Fantastic Four Reboot

And even Killian that claimed to be "The Mandarin" was also a fake

folks need to watch that One-shot.

Mandarin is Tony's archnemesis and he was one of the main villains in Acts of Vengeance, he's not a "lesser villain".

In terms of popularity?! You better believe he's lesser in comparison to the likes of Magneto or Doom.

Mags and Doom are often voted to be #1 and #2 Marvel supervillains, but that doesn't make them the only ones.

Mandarin is a tech genius and a superhuman martial artist who wears alien-tech rings so advanced they almost fall into the "magic" category... what I'm saying is, even a watered-down version of Mandy could work in a movie.

Instead, we got a really bad movie that would've sucked even if fake Mandarin hadn't been involved. And I'm afraid there's no fixing that. Iron Man will probably appear only in Avengers and nothing else.

Doom is easily my favorite marvel villain. I never read the Xmen very much so I can't give my opinion on magneto, but reading lots of fantastic four and Spider-Man Doom was awesomely devious.

You're preaching to the choir here because I really didn't like IM3 much at all either. Super-pepper was icing on the cake. The least they could have done was give her the rescue armor. THAT would have been phucking awesome.

Although the lack of Real D 3D logos on newer ads and the fact that Fox removed that logo from early posters that once had it already told us this would be the case, the 3D conversion was officially cancelled today.

Then there's no way this will make it's money back. One month out, Zero hype, and no 3d ticket sales..

Marvel might as well start planning how they will incorporate FF into their Cinematic Universe when they get the rights back.

No it'll make money because its supposedly a good quality movie and it's in the superhero genre.

Also there's more than enough awareness. The F4 movie poster is prominently featured in every theater I've been going to and the F4 trailer is playing behind lots of movies too.

There's no way this makes a profit. The fanbase has hates it for over a year. The general audience doesn't know about it and on the off chance they do they don't care. It's a reboot of a failed franchise less than a decade later. Three weeks before release and they still haven't tried to get hype going for it.

Add in a lack of a release in China and this film is guaranteed to make less than Rise of the Silver Surfer. That's a flop in anyone's book.

Its not releasing in China? Sheeeeesh these guys are making it all harder on themselves.

No 3D and No China?

Do they want this to flop?

yup this is definitely a $5 sunday afternoon viewing.. good thing i know someone who owns and operates his own screening room

a new FF movie?
*goes to youtube and watches trailer*

........

thats it?

what word best describes it...

ah, i know...

underwhelming

....

"There’s no conversation about [Doom’s origins] in the film. We don’t have time to talk about me- I would love it, but we don’t have real time. Yeah, he’s still from the same place, his mother is still a gypsy and done her deals, his father still perished from exposure looking after me. He’s angry. He’s an angry dude. But now he’s in Baxter. He’s bright and he’s trying to make people proud. He found a new father in Dr. Storm, the father of Johnny and adoptive father of Sue. I kind of get adopted as well, in a fantastic performance by Reg E. Cathey. And that’s Doom as we see him. He’s a computer technician, a computer scientist. There were rumors he was a hacker or something, but no. Victor Von Doom is who we hope he will be."

Sounds like Fox did some quick alterations or Toby Kebbell was trolling everybody about the hacker info.

That's actually clever double speak on Toby Kebbell's part. He was never rumored bo be a hacker, what he did say was:

“He’s Victor Domashev, not Victor von Doom in our story. And I’m sure I’ll be sent to jail for telling you that. The Doom in ours—I’m a programmer. Very anti-social programmer. And on blogging sites I’m ‘Doom.’ “

So rather than telling people why they made him a blogger and "Doom" a screenname he blogs under, they completely dodged the issue by having him say "lol come on gaiz I'm not a hacker in this." No one ever claimed he was...

I don't see what the issue is that he uses the Internet before he becomes a super villain.

The issue is how good or bad the film will be. Or how good or bad of a super villain he'll be by the end of the movie.
