Seriously people, how can you judge how good a movie is by the cast?

Because we're not judging it, we're judging the casting choices and making predictions about the movie from it. There's an important difference there. Casting choices also provide insight into the direction of a movie, which they certainly do here. Don't like Ultimate Fantastic Four? You probably won't like the movie, then, as the casting of younger actors in the roles of Reed and Ben reveals the influence those comics have on this reboot.

And no one here (at least) is making a special issue out of an African-American actor playing Johnny Storm, so I don't know why you make such an issue out of it.
