailer; Both tonally and production quality.
Do you get FX, FXM or FXX? I'm sure this will be run on those channels, possibly without commercials, so why bother to pay to rent it.
Because I love comic books. Just like I love Star Wars and Star Trek. Is it so wrong that I care if they're good? Maybe you don't care. But I find it hard to believe someone is incapable of understanding why others might care.
And if you read my comment, I mentioned both tonally and production quality. I'm sorry but those are huge CGI gaffe's I saw in just a small trailer. If the final TRAILER in just over 2 minutes of footage has that many, I can only imaging how much the finished product has.
I thought we weren't supposed to notice that....

I'm going to guess the blue uniforms and maybe Thing's pants show up in the end of the movie, ala Captain Kirk's golden uniform in the 09 Star Trek film.
I do find it kind of weird that at least the current trailer for the film shows the Thing with Jaime Bell's regular voice. I'm used to the gravelly-voiced thing with a touch of New York accent from pretty much every animated version/movie adaptation beforehand (and pretty much how I guess he'd sound when reading the comics). I wonder if he'll even say "It's Cloberring time!" at all....(We haven't even got a decent "Avengers Assemble" in those movies yet!).

^When I read the comics, the voices in my head for the FF are still the ones from the '90s FF cartoon. Even though the '90s FF cartoon was awful.

It's kind of weird, that the Fantastic Four, the group who kind of jump started Marvel in the 60s, and although they've had a few good comic runs since, when it comes to crossing over to other media, the results are usually less than spectacular.
Speaking of FF crossovers into... err.. other media: ComicsAlliance's Matt Singer actually committed to eating every item on Denny's Fantastic Four tie-in menu (so we don't have to?), and liveblogged about it.
I thought it was a pretty good trailer and I'm looking forward to seeing it. I like the look of The Thing but I do wish he was at least wearing some trunks. I'm also a little disappointed that it looks like we won't be getting a very faithful representation of Dr. Doom. I just want to see him in all his Kirby glory!
