The FFINO ZONE - Part 1

[AndrewGilkison]

Deadpool is the one comic book character Ryan Reynolds was born to play, honestly. It suits his abilities perfectly.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Deadpool is an acquired taste for sure. But for fans of the character, it looks great.

I'm glad fans are satisfied with what they are seeing.

 

[Raiden]

Ryan Reynolds played Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins because he really wanted to play Deadpool, even though in XMO it was like a bastardized version of the character, one of many reasons why that movie failed. I just watched the Red Band trailer for Deadpool and I'm glad that Reynolds finally get to play the superhero that he loves, and this time he did the character justice.

Anyway, for FFINO, I hope its RT will end up in the 30s and then match it with a 30 mil OW. It's time that GA does not reward good box office for bad movies, like they did with Transformers.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

The Tim Story movies were bad but they had more fun and color and even they didn't do Transformers numbers. I doubt this drab colorless reboot will do better in that regard.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I will eat my soul (somehow) if Fantastic Four has a good opening weekend. I try not to predict based off of emotion and sometimes I fail and probably do that.

I don't think this is bias speaking, I flat out do not see the buzz for Fantastic Four. Now maybe I am dead wrong because I have been before but I do not see it.

 

[Ragnaroknroll]

I thought the trailer was okay. Personally I don't get the big woop about the project yet. Ryan Reyolds playing himself while wearing a mask and killing thugs just isn't as interesting to me as it is other people on the interwebs.

I'm in the same boat. I'm not a Deadpool fan. At all. But you can clearly see the commitment and excitement behind this project that was just so lacking with Fantastic Fail.

And dang if Colossus doesn't look perfect!

Colossus looks the best he has ever looked, he looks spectacular.

Despite my disinterest I do respect that the people who made it seem like they cared about the project. I am really happy for the fans because just because I don't quite get it (perhaps yet?) doesn't mean that I want the fans to be disappointed.

I think Trank took on Fantastic Four to move on to what he thought were bigger and better things, I don't think that he ever gave the slightest damn about the property. If he didn't care there should have been people controlling the scripting process. I don't think that a director has to love or even care deeply about the source material but he/she has to not be incompetent and surround themselves with people who do care.

I think Trank always gives this "I'm better than this comic book" attitude when making FF, and this movie shows his disdain for the source material. Hence I'm glad that the RT score is bombing right now, and I hope the box office will follow suit.

Agreed!

I think you're right and I think that "bigger and better" project was Star Wars. When he got that gig he publicly gushed over the opportunity. When he got the FF job there was complete silence.

Yep, he got his dream job...for a while. It's too bad that he had to take the Fantastic Four down with him. And to be fair to Trank this was a rights grab film that Fox rushed into development.

I think it will drop more before coming back a bit... if it even comes back up

 

[Eddie]

No sympathy for Trank. He was being a jackass about this before filming even started. The Star Wars firing was NOT his first social media outburst. Dude had a prior Twitter account he closed after his nonsense. He shouldn't have used the Fantastic Four to sort out his personal problems in the first place.

Honestly it should be 0% right now.

The lone positive review is purely a sympathy prize. After stating "it's a muddled and underdeveloped origin story which segues jarringly from light-hearted adventure to heavy-handed grit, grasping for a gravitas that it hasn't earned," she says "in the face of such bad buzz, it's hard not to feel a little sorry for the finished product".

I just love how everyone gushed about "Trank's vision". Even before this hit the fan I thought that was a ridiculous statement to make. Trank will be lucky to have Shyamalan's career at this point.

Amen! The GA must wake the hell up

 

[Raiden]

Here are the Variety and Hollywood Reporter reviews from another thread. The review from Hollywood Reporter is a good read.

 

[Jason Kane]

I just hope FOX doesn't play hardball with Marvel and just wait for the rights to revert back. I posted earlier that I'd like to see the F4 show up in Black Panther, like in the comic.

At this point they don't have a leg to stand on to play hardball.

 

[Eddie]

I almost hope Fox is stupid enough to throw Fantastic Four characters into an X-Men film if they really can do that. It would almost certainly force them to give Marvel the Fantastic Four cut of money, which is higher than the X-Men cut.

Make the X-films less profitable. Yeah, that's real smart.

 

[marieylee]

So, when would FF revert back to Marvel if Fox doesn't make another movie? 7 years correct? So, it would be 2022 if no deal is struck?

 

[Eddie]

Something will happen before the reversion date one way or another. The current situation is simply too vile. One way or another, this will lead to some changes.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

I agree. I forsee the property being devalued, and fox will likely bargain it for xmen tv rights (live action). Its a win win situation that way. The share holders wont want to hold onto this property, especially if there is a "rent" fee

 

[Darkraid]

Funny how they can do well for one character and not the other.

I thought FF would much easier to translate to film than DP.

They won't do that since there has never been a good FF film. Ever.

Plus Marvel won't allow a crossover after how badly this film flopped.

The FF failed despite a press tour and a massive budget.
