Picked this off of a website:

Known Superhuman Powers: While in his armor, Dr. Doom can lift (press) approximately 2 tons. He is one of the smartest men in the world and has an almost endless variety of weapons and equipment at his disposal. At the very least, Doom's armor contains a force field and concussion beams -- though more weapons may also be included. Dr. Doom also has the ability to switch minds with another person and he possesses a small amount of mystical knowledge as well.

I thought that the trailer looked alright, nothing special but it'll give you a little taste of what the actual movie will turn out like

Has anyone seen the recent issue of Game Informer, the front cover is the cast as the FF4. They look alright, and the game doesnt look so bad either.

I thought the same thing when i first saw the trailer on this little girly 15" computer monitor of mine, but when i saw it in the theatre, he does look like the rock man he should be.

Yeah, but can he do this? *rolls tongue*

I donno maybe I'm not givin it much of a chance, and I'm still willing to to pay to see it, but the trailer at least, hasn't got my hopes up.
Personally, I thought the trailer was great.

I've heard that they are basing this film off of the new Ultimate Fantastic Four comic series. I don't care for Marvel's Ultimate line even though most of them are best sellers but I can understand an origin film in which the characters are younger. I also like the concept of Dr. Doom being enhanced in the same accident as the FF. Since the FF's origin was based on their desire to get to the moon back in 1961, they certainly needed to update it.

This film seems to be on the right track and I've liked everything official that I've read and seen so far. Following on the heals of The Incredibles, I think this movie will be a huge hit. Since The Incredibles was just an imitation of the FF, why wouldn't everyone who enjoyed The Incredibles not want to see the FF?



And this is my BOOMstick!

I just saw the trailer for this movie again, and Jessica Alba aside, I'm agreeing with you, the SFX aren't looking too good. I'm still not sold on the casting either for this flick Although he just got done playing a comic hero, Ron Perlman would've been a much better fit as Ben Grimm, or even Michael Duncan Clarke would've been a better choice than Chiklis as the Thing.
It may turn out to have some entertainment value, although I'm sure it's only gonna be to see Jessica Alba back in a form fitting leather uniform (since her DarkAngel days).
If Marvel was gonna release a new superhero team flick in hopes of capturing some major dollars this spring/summer, they shoulda pushed up there making of "The Ultimates". Now THAT'S a movie I'm looking forward to seeing

I have to disagree. When i first saw the trailer on the computer, i wasnt too impressed witht the cgi's. But then i saw it on the big screen and it looked awesome. I'm hoping it stays that way for the entire show.

Another thing i thought was that "The Thing" was created in a cgi form until a friend of mine who was an extra in it and was on set alot, saw him upclose and says it was an actual suit. He told me the suit looked genuine and was FANTASTIC. heh heh get it....fantastic? oh never mind.

He is right. It is Michael Chiklis from F/X's The Shield inside that costume. Although in some scenes, CGI was probably needed.

Jessica Alba, again?
i wonder why, yeah...
1) i know how difficult it is to find a REAL blonde nowadays ( i know that myself...), but *****, Jessica is not even close to being ashblonde... and The Invisible Girl has always been, in the comics at least
2) come on, she's no model either, seen her in Elektra too, and she DOES have fat on her tummy! considering her age, wait till you see how she looks when she's 40, she's no Uma...
3) and it won't be because of any acting talent either... or they better could 've taken anyone else...
Jess =

You've confused temporary "it girls" of the moment Jessica Alba and Jennifer Garner.



Jessica Alba was TV's "Dark Angel" who appeared in comic book movies Sin City and the upcoming The Fantastic Four. Jennifer Garner is from TV's "Alias" who appeared in the comic book movies Daredevil and Elektra.

oh, *****, yeah. ........ i really need one more coffee this morning... i always kinda get them mixed up, because of the tv shows Alias and Dark Angel i happened to see a few times (without really watching either) on TV around the same period.
my excuses... to all fans of Jessica!
i like her a bit more than Jennifer - after all, she plays in Sin City!!, and is a lil bit less Barbie-like to my eyes.
(point 1) is still relevant though. and point 3), like i said, less maybe, especially considering that i don't expect much from the acting in F4.)
now, i'm getting my coffee, nope, no sugar!!!!!!!
