Fantastic Four (2015)

[DanTheMan]

Holy crap! Stuckmann ripped that sucker to shreds.

Guess I'm skipping out on this in theaters, and waiting for a rental instead.

I've been telling people for a year that they will come to cherish those first two films after this one. They're silly, but they knew what they were.

Marvel: Takes toy and puts it in a safe place
FOX: "Well aren't you going to play with it"?
Marvel: "No, I just don't want you to mess it up"

If they were to get the rights back, I wouldn't mind them producing a FF Netlix series. I hope audiences aren't completely turned off by the FF after this film. Of course we have yet to see what the weekend results are.

I don't know what it is with Marvel and their series. I like Daredevil far more than AOS but after episode 6 I just stopped caring. Haven't even had the want to see Agent Carter. Their small scale stuff is just not up to par. I will finish DD at some point because I'm pumped to see Castle in the next season.

I loved most of Daredevil, thought Agent Carter was just alright, and pretty much force myself to keep up with AoS. Three or four episodes build up on my DVR before I even think about watching it. The reason I mentioned Netflix is because it would give them more freedom to play with the characters for more than 2 hours, but they wouldn't have to push out another big screen version for people to compare to the previous three. Hell, it worked for them with one ex-Fox property. Now they're bringing Elektra and Punisher into season 2. And that's not even mentioning the other couple of shows they already have coming before DD S2. Netflix seems like the hotspot for their reacquired characters, and it doesn't have to force grittiness to fit in.

Catwoman still exists so let's not jump to any conclusions just yet.

I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm trying to drop watching TV at all because I have so many films to catch up on. Since 24, Justified, and Strike Back are now over, the only thing I REALLY feel the need to watch is Manhattan when it starts its second season. I think I've grown an animosity towards episodic structures in some way. Will say I've gone through 6 seasons of Seinfeld in a month though as I can't get enough of it. Anyways back on topic... we've seen a few critical flops make decent money so I can't help but wonder if that happens here, what will the outcome be? They know they have a hated money maker so will they shelve it, sell it, try to cash in with another rush job, or hold back and try to make a better film? This is going to be a very interesting examination on how the market works no doubt.

Catwoman RT 9%

Fantastic Four RT 12%

There's only a 3% difference! Come on Fantastic Four, you can do it!

I watched Stuckman's review and watched a few others and they are all trashing this movie. Lol

Yeah, that was bad! The Schmoes aren't much more enthusiastic.

FANTASTIC FOUR MOVIE REVIEW - YouTube

[Edword]

I feel like seeing this, but don't want it to get any money. Maybe I'll buy a ticket for Ant-Man and see FF4

[Kaiju]

Jeez... I was one of the few that defended this... and now the reviews are pouring in and I'm wondering if I was mistaken. It looks like a decent sci-fi movie, and I will check it out, but I'm really discouraged after seeing all these disastrous reviews.

[worldchmps]

Got a code for up to $8 off with buying Days Of Future Past. Wanted to see it. Then saw the reviews. Then didn't. But for basically free, what the heck. Why not, right?

If they gets the rights back, I fully expect Marvel will make room for FF in Phase 5 and 6.

That would be awesome if that happened. So many good villains they could use as well! Maybe they can get a Sony/Spider-Man kind of deal going if nothing else.

I'll be dead from either alcohol poisoning or cirrhosis by then so it won't matter to me. I just want to see Infinity War and I'll be happy.

Not necessarily. Have hope, look how quickly Spider-Man was sorted out and rostered into the MCU. If a deal is hammered out after this movie has finished tanking, things could move at a reasonable pace. You never know with these greedy studio clowns, anything is possible.
