Well if it does end up sucking, maybe Fox will finally give up on the Fantastic Four and give the rights back to Marvel/Disney/Paramount...whatever.
Either that or go the Sony route.
I'm trying to be optimistic for this movie but i don't know if i'll ever be able to get past the casting. The trailer seems to suggest that the tone and visual style of the movie has finally realized the proper direction to take these characters. However, i still can't accept the fact that the developers involved forgot that the F4 were adults
Stan Lee Responds to Critics of "Fantastic Four's" Human Torch Casting

"I thought it was a great idea!" Lee said, regarding Jordan's role. "They [the critical fans] are outraged not because of any personal prejudice... They're outraged because they hate to see any change made on a series and characters they had gotten familiar with. In 'Spider-Man,' when they got a new actor, that bothered them, even though it was a white actor. I don't think it had to do with racial prejudice as much as they don't like things changed.""I think they’re gonna get to love this character," he continued, "So I'm not the least bit worried about it. I always tried to pepper these groups with as much racial diversity as possible because that’s the way the world is."
at least he didn't pull the racial card towards the people who are against the casting.
