New Fantastic Four pictures released
Loads of sites are carrying pictures of the new Fab Four, but I've selected Rope of Silicon for their gallery selecting some of the better pictures that have been released, including the last four which are the latest doing the rounds.
For all the speculation of how bad this movie could be because of the re-writes, etc, you have to say that it looks spectacular. They have captured the look and feel perfectly. We just have to hope there is a good story behind the gloss.
Who's looking forward to this? Is it just the comic fans among us or are there people out there who are genuinely interested in the movie without knowing the FF4? Could it work?

I don't know about the FF film.
I smell another Marvel dud here. Not as bad as Elektra or Daredevil though. And obviously not as bad as the Man-Thing film now going straight to TV.

I think this will be pretty fun. Not nearly as good as the X-Men and Spiderman movies, but just a good 90 minutes of comic book fun.
Plus, any movie with Jessica Alba in it already gets an extra point from me ;-)

I think it's gonna suck to tell you the truth. Sure Alba is good eye candy , but does that make the movie good?Nope. Bad casting , script rewrites . etc all point to signs of a big failure.

I went to Elektra for Garner, I will go to F4 for Alba.
Besides, it looks to have a few good scenes in it. I don't ask for much. Just thrill me a few times.

I agree with most of the comments here. I mean this in no way is going to be X-men or Spiderman. If that was the intention, they would have a CG Thing and Dr Dooms outfit would be a little bit more menacing. However, the team work story that will be implicit in this movie, as well as some pretty good action, should be entertaining. And yeah Alba has a rocking body, so that will be fun too.

I think for everyone who is not a comic book fan this movie will not even register on their radar. Personally, I'm squirming in my seat waiting for the release. F4 was my first comic of choice.
Everyone else will say "F4? Que?"

Bombadil - Keep seeing movies for stupid reasons like a hot chick and Hollywood will keep pumping out utter crap for reasons like that :)

Ever since the animated series The Venture Bros. (on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim) viciously parodied them, I can't look at the FF the same way again.

Well, I don't mean to say that the movie looks bad, it doesn't. But the actors are like... the worst I've ever seen. Ok, maybe not, but they're pretty close to that. And I won't even talk about Jessica's acting abilities which would be really hard to find, sure she is an eye candy, but that's all there is to her.

I loved the movie. it was hilarious and had some great action seens. Plus, Johnny storm looked good as well as Sue storm. It is agreat movie and most everyone here on this site must have been watching a different fantastic four because it is great. I Enjoyed it more than Xmen and Spider-man because unlike X-men, it had some great comedy.

I do look forward to this Rich as I have read the comics although not all of it, just enough for me to know the characters and their adventures.
I am actually excited about this mainly due to Ioan Gruffudd. Yum!!!
