I thought the films did alright. And I know for a fact that the films' director, Tim Story, was at one point, the biggest grossing African-American director, period.

It would help if they got Doctor Doom right.

  • Fantastic cast who can act. Actors who have chemistry and act like they care about one another, plus a great villian who can be the true arch rival for the FF.
  • Fantastic story that extend beyond mindless summer fare. Character development would be good.
  • Fantastic director who understands the source material, works well with his cast, and will pour everything into making an epic movie.
  • Fantastic special effects and CGI. This is often sacrificed when a movie is on a limited budget. I say if you're going to do it, you'd better do it right. Cheap ass F/X no longer fly when the bar has been set so high with other comicbook movies.

How to make a GREAT FF Movie! This guy does an excellent overview with really direct ideas of how to accomplish this, ahem, feat.

Disney branding. Everyone will automatically give it a pass when it's a Disney Marvel movie.

@FlyingSaucersAreReal said: It would help if they got Doctor Doom right. That's the biggest flaw with this movie IMO. I had higher hopes for the second movie after the last scene with the boat going to Latveria, but we never really got the real Doctor Doom.

I thought the general dynamic between Johnny and Ben was pretty good. But I never got the vibe that Reed was a real genius, and I didn't think there was much chemistry between him and Sue. That aside, I didn't think there was enough action in the movie. It was like they were constrained by the budget. I would have liked to have seen them using their powers more in clever ways. There was really just that big fight at the end.
