Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated reboot, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, is set to premiere this weekend, and early social media reactions offer a mixed bag. Fans are expressing enthusiasm, especially praising the film’s visuals and character chemistry, while some feel it plays it safe and fails to leave a lasting impact.
On Twitter, many viewers are raving about the movie’s stunning visuals, emotionally grounded storytelling, and engaging world-building. One user commented, “The Fantastic Four is a breath of fresh air for the MCU. It delivers all the humor and action you want but has its own cinematic language and vibe. Some of the best world building in the MCU so far.”
Another fan called the film a “true spectacle,” adding, “The visuals are jaw-dropping… Sue Storm is the heart of the film and steals every scene. The team dynamic is spot-on… Galactus is utterly terrifying. You’ll be on the edge of your seat.”
Vanessa Kirby’s portrayal of Sue Storm has garnered particular praise, with many viewers highlighting her performance as a standout. One review noted, “Fantastic Four plays it safe at times, revisiting familiar beats, but elevates them significantly… Vanessa Kirby steals the show. Gorgeous production, great score, and visuals inspired by Kubrick and Nolan. A must-see in IMAX!”
Fans also praised the depiction of the villain, Galactus, for finally being portrayed with the depth and menace fans have long awaited. Overall, early reactions suggest the film is a visually stunning addition to the franchise, though opinions on its originality remain divided.
