More or less.So, 'Along came Polly' meets 'What's up, doc?'...
Wonder how the Fantastic Four movie could be worse?
At least Miles Tellar is willing to reassure everyone that "Rarely are films of this size critically well received. This is not a movie we're going to go on Rotten Tomatoes and it's going to be at 80 or 90 per cent." (via BBC) Counter examples are left as an exercise to the reader.

DOOM DOES NOT TAKE ECZEMA LIGHTLY, RICHAAAAAAAAAAARDS
I handed the lady $1.50 to see that first run.
Minor spoiler for the backstory of one character in the new Fantastic Four film:
""It's clobbering time" is something Ben Grimm's abusive brother used to say before he slapped him about. Comic book fans will love that."
How do you manage to fuck up the iconic catchphrase for the franchise's arguably most iconic character?! (I say arguably, because an argument could be made for both Human Torch and The Thing.)

As of tomorrow a couple of years back.

Scroll up a few posts.
Ah. Missed it in the sea of movie titles and prices.Scroll up a few posts.
The ones that don't appear on this page? Fess up--you adore the new Fantastic Four and are just trying to hide it.
He says this in defense of Fantastic Four having currently 14% on Rotten Tomatoes, while the new DBZ movie is cruising at 100%* and that's surely no Academy Award nominee.
*granted, it's only eight reviews
SHODAN appreciates this.All right, all right. I admit it. I just skimmed through the latest page.
Jerk.
Well review-wise, it's sitting at a sloppy 12% on Rotten Tomatoes with 26 reviews.
I already made that joke. Get your own.SHODAN appreciates this.
Hey now, don't judge. This isn't the kind of movie that does well on Rotten Tomatoes. We are not some fucking elitist bourgeoisie.[DOUBLEPOST=1438856460,1438856308][/DOUBLEPOST]

I just started watching this guy's reviews recently, but they're pretty good. Here? He DESTROYS Fantastic Four. I can't think of another video where he's so angry.
I really hope Marvel buys the film-rights somehow, these people do NOT know what they are doing.
Sure they do. They know they rushed this out purely to hold onto the rights. Why do you think they held onto the review embargo until the movie's release?
I hope the movie loses so much money that Fox decides, "Y'know what, it's not worth it to keep the rights, clearly it's impossible to make a good Fantastic Four movie. Let Marvel have it back."
And then Marvel casts the EXACT SAME people and manages to make a brilliant F4 movie, just as a huge "fuck you" to Fox.

I don't blame him. Fox may have just torpedoed his career before it ever really took off, simply to preserve the rights to a franchise...
- That has NEVER had a hit
- Has been falling in popularity in it's original medium
- Isn't being supported by it's creators, who have actually stopped putting out issues completely
... entirely because some executives are terrified of what will happen to them personally if/when Marvel/Disney gets the rights back and puts out a smash hit. It's literally the Spider-man problem all over again: the only reason the movies get made are to keep the rights, but at least now Spidey is getting the treatment he deserves.

A lot of people figure, after this disaster, that Marvel will own the rights again and pretty soon. I don't know about the soon part because I believe they can hold onto the rights for 10 years before they NEED to make another one. From what I read, they had until 2016 to make another F4 movie or the rights would revert to Marvel.
Still, I think the next few months/years will be very interesting. Maybe Fox will be willing to let Marvel buy the rights back?

They might try to approach Marvel with a deal like Sony did, but because of the reasons Ash listed, Marvel would have a lot more bargaining power.
But has Fox now tainted the Fantastic Four's name to the point that even if Marvel put out an awesome movie for them, would people go see it?

Marvel wants the F4 rights, but not as badly as it wants X-Men (and mutants) back. Fox is going to try to hardball Marvel over this but it's not like Marvel needs the F4 back for anything right now... in fact, most of what they are doing works just fine on it's own. But Mutants? It's likely the concept of mutants being separate from Inhumans would go away fast, but simply having access to that catalog would make things like Runaways possible and if they really wanted to start fresh, they have stuff like New Mutants and House of M to make it all possible.
Fuck... considering what is going on in Agents of Shield, I could see Wanda saying "No More Inhumans" afterwards to justify a shift in the status que.
Beyond Trank's whining, there's also reports of him being coked out of his mind on set which is supposedly some of the reason Disney dropped him from Star Wars.
That's a shame, I really liked Chronicle.
There's rumors that he was insanely hard to work with because he wanted to get all Kubrick on set and force actors to do hundreds of takes one right after another, among other things.
