Pretty much the exact opposite of what I was hoping for.

But pretty much exactly what you were expecting, right?

I see they went with a five-year-old for Reed.

[Quasar]

Yup.

And what's the deal with Fox always getting guys who stand at 5'7" to play The Ever-Lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing?

I always joke about how short Tom Hardy is, but even he's taller than Fox's Ben Grimms.

Bens Grimm?

Is it not now just a given that Fox would make a total Kanye of this?

The real question is whether or not this can be worse than the Tim Story movies.

Being as bad would already take a lot. Being worse is hard to imagine.

They're off to a good start.

Either I'm getting too damn old, because I think that cast looks like children and not scientists, or this is really a film "The Fantastic Four-Year-Olds." They all look horribly miscast.

Someone on Facebook pointed out that the actor playing Reed looks like k.d. lang, and now it's all I can see when I look at him.

I look at Avengers and the near perfect casting of them all in their respective roles / franchises. Then I look at this cast line up and wonder what it is they don't get?

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

I really, really wish they'd let the rights revert to Marvel on this one. They still have the Mutants. The mutant movies have even been lucrative for them. The FF movies didn't make much of a splash. Most fans just wound up making fun of them.

The Fantastic Four would have been useful when bridging the gap between the Earth/Terran Marvel and Cosmic Marvel.

With the amount of cash currently sloshing around both sets of franchises you would think they could all get in a room and make a deal of some kind, if only for cameos and touch points to boost both franchises.
