I have a very hot take about Fantastic 4 first steps
So now that the movie is finally on streaming I have watched it and i would like to open with my first hot take :
1) I had this same complaint with Thunderbolts/New Avengers that the movie is VERY short. I felt like I was watching Sue Strom the movie in which rest of the 3 are side chracters. And i not saying that Sue's chracter was bad i loved it but i feel like Reed is not someone to go up against RDJ's Doom at all, he was very monotone throughout the movie having almost the same facial expressions from start to end that is doing Pedro Pascal injustice because the guy is a absolute beast whether it is Game of Thrones or TLOU but here the writing really fails him. So yeah the movies needed more time to flesh these chracters out.
2) Lack on iconic moments: This is not a major problem but still it is a problem, the movie is good but it isn't great. It lacks that one scene which you never forget. For example: if you have watched Brad Pitt's F1 you would for sure remember the very last seen when Sonny is about to win the race and everyone says over the radio that "He's flying". That is the kinda scene I am talking about which gets etched into your memory no matter how simple it is.
3) Jhonny was by far the most interesting chracter of them all and he really deserves more screen time, he felt more of a hero than Reed did. Also I loved David Harbour in New AvengerZ and Joseph Quinn was my fav here so I must say that if not for Strange Things cast Marvel would have had a really bad year. #video #movies source
