Fantastic Four will historically be known as what killed the comic movie craze!

I just looked on IMDB. 1994 FF rating is = 3.9. 2015 FF rating - 4.0.

Although, some reviewers noted that Jessica Alba's portrayal of Sue Storm would have never have flown in today's world -- you know, a Hispanic actress playing effectively in "white face" -- with dyed blonde hair & blue contact lenses.

 

True -- I don't recall any outrage at her (arbitrary race-changing) casting then.

 

And those reviewers should be ridiculed for making broad generalizations. My fiancé is Spanish and Chilean, and she has natural blonde hair and blue eyes. Louis CK is a ginger Mexican. The theory that all Hispanics are swarthy brunettes is an idea that shouldn't fly in today's world.

 

Louis C.K. isn't a ginger Mexican; he has a white mother and his father is half Hungarian and half Mexican. He is a ginger caucasian with a bit of Mexican. One quarter doesn't make you a Mexican.

More Mexican than Carlos Mencia.

That's true, but he lived in Mexico as a child, spoke Spanish before he learned English, and still has family that lives there. The point is, assuming that everyone of Latino/Hispanic descent is dark skinned is ignorant.

You know as well as I do that if the situation was reverse, you wouldn't call him white.

Yeah -- and never forget that Charlize Theron is African, with Africkaans, not English, as her first language.

 

It's not like people were up in arms over an African playing Aeon Flux.

When did 'white' become an ethnicity?
