    I shouldn't be surprised or disappointed.

    Yet I'm surprised and disappointed.

    No, it sounds like what happens is some drunken chimps got at the screenplay while nobody was looking and somehow it made it into the final draft and they shot the scenes before anybody noticed their mistake.

    A least the abuse subplot sounds super made up

    It's incredibly easy to see a Hollywood creative keeping Sue from the mission because of some dumb horseshit

    wait. You're gunna do something stupid like that and not...
    Have Doom zapped from their mistake and you know have motivation or something? You're gunna do it to Sue? Really? Come on now.

    Not sure if serious. If serious, swing and a miss on both this and the thing you are referencing. Failure to see the difference would be concerning.

    To be fair, that tech is ridiculously dangerous, and as the movie points out several times
    Lang is expendable. Likable, but expendable. Hope isn't.

    It's a lot less egregious sounding then what goes down in Fantastic Four, apparently.

    It doesn't sound like anyone knows about it.
    Mad that their corporate-minded boss (Tim Blake Nelson) wants to have the initial tests done with NASA astronauts, Reed, Johnny and Victor — giddy from a night of drinking — decide that they’ll secretly strap themselves into the machine and journey to the other realm so that they can get the glory of being the first to step foot on this new world. Impulsively, Reed calls Ben in the middle of the night to join them on the impromptu expedition, figuring that his old friend should be a part of a scientific breakthrough he helped Reed begin long ago.

    Like.

    I don't agree with every choice in the DCCU or the MCU, but I haven't quite seen anything as mean spirited and ugly as this new abuse business.

    It makes me think of the Mitchell and Webb sketch called "Are We the Baddies?"

    "Yes, and if we were fighting an army marching under the banner of a rat's anus, I'd feel a lot better."

    Marvel shouldn't have cancelled Fantastic Four because short of making it a Brad Meltzer/Rob Linfield joint just about any series they could put out would look absolutely incredible compared to this movie

    And what the fuck is up with Josh Trank and stories of child abuse? It was bad enough he made the villain of Chronicle the abused one, but now Ben Grimm, a character who is already angsty enough for obvious reasons needs an abuse back story? The fuck?

    in fact the movie apparently only has 2 real action scenes throughout

    It's literally just the first sequence in the Negative Zone/Planet X/Xen and then the climax. That's it.

    But this is way worse than I ever expected

    I'm kind of bummed because a lot of the racist hating on Michael B. Jordan will feel vindicated after this bombs. On the other hand, jesus shit what an atrocity this sounds like.

    Major movie companies were only interested in Trank and Landis if they would do Chronicle 2.

    Trank got caught up in that.

    I have some nights off coming up, we should watch the 1994 Corman version of Fantastic Four on a stream or something. At least Corman had the courtesy to make it SO bad it's kinda good.

    The Doom in that movie at least looks and acts like Doom

    Maybe the Doom who would toot the sea horn, but Doom all the same!

    I was hoping since the first announcement, I don't know if I outright predicted it, either way I'm happy, now for phase 2 of selling the rights back already!

    It was kinda a given it was gonna be a trainwreck though just because their filming and release dates were basically matching the dates they HAD to use to keep the rights.
