The Story films did the best in paying homage to it, but Trank’s film pays little more than lip service to it. This has never been fully addressed by the films. If you’ve read any review or article on any FF film, you probably know that the thing that sets them apart from every other comic book team is that they are a family. Hopefully, the powers that be will realize this the next go round. Having a power-mad Doctor Doom who can’t be touched legally due to diplomatic immunity, who craves attaining power so he could fight the devil for his mother’s soul would make him into a more interesting character. Is the fictional Latveria to goofy for fans to grasp? They had no problem with Slovenkia. Did they think Doom’s origin had to be directly tied to the FF’s because he needed superpowers? Well, if moviegoers can believe that Tony Stark can build a suit of armor that could go head to head with the Hulk, they’ll believe Doom can build one just as strong to defeat Reed and the gang. Perhaps the pseudo-Shakespearean way of speaking turned them off.
WILL THEY MAKE FANTASTIC FOUR 3 FULL
We can only guess why filmmakers have shied away from going full Doctor Doom. He’s a great villain for the comic books, and deserves a better treatment in the films. He is bombastic, colorful and larger than life. In other words, the comic book Doom is a man of contradictions. He refers to himself in the third person, rules the fictional Latveria with an iron fist, and hates Reed Richards with a passion beyond all measure. He wants great power, not only to rule the world, but also to rescue his mother’s soul from hell. He is a scientific genius and a powerful sorcerer. He is a megalomaniac with a sense of honor. You’d need a thesis paper to fully delve into what a great character the comic book Doom is, but I’ll try to briefly sum up here. Neither captured the true essence of the character. In Josh Trank’s effort, he was nihilistic loner with a thing for computers. In the Tim Story films, he was a power-mad piece of eurotrash. Doom!ĭoctor Doom is one of Marvel’s most iconic and complex villains, but you would never know that from his appearances is the films. What elements did Hollywood ignore or change that would make for a better movie? The possibilities are endless, but I’ll focus on the four biggest aspects of the comic that Fox has yet to get right that if they did, they would have not have had to do as many reboots. But for a more complex answer, we’d have to look to what made the comic book a success for almost 55 years. Is this last point true? The simple answer is that the ersatz version of the characters that were The Incredibles was a success, so the FF should be one too. And people will begin saying that the Fantastic Four not a viable film property and will never work on the silver screen. Calls for the entire comic book film genre to go on hiatus have already begun. Everything from the tempestuous production period to the uninspired directing and acting to the shoddy pacing will be blamed. With a failure such as this, pundits will be looking for a cause for the film’s bad returns. Fantastic Four is not going to be a success. The film’s opening weekend began as an embargo on reviews was lifted, which would eventually lead to an atrocious 8% Fresh Tomatometer rating, and the weekend would end with the film making only around a paltry $26 million at the box office, slightly more than half what it was projected to make. Unfortunately, that is not what happened. It was supposed to be the Fantastic Four film the would surpass its predecessor not only in financial success but also in critical acclaim. It was a revamping of the property with a younger, cooler cast and a darker, more visceral feel akin to that of the monumentally successful The Dark Knight. This was supposed to be the film to fix all of the franchise’s problems.
