"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." -George W. Bush circa 2002
The Fantastic Four have potential to become the next major blockbuster, especially considering X-Men crossover possibilities. I sure hope Fox knows what it's doing.
You know even if the cast was well received, this film has other things going against it. It's a reboot of a franchise most people consider to be meh and it's set to come out in a summer that's jammed pack with movies. Comes out about a month after Avengers 2. Comes out the same day as Pixar's Inside Out. So that's gonna cost them the family audience. And Terminator 5 and Jurassic World are also coming out around that time as well.
The Incredible Hulk underperformed at the box office for pretty much this reason. Being a reboot of a movie most people still had a bad taste in their mouths from. Coming out in between Iron Man and The Dark Knight. And movies such as Hancock, Wall-e, and Wanted coming out during the following weeks.
you should see the negative backlash on IMDB. They are up in arms over the casting.
Kate Mara is one of my favorite actressess. She is talented(gorgeous as well)I was tired of seeing her take a back seat, to her younger sis. Though I am not bothered by the casting but what seems interesting is I heard the grapvine, that there was some intent on turning Dr. Doom into a female
I really liked all the characters in the fantastic 4 movies, unfortunately the actual movies writing and directing sucked ass, especially the last one. All we saw of galactus was a image and he was defeated by silver surfer WTF man. The series has potential but suffers from stupid directors and crap story lines.
