The Fantastic 4: First Steps

"Unlike the last dozen-or-so MCU plods, which turned derring-do comic book heroics into endurance tests, THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS spins a ripping yarn that soars not only on spectacle, but also smarts and sentiment..." Read the full review here: https://bit.ly/4o5P6rP

Well good news, after ages and having given up trying “Sue” (Vanessa Kirby) and boffin “Reed” (Pedro Pascal) are going to have a bairn! This is great news for her brother “Johnny” (Joseph Quinn) and the stony fourth member of their gang “Ben” (Egon Moss-Bacharach). The news is greeted enthusiastically by their adoring fans too, but those celebrations are cut short when a mysterious woman descends ...

Much of The Fantastic Four: First Steps is built around Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) and Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) getting pregnant and having their child, Franklin.

80/100 Our 4 heroes must save the world from a being that eats planets. This was a really fun and nostalgic entry in the MCU lexicon. Taking place in the 60s in a different universe, it perfectly blends the 60s feel and aesthetics with advanced technology. The family dynamics were nicely presented with depth, heart and humor. The action is top notch and the special effects were awe inspiring in...

Easily the best Fantastic Four film, not that it’s a high bar. Fourth time was definitely the charm (not including the unreleased 90s film).
