Hey, BigD finally said something that I agree with, and don't think is totally off base bull****. Of course, he said it without seeing the film, and he still refuses to reply to 90% of comments, or actually talk about something to do with music, but at least he's not preaching about jesus, classy women and sporting events. This might be an improvement.

Never liked the fantastic four and I never knew anyone in person that did besides maybe my brother. Nothin surprising about them doing bad in theaters, imo. They not in the same league as the superheros that usually do good in theaters.

I'm wondering why the studio thought anyone wanted a reboot in the first place. The other two FF films weren't exactly masterpieces to begin with.

Fox is obligated to make a FF movie every 7 years or the rights revert back to Marvel.

Why didn't they just let the rights die, like with Daredevil? I know they made money off the first movie, but it's not like anybody was ever going to give a **** about a new one.

nobody gave a **** about a new batman movie until nolan made batman begins. nobody gave a crap or had even heard about the guardians of the galaxy until marvel made the movie and it was awesome.

people would love a new FF movie if it was good. the problem is the ONLY reason they made this film is because the rights were about to revert back to marvel. they didn't make it because they wanted to make a good FF movie.

Probably because it's embarrassing enough to not be able to make a good movie out of the property, but to give it back to your competitor who turns around and makes a hit just makes you look utterly incompetent. FOX executive heads would be rolling come Monday after Marvel's Fantastic Four breaks box office records and receives critical praise, so it's easier to just cover one's ass and pretend like what went wrong with the movie was something unforeseeable. Right now though, it's all about damage control, and it's bad enough when the film's director is slagging it off on Twitter the day of the release, but to have an executive come out and say "We're cancelling the sequel in 2017 and selling the rights back to Marvel" would be career suicide. News on it will go dark, FOX will focus attention away to Deadpool, X:Men Apocalypse and Gambit, and that June 9, 2017 sequel release date will be filled with something else, most likely X-Men related. I highly doubt that there will be another FF movie within the next 5-6 years and wouldn't be surprised at all if they negotiate a trade, Marvel gets the movie rights back for FF and FOX gets TV rights for the X-Men.

Then I'm just assuming that they basically flipped a coin to see whether they were going to make a Daredevil or a FF movie. I can't imagine them taking a chance on two almost certain flops. If so, then I suppose I'm happy with the coin flip in any case.

Now it's just time to pray they don't butcher Deadpool.

Weirdly, a friend just told me exactly the same thing. Only difference is, she'd seen the movie.
