The more I watch Fantastic Four the more I like it

Great movie! Straight to the point. No time wasted.

I think lots of movies that have hype and expectations attached to them truly need multiple viewings before people form a genuine opinion. One to check your expectations, let you know that the movie is doing what it's doing, not what you were thinking it would do. A second so you can watch it with fresh eyes and take it in for what it is, not what you expected. And sometimes a third if you liked it, so you can take in more details and fully appreciate it.

I'm not talking about every movie, or even movies you HATE. But if someone is disappointed in, or angry at a movie, for being something ***other than they expected***, they should really revisit it and try to meet the movie on its terms, before finalizing their opinion.

Same.

One sequence MAKES this movie for me: Galactus comes ashore in NYC, picks up some dirt, and takes a deep sniff of it. Cut to Johnny Storm who makes a face at this, clearly thinking “gross, what a perv.” I almost blacked out from laughing so hard.

Jokes aside… agree, good movie.

Maybe I'll give it another chance. Watching it just made me so glad I could go back and watch the *other* FF movies. Which I did. Really enjoyed those!

He does not want. He feeds.

I honestly think it’s a 5/5 movie, I definitely understand people’s complaints about it but I adore family type movies and this checks all the boxes

The entire silver surfer space sequence will always live rent free in my head. What an awesome sequence

You watched it three times?

Absolutely loved it. I am so glad that their story was properly. The costumes and the 60s era was spot on. I liked that it is a different universe where they are the only known team of protectors, so there was no derailment from the story by shoehorning outside characters into the plot.

I’ve seen it several times after watching it in imax and it does get better after you know the chemistry works so well.

That's exactly how I felt. I really liked it in IMAX but I truly appreciated it more on the second and third watches

I watched it a few times which is more than I can say for a number of the Phase 4 & 5 movies. I like it because it feels different and isn’t bound to connections, which on the flip side is precisely the thing that made the prior films so aggravating. It’s the disconnection in the main world but lack of discovering other dimensions throughout the saga. Hopefully it patches things up in the end.

I thought it was way sub par.
Really disappointed.

The only thing higher than that rating is you.

This and Thunderbolts had great pacing, no wasted time.

Hi !

I also really like this new quartet ^_^
With this well-made alternative universe, the best of stufio this year.
The only downside is Galactus that I find poorly exploited so okay he's really giant and bad but for his cliffhanger they could have done something else all the same, he'll come back I suppose in Secret Wars in 2027 to surely take revenge but regarding him I was hoping for better

I saw it this weekend and thought it was pretty below average. Not The Marvels or Love & Thunder bad, but below average, like Ant-man or Captain Marvel.

* It wasn't a Fantastic 4 movie, it was a Sue movie. The others did almost nothing. The Thing is a background character that could be completely removed with no difference. Reed stretches maybe twice in the movie. Torch does something a couple of times, but it really only matters once. Sue was the solution to everything in the movie. Contrast that to Guardians where every character does things that are important.
* The Silver Surfer is convinced to switch sides by saying her name and reminding her which worlds she destroyed? Like she didn't already know her name and didn't know she'd destroyed worlds?
* Sue got Luke Skywalkered at the end. She uses her powers, then gets tired, then dies? So we have a character who is going to die every time she has to do something epic?
* If Reed is the smartest man ever, why is he doing CPR in the wrong spot, where he had 0 chance of reviving Sue? Pushing on her upper chest doesn't cause the heart to compress since it's like 8 inches further down.
* I still don't know who the kid is nor do I care. The movie completely failed to introduce me to this kid as someone who never read the comics, and it failed to give me a reason to care about the kid.

IMO, this movie was a movie for comic book fans, not for the general audience that wanted to see the Fantastic 4.

I liked it up until the third act. They beat the big bad way too easily. That's a common issue with marvel though.

I personally thought this was the best superhero movie of the year, but I’ve only seen it the one time in the theatre.

I enjoyed Fantastic Four, but my big takeaway from the movie is that I would probably prefer to see that world just stay out of the MCU as its own thing. Maybe get some other installments of FF or other golden age characters in that retro-futuristic world. As the film stands it feels like a slightly awkward snippet of a much more interesting potential universe.

I immediately loved it in theaters. Easy 10/10 for me. The soundtrack, chemistry, action, vibes… it all clicked for me.

I didn't understand some of the casting choices until I saw it. Then I was amazed at how perfectly they fit the aesthetic of the whole thing.

I honestly don't get how anyone liked anything outside the black hole surfing.

Reed's plan was dumb, Galactus being defeated that easily was disappointing (they did the same thing to Kang and everyone hated it) and Vanessa Kirby used to be a great actor but she can't move her face anymore.

You should watch the Cinema Therapy episode about Fantastic Four, you’ll like it even more.

lol yall are crazy

I hope it gets a true sequel in the coming years. No need for exposition, no introductions. Just a a (hopefully) great story. It won't need to focus on the multiverse, either. Get a great villain we haven't seen. Molecule Man perhaps.

Good movie, just forgettable.
