The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Honest Review

[Flixtor Studio]

I just finished watching Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four Flixtor and I must say, it was fantastic. First, Thunderbolts, and now this—Marvel is truly making a comeback. Every character was incredible. The design of the Thing was perfect, and Mr. Fantastic's struggle between science and family was both clear and compelling. This could very well become my favorite Marvel movie. Even characters like Mole Man, who weren't fully developed, were still impressive. The storyline involving Galactus wanting Franklin added a fresh and exciting twist, distinguishing it from the 2007 film. Additionally, the post-credit scene featuring Dr. Doom was brilliantly executed. The dynamic between Johnny and the decision regarding Silver Surfer's language was also remarkable.

I felt a bit lost when the Thunderbolts post-credit scene went unexplained, but perhaps it will be addressed in Doomsday. I thought Franklin's act of bringing Sue back to life was a fantastic demonstration of his power. The Thing was portrayed excellently, showing that he had become accustomed to his body while still grappling with it. Silver Surfer was entertaining and had a solid backstory, even if it closely mirrored that of the 2007 movie. Her sacrifice was impactful, yet distinct enough to be thrilling and surprising. Lastly, Galactus was portrayed wonderfully, and his defeat through teleportation across the universe was fantastic. It ensured we wouldn't have to worry about him for a while, while also leaving the door open for future films to utilize him. Overall, the movie is fantastic!
