So Langoth let me ask for a little clarification... have you read any comic book stories and if so, which ones? Or are you just going by the trailers, etc.
For Doctor Doom you mean? You mean have I read the F4?
Surprisingly, I haven't in YEARS, not since I was about 9, I can't even remember the last F4 story I read to be honest. But I did have high hopes for this movie.
Thats why Doctor Doom's origin didn't matter as much to me.
I like strong plots, I like strong villains especially.
I played through the videogame, and I've seen most of the trailers. I find you can often judge a good deal about the movies from the games. Most of the time if I hate the games, or have a bad feeling from the plot of the game (which is usually similar to the movie, but altered so people can kick more ass), I tend to be right about the movie as well.
This is just from my personal experience.
So, I'm saying, from what I've seen so far, the main villain seems bland. It has nothing to do with how much like Comic-Doom he is, I can barely remember anything about the F4 its been so long. I tend to stick the X-men, and I haven't read any fo the stories where DOom and the X-men mingle (thgouh I know there is a few times they have, make no mistake).
I'll try to see the movie if I can, along with Batman Begins as Logan keeps hounding me on AIM to see it, but I'm not going to have the highest expectations going in.
It may turn out well, but from what I've seen from Doctor Doom, I have the least expecations for a strong villain role. Thats just my opinion, in no means does it mean he will be, this is just from what I've observed so far.
