Let's Talk Movies #36 - 2020 - Yep it is a new decade

Fantastic Four has two post credit scenes but don’t bother with the second one. The movie was great and perfectly cast. I heard nothing but good things from fans coming out of the cinema.
 
Just got back home from watching The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Because it is still in its opening weekend, I’ll put my review in spoiler.

Are you hoping that MCU films would get……better? Are looking for Pedro Pascal to have a performance that you’ll like? Then I highly recommend this film!

I give this film a 9.0/10. This is the best Marvel film I’ve seen in years, maybe since the 2000s.

The ā€œFantastic Fourā€ are Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), his wife Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), his best friend Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and her brother Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn). They were astronauts who go on a space mission and obtain superhuman abilities when they hit a cosmic storm. The live together as a family and became superhero celebrities in 1960s NYC. They must work together to save the Earth from being destroyed by Galactus.

What’s Great/Good:
1) The production design is the best I’ve seen so far in a film this year. I want to live in this house. This needs to be nominated for as Oscar (but will probably lose to Wicked: For Good).
2) The score and music is probably the best I’ve heard in a superhero movie in at least a decade. Who doesn’t love this? 😃
3) I found a Pedro Pascal performance that I liked. It only took 385,491 tries. šŸ˜†
4) I LOVED the ā€œfamily togetherā€ dynamic in this film. 🤩
5) The ENTIRE audience clapped or cheered when baby Franklin ā€œclappedā€ for his mother. 😊

What’s MEH:
1) I did like that the film wasn’t too long (just under two hours), but I felt that they could have fleshed the backstory a little bit more.
2) Reed Richards’ nerd-outs and chalk boarding were a bit clunky in execution.
