The FFINO ZONE

[RAE072]

I looooove the revisionist history going on in the Reborn thread.

Claiming the effects were always meant to be green, deciding they definitely like it more now that it's green(implying they wouldn't have liked it anyway).

Absolutely anything to defend this movie, even lie to themselves.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Which is ridiculous imo, as Filoni's body of work trumps Kinberg's

I am a big Rebels and TCW guy. But Filoni's body of work is limited to that and TLA. His Avatar work is great, though he did have great writers on that show. Also, lets not start acting like TCW didn't have a number of problems.

Kinberg working on Edge of Tomorrow (uncredited), Sherlock Holmes and DoFP easily trumps that.

This is why I hate Simon Kinberg. He's got so much power and influence, and such limited talent.

That is what you took from that? He is power mad?

If you were a gambling man, what do you think will be the opening weekend gross and total DOM gross?

For what?

Which effects are these? Can you post the quotes here please?

Oh the effects in general, all the previously red stuff from Planet Zero that is now all the green stuff in the new footage.

 

[Mad Ones]

I don't remember reading anyone saying they were always supposed to be green. Some People, like myself, prefer the green but it's obvious they changed their mind during production.

Is FFINO meant to be a thread where you guys can gossip about the more positive posters?

 

[Docker2.0]

For what?

F4.

 

[RAE072]

Indeed. I actually think they should have kept it green all along. They kinda ruined it by showing red lava in previous clips which made it look familiar.

Okay, I'll bite.

"Kept it green all along" implies it was always meant to be green, they made it red, and then changed it back to green.

I don't know if he's power mad, but I do know he has a lot of power. He doesn't have much in the way of talent. Maybe hate's a strong word, but that's a bad combination and enough for me not to like him.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

F4.

I thought we were talking about Gambit there.

I think it depends on the reviews. If they are good, it could do $45-50m. If they aren't, I can see $30-35m, with a $75m domestic total.

It looked incredibly fake too. Nothing else really surprises me that much, but I find it absolutely astonishing that the visual effects look this amateurish in 2015. Dante's Peak had better lava and that came out back in 1997 (!).

 

[Mad Ones]

Okay, I'll bite.

"Kept it green all along" implies it was always meant to be green, they made it red, and then changed it back to green.

Or, you know, the poster actually meant that he/she wished it would have been green from the beginning.

Whatever you want it to be.

I love the artistic integrity of this production! We want this planet to have red lava and we are so proud of our choice that we showed that in our first trailer. What's that? People are bashing the movie and the trailers? Okay then! Let's change that lava to green.

But it was REALLY always meant to be green! We swear!

 

[C. Lee]

Hmmm.....no FANTASTIC FOUR talk going on in here....perhaps it is time to close this thread.....

 

[Val_Zod]

Anyway, back on topic, I've disliked how they've spliced together the spots and trailers. They are trying to sell this thing as a Marvel Studios film, rather than sticking to what they originally intended.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Watching the spots is funny, because they show that they don't have many effect shots. The continue to reuse the same ones over and over again.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I wonder if it because they are still working on them or they just look so bad they don't want to show them off.

I've noticed that as well.

Considering how poor their best effects shots look I'm going to guess that the one's that they haven't shown look worse.

 

[Krystal]

Any thoughts on if Reed stretches any thing besides his arms. Has anyone seen a single shot of him stretching any other part? Perhaps they were so clueless about the franchise they thought he was Stretch ARMstrong.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I've only ever seen him stretch his arms...which is more than a little odd.

I have heard that turds come in different colors too. This film still looks just as dull no matter what. August 7 can't come soon enough. Maybe we can get the ball rolling on a serious deal being reached after this thing dies in theaters.

Here where I am its going to to be tax free weekend for back to school shopping. Probably the same in other places too.

 

[2094]

Been off the Hype for a few days, Big Brother is getting really good. Anyways, I have ZERO interest in this film after having a long talk with my good friend who is a Comic book fanatic.

 

[Tymminator]

After all of the reshots, I wonder what the final price tag for this movie is going to be?

This movie can turn out well I suppose, but every commercial I've seen of this flick irritates me more and more. I dislike the looks of Doom and the Thing specifically SO much...just ugh.

Now I hear they say there will be a X-Men/F4 x-over after all...I hope not but if there is I won't check it out either.

This movie for me is a waste of several actors I usually enjoy. Maybe this movie will break out with the GenPop but I just have not found anything that they have shown so far that says to me "this IS a great F4 adaption in spirit". It's spirit seems likes it's closer to the Doom Patrol.

In fact, Trank might have been better suited to adapt The Doom Patrol since in a lot of his and other actors interviews of the themes they claim this movie is pursuing ring closer to that classic comic than anything F4.
