“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” appears later this week, which mark the next installment in the MCU. But some selected some already watched the film at the premiere of a special los angeles.
Good news? Those who were watching the film are impressed. The vast majority of social media reactions have been positive, even with a person to say that it is visually “one of the best things is created by Marvel” (H/T/T. Brandon davis On X).
Apparently, the option to remove John Malkovich’s red ghost from the film, or at least it is not hurting the film. Nor have the director Matt Shakman and the rest of the crew have been pushed back several times to give enough time.
Complete disclosure: Take these reactions with a grain of salt. While some critics are throwing their opinions in the mixture, it is largely affected, superfans and the most inclined to give the film positively to give positive discussion that are posting these early reactions. There is nothing nefarious about it, but they do not always represent the final important or consensus of the audience around the film.
So without further movement, here are the first reactions from the premiere of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”.
‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ First Reactions-‘A Style-Defining Classic’

I know that I just told you about expectations of expectations, but let’s start just out of the gate with some possible hyperbole.
“#Fantasticfour quite possibly the best Marvel Studio film so far,” Author George McKay The X is said to be unevenly. “Writably and easily a style-defined classic.”

While there is not much about the film standing in MCU Panthanian, Peepal magazine writer Sharareh dry There was a lot of praise for the film.
“Surprising scenes, a moving story, funny banquet and epic action,” he announced. “Marvel’s first family rides a terrible ride.”

Finally, let’s wrap things with my personal favorite.
Material manufacturer and actor Matte ramos Took the characters of the film to declare a joy. “The actors and his chemistry catch the film,” he posted. “Pedro gave my favorite performance as Reid.”
#Thefantasticfour was amazing! The actors and their chemistry caught the film. Pedro gave my favorite performance as Reid. The score increases every scene and is very popular.

And yet, for all that praise, the film is only a “solid 8/10”.
Something about shifts for temporary praise from euphoric delays actually expresses things very neatly for me. I hope Marvel has actually hit the mark, but I am stopping my expectations on it. I happily reside to be one of the 10 solids for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”.
