Maxvorstadt: Why can`t they make a movie about a super hero that has never been in a movie? Wonder Wart-Hog, for example, would be great!!!
Marvel released Ant-Man recently. And it is actually surprisingly good.
tinyE: The problem isn't the F4, the problem is reboots and super hero movies period. I love them but come on man, this is getting stupid! :P
Telika: I don't know. Reboot fatigue may play a role, but I still suspect that a few dozen batman reboots would still make quite a few entries, and that the fantastic four are still, as a base material, a bit too irremediably hannah-barberesque for today's tastes. Were the other fantastic four movies big successes ?
There has been a great Fantastic Four movie: Pixar's The Incredibles (it's FF in all but in name).
The base material is never the reason a movie is bad. It's the script. Ant-Man is one of the most ridiculous superheroes I can think of, way less interesting than FF, and its movie is actually great. Because they remembered to write a good script, with believable characters, pleasant jokes, and a nice plot. On the other hand, Wolverine is a great character and his movies are really underwhelming.
