I'm happy to see visitors to this site getting pissed off over the glib and judgemental "reporting"on this site.
People have been saying the Superman movie is going to suck while it was still in pre-production.
"Batman Begins" was also supposed to be "craptastic" according to this site.
Who are the morons running this site that seem to think that have fortune telling abilities?
I'm just so tired of AICN, this site, and countless other "fan sites" that review a movie a year or two in advance and then prop themselves up with these opinions even after the movie gets released and does well.

As for the comic book geeks, you all need to think about something. No one is ever going to make a comic based movie (and I'm not talking about graphic novels meant for adults like Sin City)that is 100% true to the source material as the market cannot bear a feature film that only a couple of hundred people are "in on".
At the risk of getting a flame session going. Fantastic Four was not that bad of a movie. it succeeded in doing what it set out to do which is a stupid, popcorn movie that never had any aspirations to be anything else. The whole point of that movie was to look at the effects and Jessica Alba and go "cool".
Had they been true to the storyline then about 50 people would have gone to see it.
Besides if you are a true fan of source material and are afraid to see any Hollywood version then your choice is simple; don't go to the movie. I don't know why "fans" seem to think that if they bitch long enough a $100,000,000 movie is going to be changed.
Everyone just needs to relax, wait for the damn movie to get released, then form opinions.
I remeber a very long time ago seeing a trailer in the theater for some stupid Sci-Fi flick. God it looked awfull. Everyone in my group talked about it and we all came to opinion that based on this early trailer that the movie was going to be horrid and we swore never to go see it. 6 months later this little movie called "Star Wars" was released and broke all kinds of records. My group of friends and I finally relented and saw it. After that we had a contest with each other as to who would see it the most times (this was before video so there was no "wait until the movie comes out" on VHS).
Enough said....
Let the flaming begin!!!
