Watched The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) by an author from letterboxd.com
Against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel's First Family is forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, while defending Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer.

Never been a big FF fan so I’m sure a lot of stuff in the margins was wasted on me but, overall, mostly unremarkable. Vanessa Kirby was memorably fierce and I liked the retro production design. Suffers again from feeling more like a bridge to something (ostensibly) big and better.

The JD Vance cameo also took me completely by surprise.

★★★½
