How many times are they going to redo this ? yaaaaaawwwwwnnnn
Do you say the same about James Bond movies?
I love the FF comic book and always have. The three movies released to date have never come close to getting it right. Ironically the one that has - Roger Corman’s cheap version - has never been released.
If they finally get the family of the FF right it could be a terrific movie.
How can you compare the James Bond Movies with this ? explain...
The JB movies are different stories with a single character .
He Bond movies get re-booted every few years, usually win a different approach to the same character. That is precisely what Marvel Studios are tempting to do with the new Fantastic Four.
The FF movies could, should and hopefully will be different stories, so the only difference between this and the multiple 007 refreshes is the number of characters.
Sorry but you are way of course here the JB films are not a reboot they have a recurring character ( ableit sometimes a different actor ) a continuation of the character unlike the FF4 which is just a reboot of a franchise .

That would be great. For my money Beck has still written the most catchy MCU theme, given the best development. (Doctor Strange theme is super memorable but alas didn’t get much of a workout IMO.)
Count me as someone excited for this film... if it is worth my time. I'm a great big Jack Kirby fan and as a kid I loved the Fantastic Four and in my life I've suffered through two bad iterations and a Roger Corman oddity. This should work but never does. I loved the announcement artwork they unveiled today and it filled me with a great spirit to see. Of the cast I'm quite fond of Ebon Moss-Bacarach (finally a Jew with a hot temper and striking blue eyes cast as Ben Grimm!) and Vanessa Kirby (finally a knockout blonde cast as Sue Storm!). I'd be very excited to hear what Christophe Beck could bring to the Fantastic Four but I think Michael Giacchino's score for The Incredibles is a good F4 soundtrack to read to. We shall see what becomes of this but with that state of the genre and the MCU franchise this thing better shine bright like a goddamn diamond.
I would argue the existence of The Incredibles proves a great Fantastic Four film could be made. We already have a decent cast this time, we just have to get the right screenplay.
P.S. To the four color Fantastic Four fans among us: I highly recommend two new F4 books that should be readily available. Walter Mosley's The Thing: Next Big Thing (art by Tom Reilly) chronicles the Thing's new romances and clobberin' adventures in a stunning solo series. And then Alex Ross' Fantastic Four: Full Circle which Ross writes, illustrates, and fully paints this swinging psychedelia expansion to the old Lee/Kirby F4 story "This Man... This Monster." My only wish is that it has been printed with blacklight responsive ink because the color work from Ross' palette is just gorgeous and evocative. Brilliant panel layouts and splash pages too.
