Is it just me, or is it weird that a trailer for a huge comic book movie property get released on a Sunday? Sure, I know last week was nerd city with all the amazingly fun trailers that hit, some for films over a year away, but Fantastic Four comes out this August and I couldn’t care less at this point.
Look, I’m a fan of the Fantastic Four and even enjoyed the last film for the silly fun that it was, but this one has just been rubbing me the wrong way. Not least of which is that they needlessly changed the entire origin story for the team and that Doctor Doom look like he belongs in a fetish club.
Interdimensional travel… Really? That’s the best you can come up with. Also, I’m pretty over every damn reboot having to go into the origin story all over again. I don’t know, the trailer does show some promise, but with the lack of marketing push that this film is getting, I’m wondering if it’s just being made to keep the license from going back to Marvel.
Check out the trailer below and let me know what you think and if I’m totally of base on this one.
