Easily the best Fantastic Four film, not that it’s a high bar. Fourth time was definitely the charm (not including the unreleased 90s film).

80/100 Our 4 heroes must save the world from a being that eats planets. This was a really fun and nostalgic entry in the MCU lexicon. Taking place in the 60s in a different universe, it perfectly blends the 60s feel and aesthetics with advanced technology. The family dynamics were nicely presented with depth, heart and humor. The action is top notch and the special effects were awe inspiring in scale. Galactus made a great omnipotent being and the Silver Surfer was also very well portrayed. We've waited far too long for a good F4 movie and I'm so glad to finally see it. -- DrNostromo.com

There’s a distinctive charm to “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” a refreshing, visually inventive take on the MCU formula. Director Matt Shakman brings Marvel’s First Family into a retro-futuristic 1960s setting that makes the movie stand out from the typical summer superhero fare. Shakman delivers a world of bold colors, bubble-helmeted scientists, and sleek, sci-fi tech that’s unexpectedly delightful, if a bit slow moving. Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) and his wife Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) have their first baby on the way. They, along with Reed’s brother-in-law Johnny (Joseph Quinn) and best friend Ben (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), are excited to welcome a new bundle of joy into their home. But when a mysterious woman known as Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) shows up with a dire warning from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson), Sue and Reed are given an impossible choice: give up their newborn son to save Earth, or let the entire planet be destroyed. This conflict sounds compelling, but it’s also where the film stumbles. Galactus is more of a looming concept than a compelling villain, with motivations that feel too impersonal and very vague. Silver Surfer is a terrific character with an interesting back story, but the movie never quite gives her enough to do. The Four aren’t bogged down with an elaborate origin story either, and it works well here. They’re already established by the time we meet them, which allows for more time spent on character dynamics. I could see how casual audiences who are less familiar with the comic book characters could find the lack of an origin story disappointing, but the actors and their chemistry more than make up for it. The film leans into its “found family” theme with heart and sincerity, placing an emphasis on character over spectacle. The strong performances from the cast boost the film’s overall credibility, and the special effects are (admittedly) top notch. The themes lean heavily on the idea that family is not only biological, but also can be chosen, and there’s a nice balance between the need to be superheroes as well as parents and a strongly bonded family. Although there is plenty to like here, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” isn’t a movie I’d ever want to revisit. I can’t honestly say that I’m excited to see any of these characters in future films, and I actually found the Four to be a little bit boring. And while it’s so nice to see a Marvel film that isn’t trying desperately to be forcefully stuffed into some extended universe timeline, the movie doesn’t entirely escape the studio’s usual pitfalls.

**Not bad!!** Because of the crap Marvel has been pumping overt the last decade, I went to watch this movie with very low hopes. It was a surprising experience that the movie turned out to be pretty OK. Storyline is not too complicated. It is a simple predictable story without too much twisted plots or surprises. Nonetheless, the storytelling is captivating and you don’t realize how the 1:30 hr passed. Acting is pretty decent, Pedro Pascal shines in his acting. There is no typical Marvel BS in this movie. If I had seen this movie about 15 years ago, I would have called it an average. But I am so sick and fatigued with crap movies these days, that even a normal movie like this feels good. Overall it is worth watching.
