Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Anyone got anymore info on the 1994 version?

Yes. See Fantastic Four (1994 movie). -Acjelen 02:32, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page Move

This article is now here to comply with Wikipedia naming conventions for movies. Please help change the wikilinks pointing to Fantastic Four (movie). -Acjelen 02:32, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

At the risk of picking holes, the plot summary never tells us who Ben Grimm is.

[edit] Naming

I believe the real title for the movie is actually Fantastic 4. I think so because on the DVD case, that's how it's labeled. Also, in the movie, I think it shows the logo with a 4 on it. I think the page should be renamed. Anyone else?--M2K e 01:21, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Now the page contents contradict the title. Plus the title contradicts the display text of most references to this page. Almost everywhere it says "Four", except for the title which says "4". Also, if somebody moves this page again, please check for double (or circular) redirects (which was a problem, till I just fixed it). --Rob 03:05, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Ditto, I've moved it back. Almost every single source lists as "Four" rather than "4", contrast this the Star Wars films, there is no dispute over whether the films should be titled "Episode III" or "Episode 3" or "Episode Three" because they are always listed with their roman numerals.

[edit] Clearly inspired?

I don't want to sound nitpicky, but the "plot elements were clearly inspired by Ultimate Fantastic Four" line in the Trivia section seems to be more of a personal opinion. All arguments about how close it is to Ultimate Fantastic Four aside, I think unless that can be backed up by something from, say, the commentary tracks then that item should be removed.--MythicFox 10:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I removed all the speculation regarding inspiration.Blue Spider 03:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't know, I didn't think bad of the movie. --Yancyfry jr 05:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reluctantly

In the trivia section, it lists that Jessica Alba was given the part of invisible Woman "reluctantly" by the casters. Now, it's clear that she wasn't the first choice, but does that necessarily mean they were reluctant to give her the part?

[edit] Paul Walker

The page contained the line "*Paul Walker was considered for the role of Johnny Storm but he was considered too young." This doesn't make any sense, considering the actor that played Johnny is nearly ten years younger than Paul Walker. If there are references that support it, then anyone who would like to can add it again and cite it.BOne 19:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
