Summary
Reviewers say 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' is a visually stunning reboot with strong performances, particularly from Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal. The film is praised for its retro-futuristic aesthetic, impressive visual effects, and engaging family dynamics. However, some critics note issues with pacing, underdeveloped characters, and a somewhat predictable plot. Despite these criticisms, the general consensus is positive, highlighting the film's potential to revitalize the Fantastic Four franchise within the MCU.
Featured reviews
Painfully Unimaginative
This movie is so unimaginatively silly that it feels stuck on the level of a mid-90s Power Rangers episode. At best, it might be aimed exclusively at kids, but honestly, I think even today's kids would simply find it dumb. I struggle to imagine that anyone could genuinely enjoy this film, and if someone does, I'd honestly love to hear why.
Something felt Missing
This was one of my most anticipated movies but it was disappointing for me.
Now for pros
1. It had some really good CGI at some points. Atleast it did The Thing right. He is being done dirty for a long time.
2. There was chemistry between the cast. The chemistry was better than 2015 version but it wasn't better than the 2005 one.
3. Galactus was done right you could feel his presence in IMAX.
4. I liked Joseph Quinn. He kept the legacy alive of good human torches.
Now for cons
1. Pedro was such a miscast. He played himself. He is not right for Reed.
2. It has more wacky shots than the good ones. The CGI looks unfinished at some points.
3. It was poorly edited. We know they cut 15 to 20 minutes and you could feel it. Something was missing.
4. CGI baby. I think it's about time they stop using the CGI baby. It was giving uncanny vibes.
5. Reed was really underwhelming. He barely used his powers.
6. Although it was only 1 hour 55 minutes long yet it felt longer than other movies which are longer. The pacing was horrible.
7. Most of it was spoiled in the trailers. If you saw all promotional videos and trailer you just saw 50 percent of the movie.
8. The last act was horrible. It felt like that Yelena scene from Black Widow.
9. This movie felt like it was missing a whole act. They should have given creative control to the director.
10. They could have done the post credit better.
This was a misfire by marvel and they should be worried beacuse it is directly related to Doomsday. It is really average. It places at 2nd last in the ranking of 2025 CBM.
I am really disappointed. Fantastic four are one of my favourite characters and they missed another time. When we will get a good F4 film? That's the question.

Fantastic 4
Visually, this film was a standout with stunning cinematography, impressive CGI, and a unique retro aesthetic that felt refreshingly different from the usual superhero fare. The story was fairly basic and the short runtime didn't allow enough depth to fully explore the villain's motivations. The casting was nearly perfect, with every actor bringing their character to life in a way that made you love the team not just as a whole but as individuals. Overall, I'd rate it a solid 7.2 out of 10. It's a fun, visually rich ride and I'm genuinely excited to see where the story goes next. The post-credit scene was a 9 out of 10, one of the most dramatic and thrilling I've seen in years.
Fantastic visuals held back by poor writing
To get this out of the way: this is the best fantastic four movie that has been made. That is of course not much of a bar to cross, but it deserves to be said.
This movie was fine. Nothing more or less. It was partially eclipsed by what is turning into a fantastic year for movies, which I think does color my opinion of it somewhat. The characters feel authentic to their roles, and the set design/visual effects are phenomenal. Unfortunately, these things are held back by poor writing (I'm looking at you, middle-of-the-movie-inspirational-speech). The characters just simply don't make decisions that feel like things real people would choose to do, which is saying something because honestly very little actually happens by way of plot in this movie. I will not elaborate to keep my review spoiler-free, but this was the biggest problem I had with this movie.
Props to Marvel for the best FF movie we've ever had. Hiring better writers would have elevated this from "okay" to a legitimately good movie.

Just okay.
I mean I went to theater with quite high expectations. But honestly was a bit disappointed.
Movie tried to explore characters and their depth more but collectively as whole it went bit shallow and mediocre storyline.
It was definitely better than previous ones. But calling it one of the best MCU films? Um nope. Not at all.
