(ESP-ENG) The Fantastic Four: First Steps | Marvel reviving - Movie Review!
Hello friends, positive vibes to everyone.
Everything seems to indicate that the superhero genre is experiencing a resurgence, with both Marvel and DC Comics producing high-quality, top-tier films. Focusing on Marvel, we've already seen "Thunderbolts," and the experience was very positive. It's a film that's quite different from what we're used to, and its post-credits scene sets the stage for the movie we'll be discussing today. The Fantastic Four franchise hasn't had much luck on the big screen throughout its history, with some truly awful films that failed to connect with audiences. Fortunately, we can now say that we finally have a film that's worth watching, with a stellar cast.
We are in Earth-828, one of the many alternate realities in the Marvel universe. Its main characteristic is its retro-futuristic look, reminiscent of the 1960s, and it features one of the first superhero families in the MCU. This is the work of Matt Shakman, who also directed "WandaVision," hence the similarities we can observe. This family is very beloved on this Earth, as they protect it from any minor threat. One day, in the middle of the sky, the Silver Surfer appears—one of the legendary characters associated with this family—arriving as the herald or messenger of the true villain, Galactus, to announce this being's plan for Earth.
This threat sets off alarm bells, as the very existence of Earth is in danger, meaning Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny must act quickly before it's too late. There are several things worth highlighting about this film. First, it feels incredibly fresh, like a true reboot of the Marvel Universe. It's as if everything that came before never happened, paving the way for a new generation of heroes and villains. I think including the Fantastic Four was a brilliant decision, as they have always been among the most underutilized characters in the MCU, yet also some of the most interesting and beloved by fans. Ultimately, we're left with a very warm and relatable film, one that, at the same time, ventures into the furthest reaches of space, challenging and potentially even shattering that familiar family dynamic.
The crux of the story is that Reed (Pedro Pascal) and Sue (Vanessa Kirby) have a baby, a child who is apparently the catalyst for the plot of this film and very likely for everything that will come in the Marvel universe. As I said, this story is anything but boring; it's funny, entertaining, and very well-structured, because it effectively establishes the characters and their motivations. It also has that element of suspense and intrigue, making you wonder what will happen with this threat and how they manage to neutralize it. This isn't a movie where we'll see huge battles or epic fight scenes; everything feels more subdued and understated, not over-the-top or grandiose. The villain, Galactus, isn't your typical villain; he's something like a planet-devouring entity, so you can imagine how extraordinary he is.
Visually, it's absolutely stunning. They finally understood the importance of using good CGI that looks great on screen. The Silver Surfer's design is particularly impressive, from the way everything reflects off his body to the beautifully rendered silhouette of Julia Garner—those are some of the things I enjoyed most. The space scenes, the moments when the four main characters use their powers, especially Johnny with his flames, and even something as seemingly simple as Galactus's eyes; all these details make the film an incredible visual experience. These elements reinforce the idea that this genre is indeed making a comeback, and as fans and viewers, we should be delighted and happy about it.
To wrap things up, let's talk about the cast. Having Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Julia Garner, and others is an absolute privilege. All the characters are endearing and well-developed, and the natural chemistry between the four, who also happen to be family, makes the viewing experience even more enjoyable. And as a Julia Garner fan, seeing her in this role is fantastic; for me, she's one of the best actresses in Hollywood today. There isn't a single performance of hers that isn't top-notch. Overall, 9/10. A great movie, emotional and full of action. Don't miss the post-credits scene, which sets the stage for what's to come. Highly recommended. Here's the trailer below.

Sinceramente no gusto está versión; de forma particular me quedo con la versión del año 2005 donde actúa Jessica Alba, Chris Evans.
