I don't know who the guy in the middle is but he looks like the biggest geek ever rather than a badass superhero. Then it sounds like they cast the right guy for the role, because he's playing Reed Richards who IS a big geek. Dammit Burke, you just gave this movie a compliment. Damn it. They may as well just quote my post on the cover of the Blu-Ray when it comes out then because by the sounds of it they won't have anything positive from actual reviewers to put on there. |

I don't know who the guy in the middle is but he looks like the biggest geek ever rather than a badass superhero. That alone would probably put me off watching this. I know that's a horrible reason but I'm kind of a horrible person. What Tarry said. Stop trying to have opinions and stuff. |

Oh, don’t mind me. I just enjoy a good anti-comic book movie circlejerk.

Like you weren't solo circle jerking to Jessica Alba in the first movie. Get out of my thread.

I wont even say that I thought the movie was 'BAD,' it was just... weird. Very weird. For the first hour or so I was getting so antsy because nothing was happening, and then they skipped ahead a year and so much was happening, but still so little. And whenever something did happen, it was something that made my friend and I look at each other like, wait, what? Like, how did Dr. Doom get that cape? How are they able to breath on this other planet? And the actors... Their performances were so strange. It was almost as if they weren't acting together, but reading separate scripts. It honestly felt like a table read. And I feel like the only one who did anything more than simply read her lines was Kate Mara, but even then she played Sue as bitchy and cold.
It was just a very weird movie. Like, it wasn't even so cheesy bad that it was still fun, like Batman & Robin. They tried to make it 'gritty and serious' like Nolan's Batman films without any of the substance.
Oh, and Sue's ever-changing hair was pretty distracting as well. Apparently she cut her hair after filming, so when they did re-shoots they stuck her in this Sia-esque wig and it was just... nnnn.

Apparently Fox still plans to go through with a sequel for this. After the director's tweet throwing them under the bus, they're returning the favor and blaming the movie on him, alleging drug abuse. The movie made $26,000,000 on opening weekend.
Honestly, they should just pull a Spider-Man and reboot it again.

I read that the director didn't agree with the studio's casting of the main girl and treated her like crap on set. The movie made $26,000,000 on opening weekend. Trainwreck managed to do over $30M on opening weekend (yes, I only know this stuff because Cena was in it) and that was an R rated comedy which usually struggle to make money. This shit really did bomb.  |

I read that the director didn't agree with the studio's casting of the main girl and treated her like crap on set. I was just reading that he fought with them because he wanted to cast Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan ( Jesus, is he a That Awkward Moment stan? Prolly wanted to cast Imogen Poots as Sue Storm.  ) as well. It's a shame their petty problems resulted in the movie we wound up with. And just when Fox had gotten back on their feet after soft-rebooting X-Men and announcing Deadpool and Gambit; especially in a world where they're competing against Marvel Studios and the DC films. Fox is notoriously stubborn, though. I fear for the fate of the X-Men when Bryan Singer eventually leaves again. It seems he has to do everything himself.  |

'Fantastic Four' Got So Bad, Miles Teller and Josh Trank Nearly Beat Each Other UpNo wonder the new Fantastic Four reboot became a punching bag for film critics, and then got knocked out by indifferent audiences: The set of Fox's superhero flick was so dysfunctional, it nearly became a boxing ring itself.
There's been a lot of finger-pointing in the aftermath of the $120 million movie's disastrous $26 million opening weekend, which actually began with director Josh Trank's Twitter-diss of the film on the eve of its release. The latest behind-the-scenes allegations finds Trank almost throwing down with star Miles Teller, who played Reed Richards in the Marvel mishap.
Trank initially fought hard to get Teller cast in the film, winning out over Fox's objections. But the director and actor's relationship later turned sour. According to a story in this week's Entertainment Weekly, Trank and Teller did not get along on the set of the film; Trank was allegedly withdrawn during production, and Teller is frequently sarcastic, making for a bad combination. Things got so bad at one point, in fact, that Trank and Teller's disagreement brought them chest-to-chest, daring one another to throw the first punch (Teller didn't have the benefit of Mr. Fantastic’s super-stretchy arms in real life).
Neither man actually ended up throwing a punch, but it doesn't seem as if the rest of the shoot went much better; previous reports from sources from the set have sources calling Trank's behavior towards cast and crew abusive and cold, especially toward Kate Mara, who got the role of Sue Storm over his objections.
Trank also reportedly got into hot water with the owners of the house that he was renting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where the film was shot. Things got a bit more violent there; his dogs supposedly ripped the place up, and he allegedly defaced the owner's family photos when he was being evicted.
All through post-production, as the film gained bad buzz, Trank tried to defend what was becoming less and less his movie, but news of on-set meltdowns and the near-brawl with Teller make it clear that this film was destined to take it on the chin.
Despite Fantastic Four's fantastic failure at the box office, Fox hasn’t said anything about the June 2017 date it set for a sequel. One thing's for sure: If the Four franchise goes forward, Trank — who recently left his gig as director of one of the new Star Wars films — won't be at the helm.
Source What a dick.

That's so low. Who just destroys someone else's family photos? They need to release a behind the scenes documentary. It'd do better than the actual movie.

I hope the studio forces them all to get together again and record a commentary track for the DVD/Blu-Ray.

Tarry is probably starting a petition to make this happen as we speak.

I didn't know I needed a Tommy Wiseau helmed superhero movie until now.
