a FAMILY movie!
Marvel's first family enters the scene into the MCU. Will it stay or will it falter?!
The Good -
- The Family Arc; This is what a proper family movie with a touch of superpowers should feel like. It showcases how a family is, they have conflicts, they have jokes, they have fun, but at the end of it all, they stand by each other. The storytelling pattern; If you think this is an origin story, then you may be somewhat wrong. The story progresses so smoothly that it doesn't feel like an origin story but also it shows the origin of it all in a very proper manner. The pattern flows perfectly without any breakages which manages to keep you hooked until the very end. The Cast; everyone is on point and feels to be perfectly casted in the movie. Each of their dialogues also land perfectly making the perfect dose of humor along with seriousness. The Comic Accuracy; this is just perfect. From the cast's looks to their character's personality, it is a natural. Nobody is shown as just a Hero character with just the positives, you can feel the arrogance that the character has, the anger, the emotions, all of which coincide with their comic character. The Music; perfectly arranged and gives goosebumps when required. The Simplicity; the movie so simple yet so good that it feels short when the movie ends. The Seriousness; Marvel has this time landed their humor perfectly and hasn't messed up the seriousness. The jokes are not forced and the movie knows when it is serious and when to stay serious. The CGI; this is the level of CGI we all expected from this movie coming at 2025. Specially the final space sequence, that just feels mind blowing to watch in the big screen. Galactus; brings goosebumps whenever on screen. This is how he should have always been depicted.
The Bad -
- Nothing much but if there had to be some then I would say Galactus; I felt that his strength was a little less shown and was easily defeated just to get to the end of the movie. One major problem I felt was for me being an MCU fan, Thunderbolts where?; if you have watched Thunderbolts, then you know the post credit scene where it is shown that the F4 are entering the MCU Earth 616. Here, it is totally absent, kept me wondering if that scene made any sense hereafter. Maybe in a nearby future, it shall be answered. WOAH moments; this movie was simple and I felt like it kinda lacked the WOAH moments, its a decent watch with not much of the surprise elements.
Mid Credit -
DO NOT MISS! This is very essential for the MCU moving forward. This is probably the only time in the movie that gave me and the rest of the audience in the theatre our WOAH moment.
Post Credit -
Skippable.
Final Words -
If you are an MCU fan, then watch it. This is crucial for the MCU moving forward and it is also that good. If you are not an MCU fan, then also watch it. You will not need any back preparation by the need of watching any other movies to understand this movie. This is a stand-alone movie that stands firm on its own. If you plan to start watching MCU movies, then this might be a good place for you to start. 3.75/5
