Early non-shill reactions are in and surprisingly they are mixed to positive.
>Stakes are raised
>Iron man , captain America level seriousness unlike the recent quipfests.
>Good performances from all
>Galactus is great
>Pedro doesn't ruin the movie
> Not much woke
Conservative reviewers are liking it more than Superman. Gunnfags on suicide watch kek

Not watching this Pedroslop. Go die for israel.

> Conservative reviewers are liking it more than Superman

I wonder why lol

>>212984554
America is run by Jews.

>>212984532 (OP)
Why they kill galactus in the first movie??
They powers look lame and so their costumes.
What other villains do they have?
Galactus should be avengers treath

Everything about the future of the MCU is banking on this movie so it MUST have good reviews. It MUST have a strong box office. If this bombs it's over. Disney and Feige know this. It is all about optics for Disney and they are all-in on this movie because they HAVE to be. This means paying off critics. Yes even "non-shill" reviewers aren't safe. Chris Gore was roasting this movie nonstop but is now saying it's one of the best MCU movies in recent years and a step in the right direction. You thought the gaslighting over Gunn Superman was bad just wait until this releases. Do not trust anyone's opinion on this movie as it determines the next decade of the MCU. Fantastic Four even so much as underperforming (Less than 550m WW) would be akin to a nuclear bomb being dropped on the pop culture consensus.

>seriousness unlike the recent quipfests.
might watch it just for this

Of course it's going to do well. They don't have a scene criticizing Israel and killing Bibi.

>>212984756
How much are they "paying" reviewers?

>>212984756
Pepe has a surprisingly wholesome fridge

>>212984532 (OP)
I've watched it, it was okay. Decent, even. The Galactus/F4 arc is my favourite Superhero/Comic arc so my standards were kind of elevated. Hard to tell whether critics will love or loathe it.
Pros:
>Strong retrofuturistic 60's quirky style. It still suffers from the typical MCU color grading issues, but the aesthetic commitment is very strong.
>Mostly strong acting and characterisation, although Kirby is easily the worst and doesn't look like she's taking the role seriously in numerous scenes. Ineson unsurprisingly knocks Galactus's voice out the park
>Great Space scenes, and astronaut team dynamic
>Faithful Galactus design - albeit with the CGI on his face looking really slapdash in the earth-set finale
>Generally decent fight scenes, although the usage of the team's powers besides Johnny feel surprisingly scarce
>Great OST that makes full use of the 'Fantastic Four' leitmotif you've probably heard in the trailers and imbues the film with a comic energy
>General strong unpretentious comic atmosphere that feels elevated from our reality and goofy. Bearing political and social commentary in mind, it's a bit of a palette cleanser compared to Superman and will probably be more popular with children and women

>Chris Gore
He went to see it while cosplaying as Pedro. He ain't a shill, even called SuperKek mid.

>>212984601
esl moment

>>212984573
Unfortunately this. Left, Right. Doesn't matter. This country trips over itself for Israel and it couldn't be more obvious who's calling the shots

>>212985198
Cons:
>Extremely choppy/expedited pacing, especially at the beginning, takes a while to find its feet. You get the sense a lot of stuff was cut/reshuffled. Superman also had this problem being an in-media-res style narrative, but won you over with the strength of the characterisation and Lex especially.
>Silver Surfer feels incredibly underutilised and underdeveloped. Her intro is ridiculously expedited from a hodgepodge of other developing plot points and it feels like the film is racing to Galactus. Huge waste of a decent actress and character. She does have some standout scenes especially in the space part of the film. Probably could have used one or two solo scenes to develop her presence and psyche and make her finale stand out more.
>Extremely dodgy CGI in certain scenes with The Thing, particularly in his first encounter with Natasha Lyonne's character, which feels completely superfluous and as underbaked as it was in the mid-2000's equivalent
>The Thing/Ben in general feels like an accessory without a character arc or significant feat of his own
>Galactus is held back and pushed into his ultimate demise by Sue's forcefield power pretty much alone in the film's climax, severely degrading the feel of the stature and inexorable godly might that's meant to be held in his possession. His downfall should be the result of his own folly/the Surfer's free will etc. He's reduced to a sort of lumbering Kaiju-esque titan wreaking havoc on the city. You definitely get the impression Galactus would have better served here had the team had one or two previous films to build up their characters.

>>212985198
It actually looks good unlike SuperKek, that retro 60s car those 4 drive looks cool unlike the stupid dog.

>>212985198
>>212985256
The most important question, is it better than Superman 2025?

>>212985256
How is Mr. F stretching effects?

Based. I want a replica.

doubt

>>212985278
For what it's worth, I thought both films had strong visual styles, each with their own flaws. Superman's cinematography was strangely washed out and bleached in certain scenes, but other's were great like the one where he's sat with Lois as the Justice Gang battle a giant space squid in the background. Superman also had the pocket dimension with looked like garbage.
Fantastic Four has that retro-future style and Jetsons-like aesthetic sensibility to its tech, but also suffers from Marvel's typical cinematographic crutches. Surprisingly it's the scenes where they're flying around in the spaceship that look the strongest.
>>212985306
I don't think so, just because Lex Luthor was a much better villainous thrust driving the narrative forward. I don't think the Herald of Galactus was the best story for them to start with. I get that Marvel probably didn't want to wait too long before getting the F4 cast in the MCU proper, but it feels kinda rushed.
>>212985333
Decent, but noticeably austere in usage. He mostly uses it to get around and reach for things, rather than contorting himself in ridiculous ways or shapes. The mid-2000's film, maligned as they were, at least did far more creative things with the team's abilities. I think it's actually quite strange just how much better those films looked in terms of special effects, even if they were narratively compromised.

>>212985581
>>male characters in general don't get much to do other than being humiliated for comedy or getting rescued/ordered around by girlbosses
Do all men in this flick cry like in Superman?

>>212984532 (OP)
All the snyderjeets predictably have jumped on the fantastic four/mcu bandwagon lmaoooo

>>212985595
Those 2000s cape-slop films actually looked like movies and not just CGI.

>>212985705
Jeet don't give a shit about Snyder - high caste white men do, however. Jeets love gunn though

>>212985705
Gunnkek already sweating.

Okay. Sure.

>>212984532 (OP)
I was surprised to hear positive reactions from “Chud” reviewers. I’ve got a free voucher from a screening of 28 Years Later where the projector fucked up, so I might use it on this. I was saving it for Shin Godzilla.

>>212985256

so aside from the enthusiasm of the moment it's the usual Marvel shit that nobody will remember after one year.

Now waiting for Feige's useless bla bla bla and Marvel bots' getting mad.

>>212985208
That’s fucking funny, he brought one of the famous Pedro Pascal phallus sticks.

>non-shill reactions

Looks like the review embargo is still in place to me.

>>212985938
Erasing phase 4 and 5 is the best decision Marvel made since endgame. If this flick isn't as woke and hypes up doomsday enough, 2 billis are in for both the upcoming avengers flicks. DCucks will lose again.

>>212985977
Out of theater reactions are out. Embargo lifts tomorrow.

>>212985256
>Galactus is held back and pushed into his ultimate demise by Sue's forcefield power

Mousejeets really acted like this was about to change the hierarchy of the capeshit universe only for it to be more girlboss garbage LMFAO

Superman won.

>>212985977
Chris Gore said embargo lifts today at 9am Pacific.

>>212985823
This. SuperKek is already dropping to 25 Mil this weekend. This even being decent will kill it.

>>212985595
Is it a better movie than James Gunn's Superkek?

>>212985256
If Galactus (dies?) what actually convinces them to come to our timeline from Thunderbolts?

>>212986436
Maybe their kid dies.

Kys shill.

superkeks I'm getting nervous...

>>212985306
Yes.

>>212985256
But that’s wrong, Galactus is literally only defeated because of Silver Surfer. Sue also dies because of her efforts

>>212986436
He doesn’t die

bummer.

Bump

>>212988912
You can even say it's Grimm

>>212984756
That's what we said about Quantumania, clearly that was wrong. That's what we said when Kang nigged out on a yt bish, clearly that was wrong. I see no reason why the Marvel slop machine will ever stop.

No doom?

>>212984532 (OP)
One drop of woke is all it takes to spoil the entire barrel, and there is a lot more than one drop. Pascal and the gay flamer are more than enough to make this an easy pass.

>>212988881
Watch the first 15 mins of Daredevil: Born Again (rest of the show is meh), that’s the best recent capeshit.

>>212985198
>Strong retrofuturistic 60's quirky style. It still suffers from the typical MCU color grading issues, but the aesthetic commitment is very strong.
This was the only reason I was slightly interested. Still probably won't watch it, at least not till after it hits streaming.

But then I dont watch super hero movies very often anyway
