Best Of

My only word on this new reboot of the FF is that the story is going to have to be damn good in order to outweigh the poor decisions of choosing the cast. As it currently stands, I have no interest in seeing it.

YOU...

Not only was this film never on my must-see list to begin with, but now I want to go and have my brain scrubbed of all memory of its ever having been mentioned at all, even in passing.

ARE...

Yeah. I'm not sold. I'm walking away from this one. Haven't liked anything I'd heard up to this point, and I'm not seeing anything here to win me over. My first impression on seeing the trailer was "Who are these guys!?"

A...

That one pic is brilliant... but I've seen a couple of others that are less impressive. It's not enough to lure me into the theater.

BROKEN...

I'll admire the posters from afar. And then go see Ant-Man.

RECORD...

Definitely not going to this movie. Anytime I see the trailer, poster or pics, the thought that keeps automatically popping up in my mind is, "I don't know these people".

Not wasting my money.

!!!

I am so looking forward to the Fantastic Four reboot.

Not this one; the next one.

Haha... Seriously... give it up.

And those were the hits, folks! Be back next week, and remember to keep looking to the stars!

Was your theater empty at the end of the credits or were a number of theater-goers still hanging out, perhaps expecting a post-credits scene? Anyone think the mid-credits scene was just a rehash or cut from the GotG movie?

Was that all they could come up with?

With the caveat that this was a Thursday night crowd (I lucked out that my theater at evening shows, so my old and tired self didn't have to do a midnight), so this was a crowd that had to already be engaged and aware enough to FIND a showing of a movie scheduled to open the next day--

A chunk of the crowd bounded out as soon as the movie finished. Many lingered for the special treat. I overheard a lot of people telling each other that there was nothing else to wait for, but a little group of us, surely less than a tenth of the crowd, stayed anyway, thinking that they had heard a false rumor or a fake-out or something. I believed that if Whedon made a point of telling whatever audience he could reach that there was no stinger, that it would be the truth. But after the whole conversation about this, I was curious what the crowd would do.

When there was no stinger, there were some who sucked their teeth or "oww, come on!"-ed.


...And then swore off Marvel movies forever, and began lives of crime.

...but, we're trained to stay until the end. Everyone, not just us fans. I can't believe a large number left!!!
