Has anyone watched Fantastic Four: First Steps yet?

If so, how was it? So far I heard that it received positive reviews so far, which is good. But how about you? Has anyone watched it in theatres or planning to watch it?

Going Sunday. Pretty good month for superhero movies so far.

I gotta wait till my next off days so sometime between Tuesday and Thursday next week I'll check it out.

Gonna watch it this Friday, most excited I've been about an mcu movie since Endgame, even more than Deadpool & Wolverine

Terra

Have not seen it.

It cannot be worse than the MCUs recent track record, so... yeah.

Just got done watching it and man, I thought it was gonna be good but it was easy better than I expected. Feels like an actual film with a vision behind it, the pacing is better than anything the mcu has done in years and the cg and visual design was outstanding. They absolutely nailed the character and their chemistry and galactus and the surfer are so well done

I almost dont want to with how creepy Pedro Pascal has been but I'll probably end up seeing it soon anyway

Exactly! I loved the f4 comics as a kid, I cannot wait to see it, I’m so pumped

Watching it Saturday! What a streak of great movies, Thunderbolts, Superman and now it seems Fantastic 4 as well. Us superhero fans are eating good

Makes sense why they didn't use the real silver surfer. Hopefully he comes back in Doomsday.

You mean the touching? It's pretty clearly a consensual thing that they're both doing

Did ya bother actually watching, listening and reading to why they are the way they are or?

Yeah. Doesn't make it any less weird to me

I’ve just seen it a few hours ago.

Without going into spoilers, I thought it was very well done. The performances were outstanding and I enjoyed the chemistry between the actors. Standout performances for me were Reed and Torch.

Initially I doubted Pedro but he absolutely delivered for me. He’s got Reed down pat with being a tortured soul and brilliant mind. Joseph Quinn I honestly was not sold on - even in the trailers. But my gosh I adored his take on torch. He had the perfect balance between being witty and intelligent, but also had a lot of heart to him. All the other actors did a phenomenal job.

I liked what the focus of the film was and how the plot was built around it. The CGI was well done, you begin to care about these characters you’ve never seen before.

There are minor things I didn’t like, like at times it felt quite fast-paced. This is not typically an issue for me, but I felt like being less than 2 hours, they could have given us an extra 20-30 minutes and spread it out a little, potentially give us a little more on the tail end as it wrapped up. The ending was something I actually wasn’t entirely expecting, and even though I would’ve preferred the ending to be different, I still thought it was well done. And if they HAD to go that route, it’s pretty much exactly how I’d want it to play out.

Overall very enjoyable. Personally I’m giving it an 8.5/10. Similar to thunderbolts, it felt pretty fresh, not just as we are introduced to a new group, but mainly because it feels like it has a vision, and the film is constructed around a central idea/theme that is carried throughout the movie.

Only thing I find wierd about it is her actual husband doesn't seem to mind. Then again, that's the new generations thing apparently.

Her boyfriend shouldn't mind. She is going to collect some fat paychecks. He is just a lacrosse player so he gets to experience more fame and fortune thanks to her.

Have not seen it.

Hate to disagree but I think Thunderbolts and DPW (Deadpool / Wolverine) were excellent films. I personally love Thunderbolts, felt the acting was top notch. Loved the storyline, especially love how they all rose up and filled the void (no pun intended) left after end of Endgame.
The only sad part for me is seeing Yelena there w/o her sister 😫
Anyone else love Thunderbolts???

Me! Thunderbolts is amazing. It's enough that I don't feel the need to see any other MCU projects this year, even F4.

NGL… I expected a bit more. 7.5/10. Don’t wanna give any spoilers away, so I’m not gonna say much more now. Whoever’s watching it this weekend, enjoy!

Just for fun, here are my rankings of 2025’s superhero films.

1. Superman
2. Thunderbolts*
3. The Fantastic Four: First Steps
4. Captain America: Brave New World

Just seen it and loved it. Only disappointment for me was the fact they cut Red Ghost and a bunch of villains were just name-checked.

Thunderbolts was amazing, almost just as good as DPW. Marvels has released some good movies in the past few years

I haven't hated any MCU project. I didn't particularly like Eternals but it still had good stuff in it. Thor 2 was pretty mediocre, but I liked it overall. I would rather watch them again than effing BVS or Man of Steel...

Kingering_King

I can say now the movie was amazing. Truly exceeded my expectations. It was truly a masterpiece from marvel. Not a spoiler but click at your own risk if you haven’t seen it yet… ⬇️

Ah yes, Thor: The Dark World… the cinematic masterpiece where Malekith bored us all into forgetting he existed. But sure, that’s better than Man of Steel. 😂

Invisible woman single handedly threw Galactus - the devourer of worlds, inside the portal with her force fields 🤡 (of course with assist by another boss lady Shalla-bal)

Maybe it’s a sign to buff invisible woman Kabam
