Movie News: Fantastic Four - First Steps (2025) UPDATE: ROBERT DOWNEY JR IS DOCTOR DOOM! NEW TRAILER!

Just coming back from seeing Fantastic 4 and they got this one right! From the way reed stretches to how powerful Sue is. Ben looks comic book accurate as does Galactus. As much as ppl tried to

on Silver Surfer from the preview, her appearances were on point too. Not too much humor either unlike the other Marvel movies. They got straight to the point and even truncated the back story so they could focus on the main plot. There are 2 post credit scenes with the 2nd one being a very epic one for Marvel history.

I'm about to check this out in a few minutes
At the IMAX near Southpoint Mall
Say a prayer that I don't get shot, stabbed, or robbed coming out of the theater, LOL :D
Cause you know how these ninjas in Durham are, LOL :D

Okay now THAT was a good Marvel movie :cool:
They finally stopped bullshittin around & made a good movie again
Better than Superman (at least to me anyway)
And also better than Thunderbolts (Bolts was a solid movie as well)

If I had to rank them, it would probably go like this.....
Superman between 6.5-7.0 out of 10
Thunderbolts between 7.0-7.5 out of 10
Fantastic Four between 7.5-8.0 out of 10

I know some people would put these in a different order
Which would be understandable too
Each movie had its moments & brought something different in their own way

At least

Smh…he wasn’t a cloud this time yayy.. this time he was a less threatening stay puff marshmallow man once he got to earth.. Hell he was the Statue of Liberty in ghostbusters 2… ghost of egon looking like hey where’s the ghostbusters residual for this copycat

I thought it was gonna Play out like the comics and cartoon where uatu the watcher shows up and gives Reed the wining game tips on how to beat Galactus with the ultimate nullifier. Somebody on superhero hype said they didnt like the way they baited him to cross the lime like a Looney toons character. Its the movies not the comics though they had to make the 4th act entertaining. I think they nerfed Reed too. How was Galactus able to hurt reed by stretching him and he didnt even stretch him that far. Reed is able to stretch over a mile in length.

It's better than Thunderbolts, it's better than Superman. The visuals are a 10/10. The silver surfer actually riding the waves was 10/10, although the backstory is a been there done that.

The aspect ratio of Galactus didn't seem "big" enough, but it's looked great. The power push back scene was ridiculous. Marvel has to stop with women knocking down larger characters, the shit is just silly.

The bread scene was hilarious.

The writing and scene movement is very slow and methodical. The car seat shit is :lol2:.

It's enjoyable, but it's just a step above some of the middle tiered Marvel movies.

Johnny looks 45, not 25, they should have cast someone younger. Love conquers all, crowd speech to rile up the people, same old shit.

I am soo torn on the mid credit scene, since I loved Infinity War/Endgame :crymeariver:

All in all it's fun 6/10.
 
Y'all have to go see it in IMAX :cool:
Or get a center/front seat at a Dolby Digital theater
Just bought a second ticket at the real

i was going to go to the real IMAX in the city, but it costs $30 to get into the city and $15 to park (AT LEAST) and that’s on top of the $30 for the IMAX ticket.

So I’ll be seeing it on the small IMAX lol
 
so my daughter and i were discussing - the scene where they go to meet galactus for the first time, is that the end credit scene from Thunderbolts?

I thought it was myself but it doesn’t really make sense since they aren’t on the same planet right?

Are they suppose to be 25? Because I know no way Ben and Norman are suppose to be.

Naw man I mean I get the minor complaints of how they handled him but they had him look menacing. He just came in on that arrogant shit to get Franklin. Only thing is I’m not entirely sure what Sue’s power is to make him freeze up like that.

Johnny is supposed to be a young upstart not a weathered grown ass man. He just looked really old. The storyline is teenage love -ish, but Jonny looks like he has already been through some aged tough times in the face. The other three character's look the right age in my opinion.

Man that's crazy accurate. It's literally the same scene as Ghostbusters. I didn't even think of that.

Oh ok I assumed he and Sue was suppose to be close in age. Are you basing this on the comics or did they establish age in the movie?
