Berlatar dunia retro-futuristik yang terinspirasi era 1960-an yang penuh warna, Keluarga Pertama Marvel harus menyeimbangkan peran mereka sebagai pahlawan super dengan ikatan keluarga yang mereka miliki, sambil melindungi Bumi dari dewa luar angkasa pemangsa dunia bernama Galactus dan utusannya yang misterius, Silver Surfer.
For those of us who’ve seen the many versions over the years, this 2025 reboot of superhero trend without diving deep into origin stories, it works just fine.
The retro 60s vibe is beautifully captured. The character approach is bolder too, especially with Johnny Storm, who’s a clear departure from Chris Evans womanizer version not entirely convincing for me. Overall, this Fantastic Four is a major upgrade from its predecessors. Pedro Pascal once again proves himself as "The Ultimate Daddy of the Screen".
The sub title "First Step" feels fitting. It marks a promising wake up for the franchise, especially following the Thunderbolts breakthrough. That said, there are a few notes: Galactus felt somewhat mixed up with The Watcher for me, the third act wrapped up too easy and quickly, and the second Thunderbolts-related post-credit scene still leaves us hanging with an unanswered cliffhanger.
