The fantastic Four were allways up there in my list of coolest super heros, oh well, at least there's <a href='http://batmanbegins.warnerbros.com/trailer_main.html' target='_blank'>this</a> if the case isn't over by July 1st.

Apparently a studio had the rights to it and made a pretty crappy version just before those rights ran out, solely in order to get a big studio to buy it off of them for much more than it ever would have made at the box office, so that the crappy version wouldn't be out there ahead of the big hollywood version. And it's only taken them 11 years to finally get the good version out...
I like the fantastic four!
Reed is not pointless. You wana get into a fistfight with a guy that can stop bullets with his body? or just envelope you?
I say the film will be fun (not good, just fun, like most super hero movies)
oh, and bah on marvel for still trying to get NCSoft (never gona work, NCSoft did way to much to protect their arses <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
On the subject of superhero movies though, I'm getting really sick of having to put up with 45 minutes of "this is how the character came to be" at the start of the movies. Just start with the superhero already made, dammit, just like in comic books. Any necessary backstory can be handled with exposition.
On a similar note, I hope the Batman movie is good. I like Batman's actor (his name escapes me at the moment, but I usually know it. eat crap). I thought he was pretty good in American Psycho.
Hehehe...if you are a Batman fan, look for a fan movie called Batman: Dead End (I found it on theforce.net). Batman is no sissy boy in that fan flick. ^_^
Fantastic 4 looks like its worth paying for (rather than sneaking in like I do for every movie).
I kind of liked Spiderman 2, though I feel bad about not paying money to see it.
See if you can convince someone to buy you a ticket to go see it, then you don't have to compromise your morals, and can still watch it.
