I am such a geek, I love comics and I am passionate about film makers keeping to the storyline's and time honoured myths and backstory that have developed over the years, so it annoys me a great deal when people make a comic into a movie and destroy years of back story - can we say X Men III and the wet blanket they made of the Phoenix (and the hash up of the story).
So what does this have to do with the new F4 movie?
Well, to go back in time the first one was rubbish - it lacked something, like credible passionate characters - in fact the pages of the script probably were les wooden.
APPARENTLY they had learnt for the second one in the frnachise, after the very disappointing 2005 box office draw. In some respects it may be better, but I have my doubts.
I realise that a comic book adaptation must not alienate a new audience that know nothing about the comic itself, but please in doing so, do not alienate the fans that do.
I mean, Galactus A CLOUD! And how wooden were the acting - time for a new Sue Storm maybe. And Von Doom, no bite this time.
oh and last but not least - Stan Lee guesting in every adaptation of his comics is getting BORING now.
