The FANTASTIC FOUR move! See Flame On! See Stretchy in action! Don't see Invisible Girl! See Dr. Doom's metal face!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a link over to Joblo.com, who've got a helluva scoop. Looks like someone nabbed a licensing showreel and got it into Joblo's hands. My quicktime wouldn't play the .avi file's picture (Nor would my WMP even try to recognize it), but those sneaky monkeys at Joblo have screen-caps for those without high-speed or with malfunctioning technology, like me. So, it should work fine for most of you and if it doesn't, you got some screencaps to look at! Here's the link! See it before it disappears!
Hopefully it looks better moving, but I haven't really seen one thing about this film that has impressed me 100%. The Thing's body looks pretty good, but his face looks scarily like a burn victem with downs syndrome. The Johnny Storm flame on looks cool, though... but seeing fire move in CG is the real test. What'd it look like? Let me know in the TB below. Reed Richards' CG BRAZIL nod looked pretty retarded to me, but maybe it looks better moving. Invisible Girl (I refuse to call her Invisible Woman since she looks like she's in high school) is sure invisible, so that's good, right? Dr. Doom... is it just me or does Dr. Doom look like Klytus from the 1980 FLASH GORDON flick?
Anyway, I can't shake the feeling that this film is going to be a radical disappointment and be the first huge Marvel film that completely fails. Say what you want about HULK, but they got the look of the brute right, at least... and the cast was comprised of people that looked over the age of 18. DAREDEVIL had some great moments that were pulled right out of the books. PUNISHER... um... wasn't a huge Marvel film... yeah. And it had Chief Brody in it. No Chief Brody in FANTASTIC FOUR. Congrats to Joblo for getting the scoop and I'm gonna try to dig up the file on another computer to see the sucker moving.
