The Fantastic Four: First Steps: Finally got around to watching this one. In the back of my head, for some reason, I don't think I really wanted to like it. But I did. It's a good movie. I like how the characters, the actors, the plot and how it fits into the Marvel cinematic universe. It also explained, or I think it did, some of the upcoming Marvel cinematic universe choices.
The movie's focus is the Fantastic Four as an already established superhero team. You'll note the retro feel, which is really, really cool and it's critical in how they fit into the Marvel universe. As seen in the trailer, we also get Silver Surfer and Galactus. I like both. There are always cinematic choices when you do these comic characters. I don't agree with all of them, but I like and enjoyed the movie as did my youngest grandson. I recommend the movie. Good stuff.
I couldn't make it past the first 20 minutes 🙁
ReplyDeleteDang. They aren't for everybody. I get that.
DeleteI liked the movie too. Wouldn't rank it among my favorite MCU movies, but it's a solid watch. The only thing that got confusing is the whole "alternate" universe thing. Still trying to figure that whole thing out.
ReplyDeleteAnytime you bring in a multiverse it gets really tricky and confusing. Sounds like the new Avengers movies will do a "reset" of the universe which will hopefully clear things up.
