I should be watching G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation as well.

Just read the first reviews for Fantastic 4 and they are UGLY, as in worse than Jonah Hex ugly. On the bright side, maybe this means Marvel can finally get the rights back.

Even if Marvel gets them back, I don't think we'll ever get another feature film. These movies have effectively ruined the property in the eyes of the general public. Even Hulk isn't getting his own movie, and everybody loves the current version.

The reason the Hulk isn't getting his own movie isn't because the property was ruined. While Marvel may own movie production rights to the hulk, Universal Pictures still owns the distribution rights. Once that gets sorted out, then possibly we'll see a new solo Hulk movie.

Latest estimates have FF coming in under $30 mil for the weekend, pretty brutal. A sequel has been announced already but we'll see.

Funny you mention the Hulk, IMO the path to glory for the FF is to have the rights revert to Disney so they can finally do a Hulk/Thing battle.

Does it bug anyone else that the Hulk doesn't talk more? In the comics the Hulk refers to himself in the 3rd person and calls his enemy bug-ears or whatever, seems like there's a lot of humor being left on the table. What about "Hulk is the strongest one there is" or "The madder Hulk gets the stronger Hulk gets"? A couple classic Hulk lines would hit the spot.

I'm tempted to see FF tomorrow, it's playing with Ant-Man at the local drive in. Two movies for nine bucks and I think I might even have a coupon for a free popcorn somewhere. i sat through Pixels last week, so I think i can handle FF even with the bad reviews.

Final tally is in, FF took in 25.7 mil opening weekend, that's pretty much a car wreck. Anyone know when the next superhero movie is? We get one this fall?

The thing I don't get is that EVERYONE saw this coming. Maybe not this final under 30 million dollar number, but the indifference and likely failure. It's a head-scratcher for sure.

I'm pretty sure the next "big" one is Deadpool in February.

That's such a different beast though since it's going for a hard R rating and is already trending very well.
