"So, is anyone planning on watching Fantastic 4?" Topic

With a month before its release is anyone planning on seeing this?

The fact that Fox has placed an embargo on online reviews until the day before it is released and on print reviews until day of release does not bode well.

The trailer looks awesome – and I'm pretty sure it'll be better than the previous FF4 films, so, yeah I'll be there !

Embargoes like that are common these days, but yeah not a sign of confidence.

Still keen on my part.

Not a fan of superhero movies.

No, and what with the trailers trying so very hard to be "awesome to the max" (listen to the music they use: edgy-cool hip-hoppy stuff these instances is always a bad sign), I think it'll be bad. But people flock to see Michael Bay's, uh, stuff, so who knows- maybe it'll make a mint. They have already spent a FORTUNE on target market TV channels, and THIS far out!

But I want it to fail, and rights to revert to Disney, who clearly know what they're doing.

And no, I won't be going, and I doubt I'll ever watch it.

I'm probably not going to go see it.

I suppose the director's name (Trank) is another bad sign.

Nope. They changed too much cannon for my tastes.

Meh.

Damon.

I plan to see it.

Looks like a tone-deaf adaptation of one of my least favorite comics; so, no.

Ron

yes

Nope. I really liked the original FF4 team, still have a lot of my 60's FF4 comics, but not a fan of this latest incarnation. I will pass.

Nope.

didnt like the first one, dont wanna be disappointed again.

Probably, I love the FF and at least the Thing is CGI not a guy in a rubber suit!

I won't be seeing it. I get annoyed by superhero relaunch movies that recycle the same villains. Given the whole "alternate dimension" set up, they had the perfect opportunity for Blastaar or Annihilus but instead we wind up with Doctor Doom again. I think the only movie supervillaind that have been effectively used in multiple movies are Magneto and Loki, everyone else has just been tired retreads (Heath Ledger did a great job as Joker, but I still would have preferred a different villain.)

I didn't even know it was coming. I think I'll wait until I hear from early movie goers how it was.

Meh. Most of the Marvel Studios stuff is gold, but Fox hasn't been as kind to their licensed properties. I can't count the X-Men movies on one hand, but I can count the good ones on the hand of Qhorin from Ice and Fire, the good FF movies, well, Stumpy's hand works great.

Besides, for the cost of a movie ticket you could buy a 15mm pack or two, a few character minis, or almost a third of a Perry box set. I'll pass until Netflix gets the disk.

I love the 1960's FF4. The news ones change too much.

Typical Hollywood to take a beloved property with a lot of potential then change it all into something completely different. Doing that loses the old fan base, the very people who should be excited by your property.

Nope. Looks dreadful.

Nope.
Loved the Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
Don't like what they have changed and will pass on this film.

No way.

Definitely not.

Trailer has made me want to see it, but I'll wait for it to com out on disc, but that's just business as usual for me as I begrudge paying for the cinema these days.

What happened to the Thing's pants?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After reading that Fox will not allow any screeners to write about it until after it is released I would say it's a definite NO. It's got to be pretty darn dire for them to do that.
