THANK YOU GOD....
Did MARVEL and FOX finally come to their senses? Looks like it. I call for a reboot of this franchise after the stench of the first two fades away, which could take some time. While they're at it how about another crack at DAREDEVIL and GHOST RIDER?? There's always room for improvement... |

I never bothered with the FF movies (okay, caught part of the first one on HBO one time).
But I think, in particular for Evans, this is a good thing. Now people can actually enjoy the good work he's turning out and not just think of him for his obnoxious role there. |

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. |

Reboot. The FF movies sucked when they could have been the best Marvel adaptions filmed. But Nooo... they had to be cute and clownish. Reboot. |

I DUNNO
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? |

I'm not sure how many people over the age of 12 were especially excited about the prospect of a third FANTASTIC FOUR movie, but that possibility seems to have dissipated like a giant cloud of Galactus.
