Fant4stic: Reborn! - Part 20

[Fincher]

My biggest concern was that this was going to be too much like Chronicle, since I disliked that movie. I didn't get that feeling at all with the trailer. I was relieved..

If I had to liken the style in the teaser to existing superhero movies, I'd say it's a cross between Nolan Batman and Man of Steel.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Lol where are you looking? Facebook and youtube is riddled with bile even the actors fan pages... and its alot more bile than spewed here.

Do you have a rose tinted computer screen?

Probably basing it solely on visits to fox.com and joshtranqrox.net

 

[Urich Leeds]

And good for that.
There's a quite clear reason 99% of book adaptations that have never had their story told on film before (or told properly) dont get adapted into a left field twist that barely resembles its source material.

And why 99% of film adaptations that have extreme creative licenses taken have had their stories told to death. And have countless films and other adaptations under their belts.

The reason i bring up Shakespeare , Poe, Cinderella, Wizard of Oz, Snow White, Peter Pan, etc... is because those are the most comparable to comic books. They're literature that garnished a massive following and fanbase. They've been adapted and retold countless times in many forms of media. This is why they are now allowed to be altered... and give us such awesome work as FreeWay, the lion king, 10 things i hate about you, etc...

You dont go and make a live adaptation of lotr in space before you have a correct portrayal of tolkens version first... you dont make "maleficent" before sleeping beauty....

BINGO! Ding-Ding-Ding! Somebody gets it!

This looks like it is influenced heavily by UFF albeit more serious. UFF is still F4, the last time I checked.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

Aside from cast age and negative zone origin, theres not a whole lot borrowed from UFF apparently.

Yes. And UFF is a horrible interpretation of FF.

Actually, THE worst.

 

[Tony Stark]

I went to the website, and read through stuff there. The trailer music must be from the actual sound track because it's on the website. Again signifying that this movie bears little resemblance to the fun loving imaginauts that were both the 616 and Ultimate versions.

I listened to Trank and Kinsberg's commentary. It's pretty clear that despite Trank name dropping Stan Lee that he has no flipping clue who or what the Fantastic Four are.

Yeah this movie we're going to get actual science, because that's what we really wanted in a Fantastic Four film. We really want to make sure the laws of physics aren't broken.

What bothers me most is they are pushing this "From the studio that brought you X-men Days of Future Past". Yeah it's also the studio that brought you X-men Origins: Wolverine.

This film is going to suck big time.

Not according to Trank himself.

Doom's look is VERY inspired by UFF Doom. All he's really missing are the goat legs.

But yeah. Despite the N-Zone being the source of their power, the specifics of it are different, with them physically traveling there as opposed a wave of energy from it affecting them.

That said, it looks like all the characters and the story will be primarily informed by that universe.

 

[Tony Stark]

There's very little of the Ultimate universe I like. I like parts of the Ultimates, but Cap is pretty much a major a-hole with little if any redeeming qualities. They make the Hulk a horny cannibal. They give Tony Stark an evil twin brother that Fury sides with. Black Widow kills Hawkeye's wife and kids.

It's just the absolute worst. People were pissed about Galactus being a fiery cloud in Rise of the Silver Surfer? Well the ultimate version of Gah-lak-tus was even worse, as tiny pods, and Silver Surfer was a female version of Vision.

This is the kind of crap they came up with. And gosh interpreting the Ultimate universe worked out so well for TASM and TASM2.

1. Agreed on everything.

2. The trailer music is not from the movie; It's the theme to Broadchurch: A show about a child murder.

Trailer looks fantastic. Can't say I didn't expect it to be with such a talented crew behind it. Never bought into the online nonsense about the film being bad just because it wasn't part of Disney's Marvel franchise.

Easily my most anticipated film of 2015, with Star Wars and Avengers right behind it.

Why don't the Tim Story movies factor into that criteria? They were poorly received and didn't go far with audiences, but they were faithful enough. The degree of success they needed to have to be considered a "correct" portrayal is very much subjective, but if there really is an imperious need to have a faithful portrayal of something before you can start re-interpreting, you're not explaining why they don't count.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I actually liked the trailer music but I had no idea where it was from.

...Christ.

Yes, because you also have to have good writing and directing.

"Good" and "faithful" not mutually exclusive. You can have both.

There, said it as simply as I possibly could.

Are you mad at me?

 

[Mad Ones]

Those movies certainly factored into the family fun aspect. My sister, who was really young at the time, loved them and still does.

I don't even hate them. But they were quite bad, and I want something different.

Oh honey..... you so misinformed. But then again, you probably havent followed this production, and therefore dont know about its issues. Such as, how badly they are ruining Doom; even moreso than the last two films.

I know ALL about the film and have followed the production closely. I love what Kinberg and Trank are doing with this franchise and have from the start. Doom's changes don't bother me. I'm more interested in their choice to hire the great Toby Kebbell to play him than their deviation from the source. Disney is currently making a Pym-less Ultron movie and I couldn't care less either. Also, nothing so far to me points to them ruining Doom. Like Ultron, changing his origin doesn't mean he'll be any less interesting as a villain in the film.

To be perfectly fair, we aren't going to see Doom engage in internet trolling for more than a minute or two at the start of the film. Ant-Man is taking just as many liberties if not more and yet I'm still cautiously optimistic for that one as well.

Point being, if we get a good end product, then I don't mind the liberties taken.

Fantastic Four and Ant-Man are both struggling franchises. The Fantastic Four's popularity has taken a nosedive after Hickman left the title (and JMS and Millar didn't exactly do wonders for the property after Waid) and Ant-Man was never an A-list hero. I feel like a lot of people are jumping to conclusions.

Remember DOFP. A crowded superhero film with too many characters and Quicksilver looked terrible while Beast was made into a poor man's Hulk? Or Guardians of the Galaxy, a film starring a talking tree version of Hodor? Yeah, those certainly didn't make money.

Careful now, you don't want to anger some of the haters here. From the looks of things they have had enough positive comments for the day. The teaser more than did its job. Loving the new positive energy here for a change.
Looking forward to all 3 major superhero films this year. Its also funny how Antman has made more changes to comic books than this has.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Exactly. Most CBMs aren't for kids. From Iron Man blasting holes in dudes to Wolverine stabbing people to Joker's magic trick.

When did Iron Man blast holes in people?

Iron Man 3 against Coldblood on Air Force One.

 

[craigdbfan]

Pretty sure he blasted some terrorists directly in the chest in the first film too.
