Is that a spoiler?
Fantastic Four (2025)
- Thread starter Kyo
- Start date
It was alright, think the magnitude of what/who Franklin is could have been better pronounced.
Liked the Silver Surfer, her Heraldry was very good.
Pedro needs to take a break.
I do have a bias towards Pedro...as I'm all Pedro'ed out.
Either the Guy has a hidden terminal disease hence his super duper work rate, or he is on a certain list and is going to need the money for Lawyers at some point.
They did an ok Galactus.
The story was alright.
(Psst...go read Johnathan Hickman's run on Fantastic four and the future foundation, puts all this to shame. One of the greatest FF stories told)

Just got back, yet another mediocre Super Hero movie, it was worth watching, I only went because it was chucking down with rain otherwise I would have waited and watched it for free, a generous 6.5/10
o dear disappointing

That's a shame seems like all the goodwill is gone for the moment. I thought it was good entertaining film but much like Star Wars Marvel appear to have squandered viewer trust on too many sub-standard releases.
I think all the studios would be wise at this point to heavily delay the release on streaming services of their blockbusters. Put a bigger gap between cinema and Blu Ray and then another break to streaming, they've devalued the cinema experience and it is really biting them hard. Make release dates for things more meaningful, I mean who among us hasn't gone "Nah! It'll be on Disney+ in a month or two" when thinking about the latest Marvel release.

Good assessment. I was staying clear of this until hearing of the fairly positive reviews in this thread - I’m now up for seeing it.
The most off-putting thing is deciding to call it ‘First Steps’ - ugh. I wouldn’t expect much threat / suspense in these sorts of films anyway, but when there is superhero fatigue the last thing most people want is a low-stakes exercise in ‘there’s more to come!’

It's actually more a reference to their baby.
Its not as bad as some made out. I watched it twice and thought it was good. Definitely the right direction compared to the TV shows and anything from Phase 5. If you do watch it please share your views.

The good
Action starts about 20 mins in
They showed galactus quite a bit
Decent story line
Good surfing scenes
The bad
Why was galactus suddenly travelling snail speed when he reached Jupiter?
Sue holding back galactus who has the power cosmic. He didn't even use his powers here.
Labour scene on the ship and pants floating lol
No contingency/backup for the teleportation devices they were building?
Why not show where galactus was teleported to?
Erm they showed the Latveria sign, one of them could have said isn't 'he' gonna help? At least acknowledge/reference Viktor.
Maybe some stuff I forgot

Watched it today as I got a £5 ticket and free popcorn voucher!
Was better than I was expecting it to be, but not amazing either, box office numbers seem to agree.
Galactus looked cool but stupidly weak when on earth, which was a bit poor as I thought he was a super powerful character in the MCU. Just seemed like a big slow slug lol.
Probably one of the better Marvel movies since Endgame though, I'd give it 6.5/10

Well it rhymes with tank, what a pile of steaming turd, at least the Jessica Alba\Chris Evans one's had a bit of cheesy humour, cannot believe it was actually made.
1\10 and it only got the 1 because I stayed to finish it and didn't get up and walk out

Just remembered this post, wildest hot take I've read in a while.
I mean I enjoyed it. Not the worst films I've seen this year. I wouldn't go as far as my mate though.
But equally its not complete rubbish either.
