I saw it last night. The movie is mediocre. It had some strong points. Affleck and Irons were great for example. Cavill and Adams were good as well. However, Jessie Eisenberg was awful. Lex Luthor is the Dr. Doom of DC live action media. What do I mean by that? Like Dr. Doom he is a great comic book character that gets criminally mishandled. Not going play spoiler, but their something about Batman that has nothing to do with Affleck that REALLY bothered me.

I think the problem with Doom is there are just some characters that don't translate well between mediums.  For example, a guy who literally has Doom in his name trying to go around as a legitimate ruler... Eh... it comes off as weird.

If they wanted to actually do a good job with Dr. Doom, they can't do it in a Fantastic Four movie.  They'd have to do a seperate Doom Origin film (along the lines of Books of Doom) and then bring him into the sequel once he's been established.

its funny cause i was thinking the same thing. It can be done, weirder concepts have worked. But the people doing it HAVE TO GIVE A DAMN and IMHO im just not getting that feeling with the DC at least not the movie division.

If it were up to me there would be a Doom film like Books of Doom, great read. that could lead into a Fantastic Four movie which could lead to a Future Foundation fllm, good trilogy right there. One can dream
