Fantastic Four: First Steps

Maybe it's my old ears then, but it was gibberish to me. And it definitely reeked of being overly cute for no good reason.

Watched it yesterdayu and thought it was OK. I loved the retro-aesthetics and thought it did it better than Loki. I liked the flashbacks of previous heroings.
Silver Surfer and Galactus were...fine. Overall the movie was better than anything Marvel has done since Shang-chi.

***/5 IMO. Overall it filled the time. RT Review:86% & Audience:90% approval.

I did finally watch this... I never cared for the comics due to multiple "problems". I was amused that two followups are in the pipeline.

It was rather 1940-60s stylish, probably reusing props from Loki with some new spray paint. LoL. Some anachronistic touches. The best part of the movie IMO.
Plot, deux ex machina with cardboard characters. The internal strife, drama, emotive character aspects were minimal. It reminded me of a kid's play.
Casting, well it is what it is.
At least all the checks cleared.
