Maybe its because I've never been a big Fantastic Four fan, but the trailer just kinda made me think "Meh". I suspect I will watch it eventually but most likely I'll wait until its on netflix or something similar to watch it.

    Methinks I'll give this one an El Paso....
I wasn't too sure to begin with, then I read an article about why Johnny Storm is suddenly black. The author (of the article)'s premise is that, if you take a formerly white character and make them black, you're striking a blow against racism, but if you leave them as is, or (HORRORS!) make a previously black character white, you're supporting racism in some way.

    HUH????
My concern is that the Director holds the same view.
When Samuel L. Jackson was cast as Nick Fury, I think it was because he is BADASS, not because of his genetics, or some cock-eyed effort to "atone" for something-grow up, folks; it's just pigment.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

That explanation, about Nick Fury, is as good as any as I have seen about why, where once a character was white,  now he is black. Indeed, I must admit, when I see Nick Fury now as white, I am disappointed he does not look more like Samuel L. Jackson.

Like many people here, I--too--am going to give this a pass. Not because Johnny Storm is now an Afro-American, though I am afraid that is going to hurt at the box office, but because, except for the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, are some of my least favorite characters in the Marvel Universe.

There are other people, I am afraid, are hoping this film fails at the box office, because if it fails at the box office, maybe the rights to the characters, which are owned by 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, would then revert to the Walt Disney Company, who except for the X-Men, has seemed to have the most luck with the most recent Marvel characters.

The same thought, the reverting back of the rights of a character, here to the film Spiderman, which is owned by Sony Columbia, after the relative failure of the last Spiderman film, would revert back to the Walt Disney Company, but . . .?! That does not seem to be the case, as it looks like Sony Columbia is going to take another run at creating a successful Spiderman film in 2017, with a rumored Asa Butterfield in the role of Spiderman.

And we shall see, what we shall see.

In general I really dislike superhero movies. I think they take themself too seriously and actually make no sense. The whole wave of "super hero with super problems" make me laugh as most of the problems are the same problem normal humans simply have anyway (relations, jobs...)

So or they are not serious (like The Super Inframan [1975]) or they tend to be really stupid.

In a way I hope the next Batman VS Superman is just: Superman throws Gotham to the sun, just after do the same with the city where Lex Luthor is. Finally leaves a message like: be good or I do it again. End.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
