Fantastic Four will be released 7th of August this year, and frankly nobody seems to care about this movie. And that got me thinking, why wouldn't anyone be pumped about one of the most Iconic Super-hero teams in CBM history brought to screen?
When Fox announced that they were rebooting Fanstic Four there was a lot of mixed reactions, many people were against it due to not belonging in the MCU but instead with the X-men.
Even more people were dropping their enthusiasm when the leading cast members were announced.
I am the first one to admit that an african-american actor for the role of Johhny Storm was wrong. Not because I he is a black person but because Johnny Storm is an Iconic super-hero, loved by many fans, and if we're honest the only good thing from the original 2 movies.
I think Fox should have created another character for the Human-Torch if they had to use Michael B. Jordan for that role, in that way more people would be cool with it I think, but then you would get angry people saying that you can't have Fantastic Four without Johnny, so there is never pleasing everyone.
Don't get me wrong, I like Michael B. Jordan, he is a fine actor and a cool dude but he just isn't a good casting choice for Johnny Storm.
No I finally get to the point where I explain why I think this movie will be good.
The Director, Josh Trank:
He is a relatively unknown director and had some movies that were good and some that were awful.
That being said, I do think he is a good choice to direct this movie, he has a good manner of telling a story through a movie and I think this will come in very handy in a CBM like this.
The movie is written by Simon Kinberg, I would call him the David Goyer of Fox, that means that he has some amazing story's and some that were very bad, I think that this with the direction of Trank will become a good draft.
My final thing to conclude my article is in this way:
Yep, Miles Teller
When they casted him as the leader of the Fantastic Four I reacted like most of you guys:
But then I saw him in Whiplash, and I was completly sold.
I had a moment of realisation and gain my faith in this project again.
He is fit to lead this team, he is a quality actor he can go into depths with scenes like very few actors can.
I beleave that Reed will steal the show in this movie.
So to conclude my article:
I do think this movie will be a successful CBM, it will not break box-office records, but still I think it could gross 700 million world-wide.
That's not bad at all actually, but Box-Office results don't necessarily mean quality (Iron Man 3, Furious 7 ugh).
If I may specualate a number I think it will score a 7,5-8 at IMDB.
