La Derecha Diario Marvel redeems itself with 'Fantastic Four' and sweeps the critics
The new Marvel reboot achieved what seemed impossible: making the Fantastic Four work on the big screen
After several failed attempts, Marvel finally hit the mark with its reboot of Fantastic Four.
With a renewed cast and a very positive critical reception, the film marks a new beginning for the first family of the MCU.
Why is this version of Fantastic Four different?
Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach star in this new installment that, unlike its predecessors, received an average rating of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Critics praised the visual approach, character development, and narrative coherence, elements that had previously been highly questioned.
A past with a taste of failure
Previous versions hadn't convinced either the audience or the experts. Tim Story's films barely surpassed 30% approval, while the 2015 reboot was a disaster, with just 9%.
That track record worked against any attempt at a comeback, but Marvel Studios made a strong bet to reverse the trend.
An important release for the future of the MCU
Fantastic Four: First Steps not only won over critics, it also has a central role in what's next for the Marvel universe.
This new stage sets the stage for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, with Pascal leading the new Avengers.
A good film, though without the expected impact
Although the film works as a solid reinvention, some analysts argue that it doesn't quite take off.
"It's charming, aesthetic, and well-acted, but Marvel needed a more forceful impact", specialized media pointed out.
