FANTASTIC FOUR-FIRST STEPS (2025)
“More Than Powers—A Family Worth Fighting For”

The Fantastic Four—Marvel’s first family—returns not with another origin story, but with history already beneath their feet. Two years in, battle-worn and emotionally tangled, this team isn’t introduced—they’re felt. And that’s what makes this film work.

The beauty lies in the mess. In the arguments, in the tension, in the way they still show up for one another when it matters most. This isn’t a story about perfection—it’s about persistence. About what it means to stay bonded even when everything around you threatens to break that connection.

The emotional heart of the film beats strongest through the arrival of Franklin Richards, Reed and Sue’s newborn son. His presence reshapes the dynamic—not just for them as parents, but for Johnny and Ben too. They don’t stand on the sidelines—they step into their own roles as protectors, family, and pillars of support. That’s what makes this film more than just a comic book adaptation—it’s a reflection of found family in its rawest form.

Pedro Pascal captures Reed’s burden with subtle brilliance. Like in the comics, he’s the one who prepares for the worst so his loved ones never have to—but it weighs on him, and we see that. It’s a performance full of restraint, pain, and quiet devotion.

Vanessa Kirby channels Sue Storm with maternal strength and grace. As Jack Kirby’s granddaughter, her casting feels like poetic justice—and she delivers with emotional clarity,vulnerability and poise. Every moment she shares with Franklin is grounded and raw, painting a portrait of a mother who is both powerful and deeply human.

Joseph Quinn is a scene-stealer as Johnny Storm, balancing charisma and levity with the emotional weight of a man growing into something more. He captures the fiery spirit of the Human Torch, but also gives us a version of Johnny who understands the responsibility that comes with being part of something bigger than himself.

Ebon Moss-Bachrach brings Ben Grimm to life in the most heartfelt way. His performance is warm, layered, and deeply vulnerable. And the decision to use practical effects for The Thing was brilliant—it gives Ben real presence and texture, making every interaction feel sincere and grounded.

What moved me most is how the film reminds us: family isn’t perfect. It’s people choosing each other over and over again—even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. That’s what makes this version of Fantastic Four truly fantastic.

good movie, is it crazy to say tho i still like the 2000’s movies tho. these characters just like did nothing for me. i thought they had no development and i thought the same of these people going into the movie as i did leaving it.

Didn’t love as much as
