Epic First Reactions To 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps': "Resonates Deep In Your Bones"
Marvel seems to be back on track with a promising adaptation that fans have long awaited.
Recently, DC made headlines with Superman, putting the pressure on Marvel to shine brightly. The long-awaited reboot, Fantastic Four: First Steps, hits theaters this month, and the first online reactions are in. Overall, they are pretty positive.
Critics praise the spectacular visual effects, the atmospheric retro-futuristic style, and the strong team dynamics among the four main characters. Film critics are especially impressed with Galactus.
While Marvel has managed to create some compelling villains, such as Thanos and Killmonger, many antagonists often disappoint. Fortunately, this is not the case with Galactus, whose threatening presence leaves an impact.
Film critic Chris Killian from ComicBook says, "Ralph Ineson truly shines as Galactus. His voice resonates deep in your bones. You should really see this movie in IMAX". Other actors are also receiving accolades.
Vanessa Kirby is frequently mentioned as a standout in her role as Sue Storm. Anthony Gagliardi from The Movie Podcast praises Joseph Quinn as Ben Grimm/The Thing: "He is the heart of the film, and everything just works. Marvel's first family exudes chemistry and charisma that Stan Lee would be proud of".
Although some critics express concerns about the antagonists and the somewhat heavy family theme, the prevailing impression is that Marvel is back on track with this film. With such praise, Fantastic Four: First Steps appears to be a successful reboot for Marvel's 'First Family'.
