I personally have a soft spot for the original Fantastic Four films. I loved them dearly and I still do to this day. I have never seen the 2015 version, and judging by what I've heard about it, that's probably for the best. I had mixed feelings towards this movie upon learning of its existence, especially after some inaccurate rumors. The film obviously centers on the titular characters as they attempt to save their world from Galactus and his minion, the Silver Surfer.
I really liked it. The dynamic between the four felt natural and unforced. Pascal and Kirby were actually kind of sweet, Moss-Bachrach was likable enough, and Quinn was a moron with a few surprises up his sleeve. The 1950/60s but futuristic vibe was definitely one of the films biggest highlights, the visuals were GORGEOUS, and the film did leave me wanting more. I didn't think much of Galactus until the baby was born. The reason why does include spoilers so go see the film yourself.
Dislikes; the movie surprisingly left Shalla-Bal underdeveloped. And I call that a surprise because pretty much everything else in the film seemed balanced while Shalla-Bal felt like she was just thrown in there "just because". Julia Garner did the best with what she worked with, and I liked that she had a connection with Johnny. But that was pretty much the most intriguing thing about her. Other than that, she was just......there.
But aside from that, this movie for me was a huge thumbs up. I don't know if I like it more than the originals yet. But regardless, I was very impressed and I look forward to seeing these characters again in Doomsday. Thanks For Reading
