A Fantastic Return to Form In an era of superhero fatigue, where convoluted plots and CGI-heavy spectacles often overshadow character, Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps is a stunning and welcome breath of fresh air. It succeeds precisely where other recent blockbusters have failed. Instead of getting bogged down in world-ending stakes from the start, it builds its story on the one thing that has always been the source of the team's power: their dynamic as a family. The film's greatest strength is its perfectly balanced ensemble cast. This isn't a story carried by one or two big names; it’s a true team effort where every member is essential. The chemistry between the leads feels genuine, and their interactions—whether they're bickering in the Baxter Building or fighting for their lives in space—are the heart and soul of the movie. You believe in them as a unit, which makes their triumphs and struggles all the more compelling. Most impressively, the film smartly subverts the tired character tropes that have plagued past adaptations and the genre as a whole. It would have been easy to make Johnny Storm the same reckless womanizer we've seen before. Instead, this version gives us a character with depth. He’s less of a playboy and more of a brilliant, and perhaps slightly nerdy, pilot whose intelligence and technical skill are just as critical as his powers. He’s driven by a desire to prove himself, not just to chase thrills. Similarly, the portrayal of Sue Storm is a massive step forward. The film completely avoids the lazy writing that gives a female character immense power but renders her emotionally fragile or a damsel in distress. Here, Sue is unequivocally the team's anchor and its most powerful member. Her strength isn't just in her abilities, but in her fierce resolve, her leadership, and her unwavering moral compass. She is the protector, the strategist, and the heart of the team, all without sacrificing her complexity. Fantastic Four: First Steps is a reminder of what makes superhero movies great. It’s a character-driven story full of heart, optimism, and spectacular adventure that feels both classic and refreshingly modern. It’s not just another superhero movie; it’s a fantastic one.

Holy smokes this is a great show! Kathy Bates & Skye P. Marshall are an amazing duo and the chemistry is fantastic. Looking forward to many more seasons.

Too many glitches. Can't even walk due to missing floors. Can't complete quests because they are already completed but I didn't do them and cannot get credit for it. Honestly this is a shit game.... Do better.

This has the spirit of the original and the writers knew exactly what they were doing and who their target audience is. Well done!
