Chiklis did a good job as Ben Grimm. He seemed to poor his heart out to the role. I would love to see them all return but with a different director, a different actoe playing Doom, and under the Marvel studio flagship. Nuff Said.

[The Xenos]

No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable franchise, the Fantastic Four , idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!

[CaptQuirk]

They have set it up for Puppet Master, but I would still like to see the MoleMan, and particularly the Inhumans. But at the very top of my list? Spidey vs Fantastic Four! Yeah, it isn't bloody likely, but then, as a kid I never thought I'd really see these heroes done well on the big screen. But here we are, and dreams do sometimes come true.

[Mtheumer]

Honestly, Galactus isn't dead and neither is the Surfer. We could bring the original story on track showing the real Galactus trying again to destroy the Earth. We could get a little history and role over to a Surfer movie.

I'd love to see another one,personally I think they were getting better as they went on and I think perhaps a third film would hit it's peak if they featured a story with Prince Namor and all that stuff.
Possibly get another director though, someone with more of a vision to pull this kind of stuff off, tim Story seems like a bit of a hack to me, much like Brett Ratner on x-3.

[CaptQuirk]

I don't know if I would call him a hack. FF didn't suck at all like Superman Returns. The characters had a bit of chemistry that showed the core of the Fantastic Four. It was a bit muddled and slow at time, but the only thing that I really hated about it, was the blatant product placement. I felt the second one was a multi-million dollar commercial for Chrysler.

I personally hate the FF movies. That travesty they called a Silver Surfer portrayal...Jessica Alba is totally hot but she should not have ebeen Sue Storm. Ian Groufford is good actor but no Mr.Fantastic. Chris Evans and Chikliss did geat jobs with what they had to work with. Julian McMohn as Doom...poor poor poor casting. And both stories were as weak kneed at a 10 year old at Jonas Brother concert

[Brian003]

Gah! Kill it before it spreads. Rather see the Corman version.

[binbynku]

julian mcmohn a good actor, but not doom by any stretch of the imagination. the main cast was pretty solid. the problem was the people behind the camera. i love tim story, but it was apparent he didnt have much here say in this movie property. he had producers on one side wanting to do a film aimed at toddlers and pre-teens, then he had another set of producers wanting a film aimed at an older audience, i cant see how any director could succeed under those conditions. but with all that said marvel needs to regain control of this property( probably wont happen, like chiklis said the studio did make a nice profit off these movies)

[Trybrow]

well the first one sucked, but the second one was ok, i dont know if that was just relative to the first one. it was a good move to have FF and SS because it introduced a more comicy aspect.

i would see a third movie. just because i like the comic and it would be easier than a reboot.

[Blind Justice]

Forget another FF movie... After the Avengers movie, bring all those Marvel characters (I don't care which studio owns which character, Marvel owns them ALL dammit!)... and let's have a knock-down-drag-out WAR! Yeah that's right, Secret Wars on the big screen! You don't have to put all the characters up there, just certain key characters from all the teams (X-Men, Avengers, FF, Hulk, and Spiderman). Bring on all those villains too! Abomination, Magneto, Doctor Octopus, Dr. Doom, the Leader, the Lizard, Galactus, Ultron, etc...

Alright, so the paychecks would be outrageous, but could you imagine how much money this movie would make worldwide?

[BrettH]

There are plenty of great FF stories to be told, and quite frankly, I found all of the actors to be appropriate for their roles. The only thing disturbing about the last one was the blue contact lenses they gave Jessica Alba to play Sue. They really were a distraction. I wasn't as disappointed with the depiction of the Surfer as many have been - it's not going to be like the comics, folks. That simply won't work. Let's all be thankful that Frank Miller's not directing this stuff.

[ciNe-taRium]

REBOOOT!

[sammo21]

So, Fantastic Four is like the Cthulhu of comic book movies?

[CaptQuirk]

How did you come up with that Sammo?

[shane420nsf]

I also like the 4 actors-it just needs a better director and to be longer than 90 minutes-perhaps w/ The Inhumans?

[Jakester]

Chris Evans said FF is "just resting!" Or was it "stunned" Norwegian blues stun easily. They also pine for the fjiords.
