So now they'll give it another try.

And folks will line up for it again.

Well that Corman flick wasn't made to be seen.
It was made to keep the licensing or some such legal nonsense.


And I will not line up unless it is a respectful FF film deserving of the characters.

After Crystal Skull, I have some pretty hard rules now before I pay to see something.

Daredevil needs to be R rated and is certainly worthy of more films with both Bullseye and Kingpin please.

I wrote a script before they originally made the first FF movie.
I had Ben Grimm being played by MCD
The Storms were like the Kennedys.
Sue Storm was a !%&!%&!%&!%&!%&.
Johnny Storm was a womanizer.
Reed was a Nancy boy.
And do to Sue's infidelity Reed had a split personality and was Dr Doom as well.

Except Disney doesn't really do R movies. I remember they got flack when Miramax, one of their affiliate studios, started releasing R movies that parents didn't like. So now Miramax do mostly the art house kinda stuff.
But if Disney does let Marvel Films (assuming they keep that moniker) do a rebooted R-rated DD movie, they can look at the Blade example -- Spend roughly $40 million to get back $100 million. But DD doesn't have vampires or werewolves. It would be a gritty urban drama with some unsavory heavies. I say dump "Aflac", put Bullseye and DD in comic-accurate costumes, add a super sexy and lethal Elektra, a comic-accurate Kingpin surrounded by ruthless and colorful thugs, create some moody atmosphere, don't skimp on the violence or inferred violence, and see what happens.

I agree - I love me some Alba - but ahe did not come off well as Sue Storm.

TIH was not a Box office Failure

The FF always felt (to me, anyway) like an scifi adventure book with villains. I'd love to see a reboot. If done correctly, Dr. Doom could be as popular as Darth Vader.

Too soon, we need time to forget and time to heal.

Preach it!

Fox had to do another movie in order to keep the movie rights. I don't think Disney is ever going to get Spiderman, X-Men or Fantastic 4 back.
