The original franchise was mediocre. But they did a great job casting the characters. It was the tone of the movies that brought them down, it was too cheesy, and kid-like. Even though with reboots, you usually have to choose a new cast, I would like to see the original cast return. To be honest though, this reboot thing is getting out of hand. Why can’t we just get it right the first time.

you said storm was a theif as a teenager Iman is not a teenager thats why they would havea younger actor to play as younger self in a flashback of her stealing cars easy as that did you not notice that James Marsden did not play his younger self as cyclops in the xmen origins

I think it will be a good idea to do a Fantastic 4:Reboot movie and replace all the characters.

I have been a FF4 fan ever since I read FF4 #1 in 1961 when I was 12 years old. I enjoyed both movies and I think that FF4-3 should continue where the first 2 left off. It is alright to make changes in actors ( as in the Batman movies ) but not necessary. I would like to see a darker ( more adult feel ) and I hope to see the Submariner ( Dwayne Johnson ) and the Mole Man.

i’ll definitely miss chris evans as johnny storm. what’s sad is that he’s actually a really good actor (london, anyone?) but he just picks these weird roles… he brought a lot of fun and spunk to torch, and he and chicklis were perfect. but there was a lot of harebrained crap in those movies that didn’t sit well. the whole frankie and johnny thing in silver surfer was just dumb to begin with. the chemistry between the ever-wooden jessica alba and ioan gruffold was non-existent. honestly, i kinda dug julian mcmahon as doom; i just wish he could have had a better chance to darken the role. he’s so good at portraying dark characters.

i winced at the idea of cam as johnny, but i have a stigma with anything ‘twilight’ related.

I’ve been hoping for this, but it still has the potential to be bad. I think they need to take a cue from the Ultimate FF comics. Namely, don’t start with Doom.

Make the first movie about the FF. Establish and explore their characters against a lesser foe. The Inhumans is where I would go, but there’s always Namor, The Mole Man, the Negative Zone, and any other number of FF things to be dealt with. I would even skip the awkward phase right after they get their powers. Show the origin, but then cut to months later when everyone’s comfortable with their new powers because otherwise too much of the movie is wasted on the FF learning stuff about themselves that the audience already knows. “Oh my god. Not only can I catch fire, I can fly!” Yeah, we know, and we didn’t need to sit through you figuring it out.

And then make the second movie all about Doom. By the 2nd movie we know the FF and who they are and the whole movie can be spent on Doom’s character, his origins, and his motivations. He can get the screen time and story time he deserves. The Dark Knight was more about the Joker than Batman, and FF2 rebooted should be more about Doom than the FF.

@ Markus K
I see your point Markus. Ever since Batman Begins came out, studios think they need to reboot every single franchise out there superhero or not. Id to see a hero film that sticks to the origins and actually shows us how and why that that person become he/she is destined to become. For example was the original Batman film, they didnt cover Batman’s origin except in flashbacks. they just skipped to Batman watchin over the city etc. Even though he wasnt played out as a failed comdedian, nor became under the name Redhood. Tim Burton nailed how the joker came to be when Jack Napier was dropped into the vat of chemicals. But in Batman Begins i was expecting Nolan to actually show Batman’s origin after his childhood ordeal, again it was done in flashbacks. As for the TDK the problem i had was it didnt fully feel like we were seeing the joker. More like a imposter that was living up to the joker in a sequel. Heath Ledger’s Joker was great, but it wasnt better. I agreed that Iron man should of taken place in Today’s time in a place like afganistan instead of vietnam. Events in the upcoming Captain America though can happen in the past cause it would make more sense and stick to the comics. But if DC comics intend to take the same road as Marvel and have their heroes excist in the universe, then they should with Green Lantern and have Brandon Routh’s Clark Kent make a cameo. Since Superman: The Movie covered the origins the right way, why not have that film be first in the same universe even though was made 30 yrs ago. But dont forget how Superman Return’s is intended to take place after Superman 2.

The REBOOT DEBATE- SHOULD A MOVIE BE REMADE?

From the first time I saw THE INCREDIBLE HULK (T.V. series with Bill Bixby), to the first REAL superhero movie SUPERMAN (Christopher Reeves), all the way until NOW, I have always loved comic book/video game movies. My pet peeve? Not being FREAKIN’ ACCURATE!! I understand the idea that to create the movie or show (live action or cartoon) exactly like the comic or video game, people MIGHT NOT see it if they know the story. But using the excuse that it’s the more ‘popular’ characters, that it makes more sense to make it this way, or that people won’t except the story and characters (one person commented about GALACTUS was better as a cloud than a giant man in purple and blue floating in space because THAT would be STUPID. Like Super Heroes are reality).
If your going to make a comic book/video game movie, MAKE IT RIGHT!!
MY suggestions for new/rebooted movies-
*X-MEN (Written and directed by Peter Jackson)with the ACTUAL FIRST TEAM- ICEMAN, BEAST (hairless), MARVEL GIRL, CYCLOPS and ANGEL in the black and yellow costumes.
*FANTASTIC FOUR (also directed by Peter Jackson) with the four flying into space, crash to earth THEN transform. In first movie FF would face Dr. Doom, second movie receive warning from the WATCHER and face the SILVER SURFER, then the third movie face the GALACTUS (COMIC BOOK VERSION).
*MICRONAUTS (directed by Kevin Smith).
*ROM- SPACEKNIGHT (directed by George Lucas).
*WAR MACHINE (written and directed by Frank Miller) with IRON-MAN and WAR MACHINE Vs. CRIMSON DYNAMO and TITANIUM MAN. LOTS of battle action for this movie.
*RESIDENT EVIL (Directed by J.J. Abrams) with ACTUAL characters from the game.
*SILENT HILL (Directed by J.J. Abrams) same as RE.

This is just what I would like to see, and hope will happen in my lifetime.

Thank you.

@ Luke
Who would you consider as Dr. Doom then?

IMO, Julian McMahon was the worst part of the films. Yes, even worse than Alba. This is actually one reboot I’m looking forward to, although like everyone else, I’ll miss Evans as the torch.

All i have to say is i will miss 3 people from the previous F4 films. Michael Chiklis, Chris Evans, and Julian McMahon. I thought Chiklis and Evans nailed their roles right on. McMahon’s role as Dr.Doom was pretty good but wouldnt hurt if they made him out to be more bada$$. But if they reboot Superman franchise, maybe McMahon could portray a businessman-like Lex Luthor, not that Kevin spacey was bad or anything.
