A perfect midnight movie.

Honestly, this movie was so out there that I was surprised it was released in theatres. This is the kind of fun stuff you see buried in a sea of strange Amazon Prime Videoes.

It's good to have someone like Eli Roth dig yourself. I dug it too. I was just so crazy to watch. I had nothing but fun from beginning to end.

I know that's cheesy, but it works. I'm so happy this movie was good. So it looks like we are in a new era with comic book movies in general. Along with Superman (2025), we are going back to an era of less realism, and it's working.

This Fantastic Four movie is doing everything that I wanted a Fantastic Four movie to do. Visually, I don't think I ever saw a flick that looked so perfect as a comic book coming to life.

The adaptation of the coming of Galactus was superb. Not the best villain ever done in cinema, but in terms of scale, he was huge. Worth every penny to see him come to life on a giant screen.

All I want to do right now is see it again!

I'm definitely a kid at heart, and I'm not saying that I did not think it was a great movie, but I can't help but note that Man of Steel, which I also loved, seemed to be too Dark a situation for Superman, and this 2025 movie seems to do a 180. That does not upset me that much, but the costume is really silly. I mean, technically, the costume has been silly since the 1990s, but it was mostly about how the man fits into that silly suit, and David Corneswet does not fit well at all in that silly suit. He was a decent Superman, but so far not my favorite. The movie has a good Lois Lane as well, but once again, not my favoriteWhat got me geared up for this movie was that second trailer, which showcased the political angle Superman faces in being Superman, which I was hyped for. It may seem like an adult theme, but kids are a lot smarter now than when the Quest for Peace came out. I am glad that the political angle was a huge part of the story, cause it did make the movie for me, and it's all thanks to the stellar performance of Nicolas Hoult as what I think has to be my favorite Lex LuthorSuperman is not set up to give Mr. Hoult these flowers for doing a great job with Mr. Luthor, but all around, he was the amazing villain of the movie. I like to think that his time as the superhero Beast in the three X-Men movies prepared him for this. Maybe even Michael Fassbender gave him a few pointers. Gene Hackman was a great actor who brought his A game to the material he was given, but Hoult brought his A game to material that was golden. Now I would like to see Cavil's Superman face, Hioult's Luthor. That would be a perfect Superman movie for me. As far as building this new DC universe on the screen, the 1st step was a weak one. Nathan Fillon does a great job as Guy Gardner, and I would like to see a full movie with him doing it. Mr. Terrific was Terrific, but Hawkgirl could use a little more screen time. Other than the Green Lantern, there really were not many big gun references in the film to get excited about a new universe Not that big of a DC fan or a Superman fan, and while I like the movie, it definitely did nothing to stir me away from hoping Marvel's Fantastic Four 1st steps is a little better.
