Man, there's a lot of nerd hurt (nurt?) in this thread for this movie. I don't see what the problem is...it's a reboot, so what's the big deal if they decided to give the F4 a new origin story? I realize that comic purists (or whatever) will be pissed, but there's really no reason to be IMO. And this movie, to the mass general public, will be just fine as long as the substance is there and it's at least decent.

My only knowledge of the F4 is from the first two movies, both of which weren't very good. At least these trailers look infinitely better than both of those were. That has to at least count for something.

This isn't something I will rush to theaters to watch, but I'll eventually check it out on DVD or something like that. And I'm sure it will make lots of money like some have said.

I thought it looked pretty good honestly. I have no care for Fantastic 4 comics, so the whole "canon" thing doesn't mean anything to me.

Ehh... all I see is CG heavy preview for a movie that doesn't have all that high of a budget when it comes to modern comic flicks.

A $122 million budget ain't gonna buy a ton of cool CG heavy action scenes in this day and age. Thor 2, Winter Soldier, Guardians, Iron Man 3, Amazing Spider-Man 1/2, X-Men First Class, and Days of Future Past all had budgets ranging from $160 million to $255 million.

The only major comic flick w/a similar budget in recent years was The Wolverine at $120 million but most of that movie was just a powered down Logan and company running around Japan.

I hope its good but I really dont anticipate that actually happening.
