Well, the trailer for this is now being shown at theatres. However, a cam version of it is already online. I know that since the first film was pretty bad, I shouldn't get excited over this. However, from the trailer, it looks to be shaping up well. It looks like they spent more money on the sequence in the trailer than they did for the entire first film. Also, the director has said that DOOM will be making an appearance (not to be confused with doom from the first film, who didn't deserve capitalisation). All in all, colour me excited:

They managed to fuck up just about everything I love about the Fantastic Four in the first film. Except for maybe, sometimes, Johnny Storm.
Is Tim Story directing this one, too?
Yes, sadly.
I've always said, with how poor the last one was, they might as well have just let me do it. It would have been about Dr. Doom sending the Fantastic Four back in time to steal Blackbeard's gold.
You know, Oscar bait.
I really want this to be good, but I'm not that optimistic. I was actually hoping there wouldn't be a sequel, so it would be easier to reboot the franchise a few years down the road.
Oh well. We'll see how it goes. The teaser trailer was pretty good, at least.
Why would the FF steal from the Thing? :P
No, you see, they go back to steal Blackbeard's gold, only for it to turn out The Thing IS Blackbeard.
Clearly one of the most brilliant stories ever written. I love it so. Bonus points for Dr. Doom's first appearance, too.
I chalk it up to poor direction, though.
Lame.
bingo.
Same here, except for Doom. The actor they got was fine, and so was the backstory. The thing that messed it all up was that, in the end, he looked and sounded like a lame monster from a B horror movie, not at all what the character should be like.
I mean, FF4 is supposed to be lighthearted and cheesy (from what I know), but the movie was just "let's do this stuff just to do stuff!"
Sort of the same idea with X3. God. Damn. That. Movie.
Anyway, I am not looking forward to more Jessica Alba action, just like I'm so sad that they're writing her a totally new part for the second Sin City.
Silver Surfer looked awesome, and we'll all end up seeing it just so we can bitch about it here
That board room scene was ripped right from Spider-Man. The entire idea of being made of metal is just retarded, how can you possibly be able to move and still retain that level of durability?
Ask colossus...
Regardless, I liked the first movie. Of course, my expectations for it could not have been lower thanks to comic purists like yourselves, so that may have had something to do with it.
Durability? Metal is more durable than flesh, isn't it? I sort of agree, though. I mean, what are they going to have in FF2? A man made out of rock?
That trailer looked... blurry. I want to see a proper HD encode of this trailer, because I liked the first film and the Silver Surfer is awesome.
Anally.
When they make the last FF movie with Doom as the big villain, it totally needs old school Doom. Like, Dooms got Reed held by Doombots and shit.
"Why do you do what you do?"
"To fuck with you, really."
Not having Galactus in this one just lets them have the biggest cliffhanger and sequel set-up ever. And gives them a few more years to figure out how the hell Galactus is going to work on the big screen.
That'd be a great ending.
They bring Silver Surfer to something resembling the edge of defeat, and he stands up.
Reed finally gets a word in edgewise and asks "Why are you here? We couldn't stop you from destroying the planet if we tried. What is your purpose here?"
And the movie ends with Silver Surfer pointing up, and says "Not my purpose. His."
And the movie closes.
See, that's a great ending, but it presupposes that this movie will be good enough to deserve a sequel (See Super Mario Bros).
If the first FF movie was good enough to warrant a sequel, it's pretty much a sure thing that this one will get one, too.
Agreed
that and "Namor buys a movie studio so he can hire the F4 and try to kill the guys so he score with Sue" issue
I don't know. The first made money, but was panned by most everyone. How much of a repeat audience can they necessarily hope to pull in with such a weak lead?
A lot of the movies draw on Ultimate Universe in some ways. Which is logical, you get more streamlined origin stories and all that which translate better to film.
And in some instances the movies guided the Ultimate versions. I'm pretty sure movie Rogue was introduced before Ultimate Rogue, and was pretty much the template they used. I feel like there were other examples, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
That is fucking beyond brilliant. Holy shit.
