Fantastic Four: First Steps
The latest Fantastic Four reboot starts off 4 years after that comic storm altered the DNA of Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Ben Grim (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), & Storm (Joseph Quinn) giving them superpowers. With a quick recap battling some of their classic Marvel villains, we find Reed & Sue are married & now expecting their first child. However, when the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) appears, she gives notice that Galactus is coming to destroy their planet. So the Fantastic Four team launches off to deal with thees new menaces. We get a good look at the team in action as they desperately fight this huge formidable foe & his servant. This film is about making difficult choices as well as parenting, family, & sacrifices. Never underestimate the strength of a mama bear. I️ loved late 50’s retro look on this Earth 828. Will we see Galactus & the Silver Surfer again? Does Sue & Reed’s new born inherit any comic powers? Look for a doomsday reveal during the credits. There is also a Fantastic Four cartoon played at the end of credits.
Alien gives it 3 “It’s clobber’n’ time” stars out of 4.
