My favorite comic book franchise in the hands of total morons. Yay. So great to be a fan these days. Yay.

And even if that does happen, it's just a pain in the ass that at best it will take four years to finally get a decent Fantastic Four movie on the big screen -- that's provided this movie tanks, FOX throws in the towel, the negotiations go relatively quickly and smoothly and Marvel actually gets behind fast tracking a reboot when they've already got a full slate. Plus knowing Fox they will act like d!ckheads, make ridiculous demands like asking for Iron Man or some big pile of money and try to drag out the process. They could even wait until the very last minute of their contract option to let it lapse. But the worst thing would be if this abomination of the FF finds an audience and pulls in a decent haul. It could happen. 95% of the audience won't know or won't care about cannon, and the international market can surprise. So I wouldn't start planning the demise just yet. And you know if it does hit Fox will be walking around smug as a bug and Marvel will actually be trying to figure out what to do with the comic.


Alas, I would not underestimate the Twilight, Divergent, and Hunger Games audience... It seems like they'll support any movie with a misunderstood or angst ridden teen in it.

Starting to think that the 2 most recent FF movies are gonna be about as good as they get, for at least the next 15-20 years. Start getting used to a Silver Surfer with an overbite people.

'The Fantastic Four' Movie Details, Images, Easter Eggs, Tone, and More
I am probably one of the few who is still optimistic about this movie and after reading this interview my optimism has shot up.

Continue with the blind hatred for this movie along with ill will towards Josh Trank and boycott the movie if needed. In the mean time I urge you all to read this whole interview.

I don't see how it's blind hatred when there is plenty that's been shown to hate, if anything i'd say you have a blind optimism since you seem a bit set to like it despite what you've seen

What official pics of cast/costumes/trailer have been revealed so far? If you are going by the casting alone, then I guess that's reason enough for some.

And I had no expectations with Chronicle and that movie turned out great. So my optimism largely stems from the involvement of Trank and Kinberg.

none of the above, so I suppose the "blind" part is true. but there has been more then enough actual info to illicit reasonable hate from Fantastic Four fans. but then as I said what have you seen to not have an equally blind sense of optimism?

Just updated my post to reflect that answer, but I can understand if that won't suffice as enough reasoning either.
