For what it was, the pace was good. I have my problems with the movie, but it definitely cruised.
Reed and Johnny should always have facial hair.
Ben's beard in this was also pretty good and just funny to think about the mechanics of.
You gotta be careful with Sue because people want to...
Honestly I think if you made Galactus this sort of looming mystery in the background, something Reed was working on that didn't become clear until Act III (Like there are rumors of a silver figure in the background, maybe they see it or finally meet her in Act II) but most of the movie was them...
I don't think the movie says this at all. They all clearly have relationships outside of the movie: Sue works more broadly with the world is the easiest example, but Johnny clearly does ads and other things. Reed does TV shows. Like, that's not to say they have a deep, intimate connection with...
Sure, and taste is taste. For me, it just really stood out and was sad because I want to see these characters interact with more people. I think the actors are great and I want more of them. It just feels sad that we have to rush into another film instead of letting this one breath a bit more.
Oh sure, but I don't think that's really executed on. It's briefly there, but it never feels like something that is actually meant to be a focus or resolved. And I don't think it justifies having so few others interact with them.
Again, it's not that this movie is bad or has nothing, but I...
It's not that it's focused on the Fantastic Four as much as we barely see anyone beyond the Fantastic Four. It's just extremely noticeable, especially after a Superman film that really felt like it had a living world packed into it.
I think it's just that there is still tension between...
That "secretary" is actually the head of the Future Foundation. Not that you would really know that; I made the same assumption but looked it up before I posted it elsewhere. It is honestly wild how much of this movie is directly focused on the Fantastic Four and no one else.
I had the exact same feeling, where the beats are okay but they don't hit on the same emotional level as Superman. I think one of the big problems that took me a second to identify is that the Fantastic Four are incredibly isolated in this movie: outside of the F4 and the two main antagonists...
I mean, now that they have very bespoke, weirdo dragons, I kind of do? Like, with the traditional chromatic/metallic dragons, it's fairly easy to take a dragon, paint it a color and kind of finagle it to be whatever you want. But naughty word like the Conspirator Dragon (which looks like a Kingdom Death...
