Filippos Horrible Review:
The Fantastic 4 First steps
Review: the fantastic four have arrived to the MCU and it is well done. The casting is fantastic. The style of the 1960s is captured so well the way it starts and brushes through the origin story is quick, clean and enjoyable. The story also brings to life the silver surfer and Galactic to the MCU. The movie is a little under two hours and zipped by quick. There’s not a dull moment feels like a comic book movie versus a superhero movie which means this felt like it was true to the comic books and they pulled a little from different stories and that was awesome. This movie takes place in a different MCU universe on earth 828 (nice little birthday nod to Jack Kirby, the creator of ff4 there). You will be happy to know you don’t need to know anything from previous MCU movies. This is a fresh take. It is phase one of the new saga so this is great. It sets the tone and I like the direction. The characters are all likable and enjoyable. There is a mid credit scene that will send to the direction of the avengers doom day next year, which is great and then one fun little gag at the very end. I think this movie is definitely something you need to go see in theaters. I’ve seen it twice now I liked it more. The second time I’ve seen it in 3-D and now on IMAX. I would recommend IMAX over the 3-D just to see the sheer size of Galactic was incredible. This movie was fantastic and I originally gave it an eight out of 10 I now have to give this.9 🍿 out of 10 🍿.
Remember, I’m not a real critic. I’m just a guy who spent it two hours of my day to see a fantastic movie on the IMAX screen. Go See Fantastic 4!!!
