>The movie is good/great.
>The FF are well cast, well written and have great chemistry.
>Reed and Sue have the biggest roles given the plot revolves around their son Franklin.
>Johnny has a romance subplot with the Silver Surfer and plays a pivotal role in the ending.
>Ben has a small but sweet subplot with Natasha Lyonne’s character, a Yancy Street teacher named Rachel Rozman.
>Mole Man has a small role, he’s okay but nothing special.
>Galactus is more of a natural disaster than a fully fleshed-out character, but it works.
>Story is a bit thin, mainly focused on character over plot.
>John Malkovich as Red Ghost has been cut, but his super-apes still appear in the opening montage.
>They recreate the iconic cover of the F4 fighting Mole Man and Giganto from their first comics appearance.
>Puppet Master, Mad Thinker, the Wizard and Diablo all get name-dropped as past villains the F4 have faced.
>Lots of heavy sci-fi concepts akin to Interstellar.
>More of a disaster film like Independence Day than a straightforward superhero movie.
>Best visuals and CGI a Marvel movie has had in a long while.
>Two post-credits, one gag and one Avengers: Doomsday lead-in.

I'm gonna pass. I'll wait for it to show up on Plex then watch the first 17 mins or so before realizing I'm wasting my time.

So it’s going to be just okay, but people will overhype it out of desperation that the MCU still works. Just like Thunderbolts, got it.

Thunderbolts is the second worst movie I’ve seen this year and that’s because yesterday I had to sit through the latest Captain America one.

Thunderbolts is my favorite MCU movie. I put it ahead of Winter Soldier and Infinity War. Phase 4/5 has been mostly terrible but I loved it to death.

No, seventeen.
Thunderbolts is for the kind of people who enjoy The Bear. This is not a compliment.

Please flop. Please PLEASE FLOP. I want to see MCU fail 3 for 3 this year. Set Feige's ass on fire.

people hyped up thunderbolts and it felt like a below average straight to streaming movie where nothing happens so i'm not holding my breath.

I'm hoping RJDoom is just a Doombot deliberately made-up to look like Stark and real Doom is a true surprise reveal, but it'll never happen.

Yeah fuck this. They could have just used a modified version of Nova instead and it would have made more sense than this garbage.

I'll only accept this if it's a 1 to 1 recreation of the Norm Macdonald skit

It will have a decent opening (110-130m range like Superman) but no legs whatsoever overseas. Might end around 500 milly tops.
