Just watched Fantastic Four tonight. Went in with zero expectations I honestly wanted to give the MCU one last chance. Letโs be real, the over-saturation of Marvel shows and films had stalled its momentum. Overkill.
But THIS MOVIE? Wow. It just revived the MCU in a BIG way!
I donโt want to give too much away, but the cinematography blew me away. Set in the 60s, the film leaned into the limitations of that eraโs technology and instead of holding the story back, it elevated it. It proved that sometimes less really is more, as long as youโve got a great plot and strong storytelling.
The visuals. The set design. The performances. Everything clicked. What I loved most is that they veered away from the slow, predictable backstory build-up weโve seen countless times. Instead, they threw us straight into the heart of the Fantastic Four. Bold move.... and it worked.
Cast, Director, the whole team were outstanding!
For me? 5 out of 5. Fantastic storytelling, stunning visuals, and the kind of movie that makes me excited about the MCU again.
