The Super Thread - All Things Marvel/DC/Etc

Yes. The entire look of it is exactly what I wanted from a FF film. I had the argument with a buddy that honestly the Fantastic Four really may only work best in this exact kinda time frame, the 60s space race era. I think it's why so many versions just don't work in today's time frame or the modern era. They're so much of a throwback to that original Marvel era that it's probably the easiest way to do those characters justice and make them relevant.

Agreed. Lots of those 'futuristic throwbacks' like the blue car in the trailer caught my eye. Seems like they've really nailed the Thing too.
 
I'm happy we're in an era where Marvel will go with comic accurate things like Galactus when previously we had him as a giant cloud. I think it being from the same director as WandaVision portends to something really special happening that really gives us a version of the group that it truly deserves. The entire MCU owes its life to the Fantastic Four. I don't think Feige is going to give us something bad. It's that important now.
 
No mid-credit scene, but there is a post-credit scene.

Given all the reshoots and test screenings that were reported, it's not all that surprising that this was a dog's breakfast of a movie. It's trying to do too much taking from too many places, leaving a lot of things feeling like they didn't get enough. Nelson and Esposito both worked wonders with what they were given, but both of them were short-changed as well. Anthony Mackie did well with what he was given as well, but what he was given was all over map uneven.

Overall, it felt like the awkward transition between the MCU going too fast and furious into what's supposed to course corrected going forward. Some loose ends get tied up and some set up is in place for what's to come, but it's easily the weekest of the Captain Americs movies.

Despite not being a great, or even good, movie, I still enjoyed myself. Big dumb comic book fun.

3.25/5
