“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is a 2025 Marvel superhero movie based off the popular Fantastic Four comic book series. This one stars Pedro Pascal (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent), Vanessa Kirby (Mission Impossible-Fallout), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear), Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things), Julia Garner (Ozark), and Paul Walter Hauser (Cobra Kai).

It’s the 1960’s and four astronauts, who are also family, go into space on a mission. When their suits become compromised, they come back to earth with unique superpowers. They become earth’s protectors. When a powerful being who devours planets comes for earth, it’s up to the Fantastic Four to come up with a plan to stop him before it’s too late.

This looked like it would be good, I’m not a big Fantastic Four fan but Marvel makes great movies so I gave it a try. I like how they stayed true to the comics, and set it in the 60’s. That was a nice touch. There’s not a lot of action in this one, especially for it being a superhero movie, but no pun intended, it’s fantastic. The casting is great all the way through, the story is really good, the writing is phenomenal. It’s a two-hour movie but doesn’t feel any bit of it. There’s not a single part that felt like it lulled. It’s a heartfelt movie, that will have you tearing up, even though you know it turns out okay, you’re still on the edge of your seat. It’s one of the better movies I have seen in a while. They tease there will be a second one, and I can’t wait. This is a must see movie, that I give a 10/10.
