Inarguably for me, the Fantastic Four are one of the most critical groups for Marvel expanding out their universe, the first family, the child of the beloved Jack Kirby, so have Marvel nailed them? Of course they have, the leading four were sensational in their roles, Johnny firstly, His essence, his character and his charm all encapsulated wonderfully by Joseph Quinn. He's the perfect bridge between the intellect and people power of the Fantastic Four and that was perfectly reciprocated by the script and by his performance. Another strong showing from the film was Vanessa Kirby's Sue, a mother, a wife, a superhero and a saviour. Reed is great his intellect is perfectly conveyed and the arc he takes on is prolific. Pedro is great. For me Ben is the weakest out of the family, he didn't undergo any major arc that felt anywhere enough impactful for me, dwindled too much on the surface level of his character rather that getting into what makes his tragedy so much more emotional. And the last character I'd like to touch on is Shalla Bal- I mean honestly she is incredible, given enough emotional depth to bring out the strengths of the character and just sheer skill in Julia Garner's acting, the line deliveries, incredible, and a nice dynamic with Johnny too.

But for me, the biggest strength has to be the visuals. Tell me, when has a Marvel film looked this good? Opting for a retro futuristic take on these characters is honestly one of the greatest decisions made by Marvel in recent years, every piece of set design, every prop, every extra and every single piece of dialogue flourishes because of the setting. The colour too, fabulous. Just tell me why most of the mcu is left so grey when we could be having this magnitude of vibrancy in all of the shots. The space sequence is specifically aided by this choice I mean every single frame of it is a feast on the eyes, the Silver Surfer's board journeying through space, honestly such a gift to look at. Galactus aswell he looks as perfect as he could, and the fact that some of his shots were practical helps the world feel lived in so much more. So I have no doubt in saying this is the best a Marvel film has ever looked.

And for the score... the whole journey home all I was doing was humming that theme. A masterpiece of sound design, each piece: Galactus' theme, the main score and everyone in between were perfect. Perfect not just for the setting but the family I'm astonished by the sound Design throughout.

My one very major criticism comes in the form of pacing, not because of a lack of breathing room just that the best parts of the movie went by too quick and I'm talking especially about the first half, the film was always going to be family orientated so the fact that we were thrown out of it and into action so many times just through me out the loop. Extending the run time and dwelling on key details a hair longer really would have helped selling the entire family dynamic and the status of the Fantastic 4 as heroes.

But here we are. Marvel once again hitting the spot in terms of films as we gear up closer to the next big event, and so it's safe to say Marvel's next group are in safe hands as it stands. Since their first outing finds itself emotionally good, visually outstanding and full of great action.
