Marvel's wholesome First Family returns with charm

MARVEL Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps is exactly what the MCU needed: a retro-futuristic breath of fresh air served with vintage aesthetics, cosmic threats and a family dynamic that finally feels... real. Directed by Matt Shakman, this PG-13 spectacle revives Marvel's First Family with enough charm to win over diehard fans and enough self-awareness to keep casual viewers engaged, even if the occasional visual hiccup reminds everyone that perfection is a moving target. Set in a 1960s-inspired alternate Earth, First Steps wisely skips the tired origin route and drops audiences straight into a world where Reed (Pedro Pascal), Sue (Vanessa Kirby), Ben (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Johnny (Joseph Quinn) are already established, bickering and saving lives together. There is no lab accident, no slow build-up, just four very different people doing their best to be heroes, family and functioning adults (in that order, usually). Kirby is the moment If this film had a secret weapon, her name is Kirby. As Sue Storm, scientist, forcefield queen and mom, she anchors the team with a fierce emotional intelligence that makes her both leader and heart. Kirby's version of Sue is layered and quietly complex, the kind of character who does not need to shout to command a room. She is maternal, yes, but never meek, and definitely not the 'smiling supportive wife' trope of older versions. It is a star turn that does not scream for attention but effortlessly earns it. And while Kirby is undeniably the standout, it is worth noting that no one on this team feels like filler. Pascal's Reed is delightfully awkward, all brain and zero social cues, a man whose stretchy limbs are somehow less elastic than his attention span. Quinn brings a cheeky, younger-brother energy to Johnny, mixing bravado and vulnerability in equal measure. He is the cool guy with a soft core and a lighter in his pocket, charming, cocky and just self-aware enough to know it. Meanwhile, Moss-Bachrach delivers a Thing that is both physically massive and emotionally nuanced. His Ben is gruff, grounded and full of grumbly warmth, the kind of guy who could punch a crater in a planet and still make it to Sunday dinner. And, yes, they look like siblings. Real siblings. Not 'Hollywood guesses what genes do' siblings. The visual cohesion between Kirby and Quinn is so convincing, some viewers might assume they were cast from the same family tree. The CGI is... mostly fantastic Visually, the film is a mixed bag, mostly great, occasionally glitchy and once or twice downright strange. The retro-futuristic design is an aesthetic feast: chrome architecture, mod fashion and space-age tech that feels nostalgic and new at the same time. When it works, it really works. Battles are grand, Galactus is menacing and Silver Surfer glides across the screen like a cosmic ballet dancer. But then there are moments, a background blur here, a rubbery limb there, that break the immersion just enough to raise eyebrows. And let us talk about the baby. Adorable? Yes. Vital to the plot? Yes. Consistently rendered? Absolutely not. One moment, the infant looks like a Gerber model dropped into a Marvel movie. The next? Something resembling a tech demo from a 2004 PS2 cutscene. It is unintentionally hilarious and strangely charming, depending on the scene. Still, none of these quirks derail the experience. The CGI wobbles feel more like speed bumps than potholes, distracting but not destructive. For fans, for newbies, for the unsure What makes First Steps especially notable is its accessibility. It is not a sequel that needs homework and it is not a fan-service minefield. Whether someone has been following the MCU for 16 years or wandered in after seeing a TikTok edit of Pascal, this film is welcoming. It offers all the emotional beats and explosive action MCU fans expect, but with enough character focus and narrative clarity to keep the casual crowd engaged. It is a Marvel movie, yes, but it is also a family dramedy in space-age packaging. There is enough humour to soften the stakes, enough heart to elevate the chaos and enough weirdness to keep it interesting. That said, First Steps would not work for everyone. Viewers looking for gritty realism or multiverse chaos might find it too stylised or too self-contained. Some will be turned off by the tonal shifts, the retro vibe, or the very existence of a talking robot named H.E.R.B.I.E., but that is fine. Not every Marvel film needs to please every quadrant and this one knows exactly what it wants to be. Reboot full of charm The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a refreshingly self-assured reintroduction to Marvel's most underrated team. With Kirby leading the charge in a performance that quietly steals the entire film and Pascal bringing just the right amount of chaotic genius, this movie nails the tricky balance between superhero spectacle and heartfelt family drama. The ensemble cast clicks effortlessly, the sibling chemistry is uncanny (literally) and even when the CGI veers into wonky territory, or the baby briefly morphs into a digital fever dream, the story never loses its emotional grounding. This is the kind of Marvel film that does not demand encyclopedic MCU knowledge or a spreadsheet of cameos to be enjoyed. It is fun, focused and full of personality. Some may nitpick the stylistic swings or uneven visuals, but when the core cast and character work shine this brightly, it is easy to forgive the flaws. In a sea of multiverse mayhem and interconnected epics, First Steps reminds audiences why they fell in love with superheroes in the first place, not because of the powers, but because of the people. A welcoming Marvel's cosmic family adventure reboot. - PR

#SHOWBIZ: Family comes first for the First Family

AFTER what feels like an eternity of anticipation, and a fair share of missteps, Marvel's beloved First Family finally gets their moment with "The Fantastic Four: First Steps". It's precisely the shot in the arm the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been craving. For years, the enduring appeal of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm has been squandered on the big screen. Previous iterations, particularly the 2015 attempt, left much to be desired. Featured Videos Thankfully, this 2025 reimagining not only rights past wrongs, but embraces the heart and soul of what makes these characters so special. From the start, it's clear this isn't merely another cog in the MCU machine. The film opts for a more contained and character-driven narrative, largely unshackled from the labyrinthine lore that has, at times, weighed down recent Marvel offerings. This refreshing focus allows us to connect with the quartet as they navigate their extraordinary origins. What helps is the casting, which is nothing short of inspired. Pedro Pascal brings gravitas to the brilliant but often socially awkward Reed Richards. Joseph Quinn, as Johnny Storm, delivers a more nuanced and less overtly arrogant Human Torch, imbuing him with a youthful exuberance that's utterly infectious. But it is Vanessa Kirby's Sue Storm who shines, anchoring the emotional core of the film with a compelling blend of strength, vulnerability and intelligence. And Ebon Moss-Bachrach, beneath the rocky exterior, captures the enduring heart and exasperation of Ben Grimm. Their collective chemistry is palpable, a genuine delight to witness, making their evolving family dynamic the real superpower here. And then, there's Galactus. Finally, the Devourer of Worlds receives the cinematic treatment he deserves. Voiced with chilling authority by Ralph Ineson, Galactus is no mere purple cloud, but a truly imposing and cosmic threat that casts a long, terrifying shadow over proceedings. The visual representation of his arrival and the sheer scale he commands are breathtaking, making a strong case for experiencing this film on the largest screen possible. Pacing, while largely well-handled, isn't entirely without issue. Some might find the initial world-building a tad leisurely, but for me, this deliberate approach allows for a deeper investment in the characters before the full might of their powers and their perils, unfurl. The action sequences, particularly those featuring the Silver Surfer, are visually stunning, though the film refreshingly prioritises intellect and innovation over brute-force spectacle. In an era where superhero fatigue is a phrase often bandied about, "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" arrives as a timely reminder of what makes these stories so enduring. It's a beautifully crafted origin story that champions family, discovery and the boundless possibilities of the unknown. Is it perfect? Perhaps not entirely. But it is, without doubt, the best Fantastic Four film to date. This is a journey worth taking, a fantastic new beginning for Marvel's First Family. Highly recommended. Directed by Matt Shakman Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach Duration: 115 mins Classification: 13
