2025moviewatch : Fantastic Four


As a comic book fan, Fantastic Four was among my favourite comic to read.
 
The fact that Fantastic Four "movie license" was returned to Marvel Studios few years ago excites me.
After years of waiting, man.. worth the wait.
 
Among the best MCU movie since Endgame. Personally, still digesting it, but it's in that bracket where GoTG3 and Spiderman:NWH is.
 
Love every details presented in the movie, especially with the "retro futuristic" vibe and Galactus is shown in its full glory.
 
I was happy when Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn was part of this after following them respectively in "the Bear" and "Stranger Things". I was excited Vanessa Kirby was part of it but I honestly had mixed feeling about Pedro Pascal because it feels like he is everywhere. However, in this movie, he proved me wrong.. he carried Reed character with grace.
 
All in all, it felt like everyone had their time to shine. Each one of them able to showcase their talents and leave a mark in the movie. The decision to have a female Silver Surfer seems to be on spot too, those following comics will know what's her character & context is all about.
 
2 post credits. One gets your appetite going for next Avengers movie while the other.. mm.. can skipped it if you want.
 
I am pleased. I am happy. Truly a comic book movie.
 
Tim rates it : 8/10
