Have the team get their powers in the Negative Zone, like they basically did in this flick, and then fight Annihlus (sp?) and his alien army.  They could lay the groundwork of who Doom is and what he can do in the first flick; maybe he helps win the day but something happens that turns him EVIL.  Second movie is the FF vs. Doom.

It would probably help if the people making the movies had more than a passing knowledge of the source material.

That would have been a better way to handle it. Or any of the ones along those lines.

But agreed with you and Eox, I never understood why they felt the need to change the characters. Doom's story is what makes him cool, not the metal suit and constant fist shaking. I knock the X-men movies a lot, but one think I did think they got right was Magneto. Probably my favorite villain when I was a kid and they did him justice. Overconfident, Holocaust survivor, genuinely doesn't want to hurt his own kind. They could have just given him a German accent to make him seem scary, but they did pretty good.
