Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 5333417, member: 974"] [B]Fantastic Four First Steps (2025).[/B] For full disclosure I was a huge F4 fan as a kid. I bought F4 #2 at the local soda shop and faithfully bought every new issue for years. The setting of the movie, Earth-828, bears a strong resemblance to the 1960s, so it feels like those old comics. So yeah, I loved it. They skip the origin story and go straight to Galactus, a godlike, giant planet eating bad dude. Of course, everyone knows that the Silver Surfer is Galactus's herald. Bad news when she shows up on your planet. She is a women this time. Makes no difference. It's not really important except the Human Torch has a crush on her. The other main storyline is that Invisible Girl is pregnant and Mr. Fantastic is nervous about being a dad. First steps, got it? The stories intertwine and that is the main tension in the movie. I don't think any of these facts qualify as a spoiler. This is Marvel quality film making with a price tag of $200 million plus. Great cast, the performances are great for genre, special effects, sound, editing, everything is top shelf. The movie doesn't take itself too serious but they play it straight. Visually it's a feast. It is a lot of fun. I give it 3 stars. You will not ask ,"Are you not entertained?" You will be. [/QUOTE]
