The Fantastic Four: First Steps: Review

 The Fantastic Four: First Steps is truly a fantastic movie!

The film's story line was very well written. The scale of this movie was really good, and I enjoyed the tone very much, it felt a lot like The Incredibles. I really loved how well the dynamic was between the Fantastic Four. they really felt like a family in this movie. The film had a lot of heart, and I was glad that the jokes were written well, and that they didn't put them in at certain moments that were supposed to be very serious.

The acting was amazing! Pedro Pascal did a lot better than I was expecting as Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic, he brought a lot of vulnerability to the role, but he also brought out the genius of Reed Richards. Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm was perfect casting. She brought so much heart to the character, and she did a good job at portraying Sue as a mom. Joseph Quinn was easily the best actor in the film. He brought a lot of humor to his character, but they did a great job at showing how vulnerable he was as Johnny Storm. Ebon Moss-Bachrach brought a lot of heart to his role as Ben Grimm / The Thing as well, and I loved how they showcased how much he truly cared for the people of New York. Ralph Ineson was truly amazing as Galactus, his voice was so powerful, and his presence was truly felt in this role. Julia Garner did a great job as the Silver Surfer, and I liked that she wasn't so one dimensional in the role, and truly showed how much being the Silver Surfer had affected her.

The film's visuals and action scenes were just flat out amazing! The scenes where the Fantastic Four battled the Silver Surfer and Galactus were so good! This really felt like old school marvel had returned, in terms of the visuals and action scenes, and I am so hear for it.

The film's post credits scene clearly set up something major (Which I will get to later). In terms of a direct sequel to this movie, I am all for it. I am curious as to who the villain will be, because I know it will not be Doctor Doom, but I know that the Fantastic Four have plenty of villains to fight against in a sequel. I am open to seeing Galactus return, and I wouldn't mind seeing the male Silver Surfer in a future movie either.

The film's post credits scene set up Doctor Doom. I am now so looking forward to seeing Avengers: Doomsday opening night now! I now have a very good idea as to what the plot of Avengers: Doomsday is going to be, and I am actually very excited about it! Only Spider-Man: Brand New Day is left until Doomsday, and I have a gut feeling that Dr. Doom is going to show up at the end of that movie as well IMO.

Out of 4 stars I would give it...
