Fantastic Four: First Steps Review • All Sharp Turns, No Straightaways

And here's my review of Fanastic Four: First Steps. The film is directed by Matt Shakman and written by way too many people. Who held the pencil, who held the paper, and whose back did they use? It stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, and Ralph Ineson. Hunter discusses the film's embracing of Jack Kirby's art, what the film means to a lapsed MCU fan, and why its fast pace is an issue. 0:00 Intro0:24 F4 to the Lapsed MCU Fan1:53 What is a Starnold?3:58 Embracing Jack Kirby6:09 Too Fast-Paced8:05 Overcorrecting for Origin Story Fatigue9:49 Missing the MCU Magic#fantasticfour #mcu #moviereview
