Torch snuffs FF3

Well, the FF comics always tended to be on the "light & fluffy" side compared to most others, so a family-oriented tone makes sense for a movie.

My biggest beefs with the movies were the pathetic villains: Hurricane Galactus & Dr. Metrosexual Yuppie. To be fair, I don't think Julian McMahon's a bad actor, just woefully miscast.

Anybody else remember when Alexis Denisof and Charlize Theron were going to be cast as Reed and Sue in a FF movie done in the style of "A Hard Day's Night?" That's the movie I would've loved to have seen.

The Fantastic 4 movies were ok.. they were huge dissapointments in most people's eyes, and they also were in mine. I enjoyed Chris Evans and Ian a lot. Alba sucked like she does in every movies she's ever made... and Chiklis was "ok" but I feel like he tried too hard as the Thing.

Obviously they're not going to "reboot" this franchise until at least 5-10 years down the line. They just pumped out 2 pretty successful films at the box office, and they can't just overhaul and entire franchise that already has 2 films done, with a cast full of names.
No matter how much you bitch and moan it's just not going to happen.

Once Marvel's Hulk "reboot" tanks at the box office just like the first one, they're going to have to take a long and interesting look at some of their films. Maybe hire a writer or director that can really make these films work. (Nolan/Singer/Raimi)... and while you're at it, maybe hire actors that can actually.. i dunno, act?? Not just eye-candy for their pop mobiles. Actors like, I dunno.. Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, Christian Bale, Tom Wilkinson.. that list goes on and on. The only "pop" eye-candy actress was Katie Holmes who quickly got replaced after an unconvincing turn as Rachel Dawes.

But then again, it didn't look like Fantastic Four was taking itself too seriously, and clearly it tried a little too hard in the second one (with alba dieing, the world ending, their powers switching).

It all comes down to this: Comic books are meant to be comic books.

Some characters can work brilliantly in CINEMA. I.E. Batman, Superman, X-Men, Spider-Man, Sin City.. these are all comics and graphic novels turned great movies. Because they have the depth to their characters that can be explored and sought out. Some just won't last as movies.. The Hulk, Fantastic Four, Aquaman, The Flash. That's really all it comes down to.

Crap movies that had the capacity of ending up good shouldn't, by common sense, be acceptable.

Can't some people just accept that fact that sometimes movies just suck, and you don't need to go around tossing out buzzwords like "Reboot" every time one of them comes out?

even if they did make it it's bad news for fans of the shield, chiklis please finish the shield.

Both Fantastic Four and Spider-Man, yes, Spider-Man, deserves a second shot in the form of reboots. Both flicks has obvious flaws and done right, they could be awesome. They should be treated with the same respect as Iron Man and the Hulk.

I don't want to see Galactus in a Silver Surfer spin off. Put him in a FF reboot instead, along with the surfer.

Oh, did I mention Daredevil? That one _really_ needs a reboot bad...

Not for nothing, but couldn't the reason why he hasn't heard anything about plotlines for FF3 be because of the writers strike for the past few months?

After two successful movies, I'm sure Marvel will be looking for the trilogy. Chances are that we'll hear more when Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk come out.

Read the blog on MTV.com just to see what was up with this and he did say he was willing to do a cameo as the Human Torch in another movie. I am cool with this but really, what other movie could he show up in? Spider-Man 4 might not happen seeing as how number three pretty muched sucked, and he wouldn't fit into any other movie with out a good deal of explination to go along with it. I think that the Fantistic Four are done for now.

To include the following quote from Evans, which should clarify for you: “It takes up a lot of time. It’s a big commitment,” he said. “I’m happy with walking away.”

If there's one comic book franchise that needs a reboot it's the fantastic 4. If they stick close to the comic book this time it could be great, for a start Doctor Doom should be A 'Latverian' meglomaniac with diplomatic imunity not some american pretty boy former friend of the FF, The invisible woman should not be a 20-something latin american in a blonde wig and The Thing should be looking like he does in the comics: at least 7 foot tall and made of STONE not rubber! The comics have been one of the most popular titles for over 40 years and to alter the characters and the look for a movie is just stooopid...

Y'know, as bad as the FF movies were (and, wow, were they bad...they seemed more like sitcoms than movies), I actually found Evans to be entertaining in both of 'em. So, best of luck to him.

But, seriously, what was with Gruffudd's dopey, drippy Reed...and Alba's [link] Sue...and Chiklis' consistently underwhelming Ben...and McMahon's used-car-salesman interpretation of 'Vic'? $#!+.
