‘Fantastic Four’ early reviews say it’s ‘the best thing made’ by Marvel

The MCU’s highly anticipated Fantastic Four: First Steps movie has been revealed through early screenings to members of the film press, and the reviews are glowing.

Editor-in-chief of Next Best Picture, Matt Neglia wrote about the film on X that it lives up to its “fantastic” name.

He explained, “Combined with Matt Shakman’s snappy, confident storytelling, this is an intriguing & satisfying first step for Marvel’s new team (easily the best depiction of this quartet on-screen to date) as the MCU continues to regain control of the ship & steer it closer to ‘Doomsday.'”

Brandon Davis, an entertainment journalist remarked that the movie is one of the “best things Marvel has ever done”, comparing the visuals to Interstellar from Christopher Nolan.

“Galactus is awesome. Silver Surfer looks really, really good. VFX were often immaculate,” he wrote. “Cosmically and on Earth, Matt Shakman dropped a visual feast.”

Sharareh Drury from People gushed over the stars Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, saying, “Stunning visuals, a moving story, witty banter and epic action. Marvel’s First Family delivers one awesome ride. Pedro Pascal nails it as Mr. Fantastic. Vanessa Kirby stands out as Sue Storm – she’s a shooting star.”
