If Marvel Studios ever gets ahold of Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc...

[FaT_tONle]

War Zone has flop written all over it. Dare Devil... well I don't know what Fox realistically thinks they can do with that one... and Marvel as no use for the character in their immediate future... same with Fantastic Four. DD and FF definitely need reboots once they come back to Marvel... Punisher can return in crossovers because we have had enough solo movies of him let's be real. X-Men has to be rebooted as well unless Fox keeps it and decides to make a sequel trilogy.

Personally, I think X-Men and Spider-Man can be left as is (btw, I can totally see RDJ and Tobey sharing a scene together in their respective characters), and F4 and Daredevil can/should be rebooted.

A bit off-topic but.. I'd like to see that

Reboot the bad films. We all know which ones.

Reboot X-men and make a "true" X-men film.

Redo all of them in Marvel's image the way they should've been in the first place.

Back to Reality:

FF4 is probably a lost cause, like X-men because there's no way Fox is letting them go. Even if the core franchise fails, there's more than enough characters and stories to mine for a buck or two.

Marvel should simply continue on the path they've chosen. Patiently make their films, with their characters, in their image. Again, sadly two of the greatest comic franchises of all time are forever lost to mediocrity and lack of imagination.

RIP X-men and FF4.

X-Men's fine. Settle down.

 

[Project862006]

yeah x men was done just fine there was nothing wrong with it besides ratner

 

[Donnie Darko]

Even with the cast they have, I think Fantastic Four can be made in to a good film with the right writer/director. Dr. Doom was completely shat upon, but we'll have to get over that for now. The problem with making another FF movie is that they've already matched up against their biggest threat (kind of, at least), so any other movie would seem kind of smaller scale that the 2nd.

 

[gerbstat]

Marvel Studios will re-create the Marvel Universe in the movies just like they did in the comics. Wait and see. Marvel will become another Disney...

Except magneto seemed to always be the villain. And we never saw that much anti-mutant racism, at least nmot enough for mutants to be actually afraid for their lives, they protrayed it as modern day anti-semitism or anti-black feeling when it should have been nazi germany or 50s deep south level of fear of mutants. The x-men never fought as a team, sure they beat up baddies but wolvie did most of it, we never saw actual teaming up between two or three x-men to take someone down. Everything had a bit of a tv movie budget feel, it never had the scale of other superhero movies.

Other than that yeah it was fine.

lol.

I know it wasn't genocide but the movies still had the prejudice theme: The fear of something different. The first movie was America politically trying to uncover who mutants were with Kelly heading the campaign. The second was the military going the next step to control them with Stryker's mind control. Then the logical third step is the cure, taking their difference and choice away. I didn't think that was as much an issue as the team not being together.

I do agree that the movie didn't use the characters in groups enough or focused on one at a time.

I also agree that the budget was spent too much on the actors and actresses rather than the scenes. The third one had the biggest budget but used it all wrong.

Still, I would rather see a sequel.

I know but they kept hammering home the whole "world that hates and fears us" bit and I never felt that from the bits we saw. There was some anxiety shown towards mutants but there was never enough hatred shown to justify mutants feeling they were at risk of being attacked by humans.

 

[Hypestyle]

get Bryan Singer to direct Magneto.. especially if he doesn't end up doing the next Superman film..

I hope some kind of legal licensing can be done for some of the non-'marvel studios' characters to show up in some form in the future movies..

I can agree with that. Regular people weren't running for their lives from them but they do just look like me and you. The mutants rarely publicly showed their powers which they should have done.

Wolvy did get shot in the head when he put his claws away in X-2.

But I see your point it wasn't emotional enough.

The X-Men films were very entertaining... they were not, however, exceptional in quality. There were too many holes, to many imbalances, too many one dimensional characters for it to bear any extensive analysis. It's a fun movie, yes, but not a great movie, that goes for all of them, some more than others.

They bear remaking in 10 or so years.

Well, if you're talking about the trilogy as a whole, I disagree. The quality changes from movie to movie. I felt that the first was very high-quality and character based, the second was a bit more of an action-packed movie but still was good character-wise, and the third was overly action-packed with little to no depth.

I feel the same about Iron Man as you do about the X-Men movies. It's fun and all, but I really dont see why it got all the props that it did, other than getting an amazing cast that is.

 

[Moviefan2k4]

Personally, I'd rather "Daredevil" recieve a direct sequel in the "Director's Cut" vein, as opposed to a reboot. To this day, that DVD is one of my favorite films. Affleck, Garner, Duncan, Farrell, Favreau, Pantoliano...all of them were great in their roles, and I'd love to see them back for another one (provided they keep the tone darker, like the Director's Cut).

Make a good Ghost Rider movie, dammit!!

 

[Project862006]

i agree we needed good team work there was a good deleted scene from x 3 with wolverine/storm double team it was pretty kewl should of kept that in

 

[Captainhulk]

I don't want Marvel to get the rights to all of it's heroes, because there would be less movies. That's one of the problems with WB/DC. They can't make all of the movies, that people wanna see in a reasonable amount of time. I think they should just get the film rights to enough of their heroes, to make an Avengers movie. Let Fox and Sony keep what they have and let LGF keep the Punisher.

 

[mclay18]

I think they should make some changes... but bear in mind, if Marvel gets the rights to the characters back, they'll probably have to distribute the new movies through the same studios like Sony and Fox, since Marvel did that with TIH (or not, through Paramount).

 

[Pluto]

Really do you think it could happen?

Marvel can partner with different production companies. DC cannot. There does not need to be less movies, even if they have all the rights.

And there is a timeline – as Variety reports, the X-Men film rights revert back to Marvel in 2012 if film projects aren’t in active development.

Hmm...interesting.

 

[Eggyman]

I thinks that's good news!

Hmm...interesting.

Fox just has to turn around tomorrow and sign people for these spinoffs and extend the rights so I don't think this report means much. I am beginning to think there is no cap on the amount of films Fox can make... which is BAD news. I hope I'm wrong... are First Class and Deadpool in active development? If not... they could be in several months... and that would probably extend rights for another 2-3 years.

 

[Jordacar]

I'm no expert, so I ask: is there another way for Marvel to get the rights back besides waiting around for the rights to revert back?
